Hi and Welcome to QlikFix!
This video helps correlate the Reload Tasks in Qlik Sense with QlikView.
In QlikView, document reloads tasks can be configured in two different location depending on whether the Publisher license is applied.
We will assume the presence of a QlikView Publisher License in this demonstration.
The key component when scheduling a Reload Task are Triggers.
In QlikView when editing the Reload task triggers, the trigger types are listed under the "Start the task" drop down menu.
These consist of Scheduled based triggers, and Event based triggers.
In Qlik Sense, we can see the same types of Triggers listed under the Actions drop down menu.
The first five options are simply predefined scheduled base triggers.
We can see in the scheduled trigger setup similar options as in QlikView.
Looking at the task event trigger options we see that one or more tasks can be added. This correlates with the two options seen in QlikView. Options "On event from another task" and "On multiple events completed".
Once the Reload Task is triggered and executed, the reload script log can be downloaded for reviewing by clicking on the information icon under the Task Status column, then clicking on Download script logs button.
This is the same type of script reload log found in QlikView under the "Document Log" tab in the Task Status' "Show Task Detail" pane.
The "Max number of simultaneous QlikView engine for distribution" setting in QlikView when using a Publisher license, or the "Max Concurrent reloads" when no Publisher license is used is similar to Qlik Sense "Max concurrent reloads" setting found under the Scheduler settings.
In Qlik Sense, the load balancing and starting of reload tasks is performed by the Scheduler service, as it is performed by the Distribution Services in QlikView.
Distribution Groups can be enabled in QlikView in order to unbalance or dedicate QDS nodes for reloading specific documents.
In Qlik Sense the same type of setup can be configured using Load Balancing rules where Scheduler nodes are dedicated to reload specific Apps.
Thanks for watching!
