How to trigger a QMC task from command line in Qlik View

[daveatkins]

We need to trigger the start of a series of QMC reload tasks of QlikView documents following the completion of ETL jobs on another server. Is there a way to write a batch script that will start the reload of an existing task on the QMC so this batch file can be executed by a process automation software tool like JAMS or as a part of an apache airflow DAG?

Maybe you can use EDX triggers

There is a tool on Sourceforge to start EDX triggers:

I found this on the JAMS website. So you can definitely use the edx triggers

Does JAMS work with Qlikview?

thanks for the suggestions, yes these are the only things I have found so far. So is EDX triggers the only way to go?

The only other way I can think of is to use API. Check the below link to the API help.
