Need help with triggering of EDX task in QlikView 11

[sparur]

Hello guys.

I need your help.

I'll try to explain my situation...

Earlier we had one Qlikview server 9 and we triggered our EDX task with special macro (VB script). This macro used GET / POST method like this:

REQUEST =          "<Global method=""RequestEDX"" key=""" & GetTimeLimitedRequestKey() &  """>"

REQUEST = REQUEST & "<i_TaskIDOrTaskName>" & EDXTASK & "</i_TaskIDOrTaskName>"

REQUEST = REQUEST & "<i_Password>" & EDXPSWD & "</i_Password>"

REQUEST = REQUEST & "<i_VariableName /><i_VariableValueList />"

REQUEST = REQUEST & "</Global>"

' Submit request to the QDS via HTTP

Dim xmlHttp

Set xmlHttp = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

'xmlHttp.open "POST",QDS,false

xmlHttp.open "POST", QDS, false, Username, Password

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type","text/xml"

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Length", Len(REQUEST)

xmlHttp.Send REQUEST

' show the response

'WScript.Echo xmlHttp.responseText

' Load the Response into an XML object

dim xml

set xml = createobject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

xml.async = false

xml.loadXML(xmlHttp.responseText)

' Build an XSLT string to extract the TaskStartResult from the XML response

XSLT =        "<xsl:stylesheet version=""1.0"""

XSLT = XSLT & " xmlns:xsl=""http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"">"

XSLT = XSLT & "<xsl:output method=""html"" omit-xml-declaration=""yes""/>"

XSLT = XSLT & "<xsl:template match=""/"">"

XSLT = XSLT & "<xsl:for-each select=""RequestEDX/RequestEDXResult"">"

XSLT = XSLT & "<xsl:value-of select=""TaskStartResult""/>"

XSLT = XSLT & "</xsl:for-each>"

XSLT = XSLT & "</xsl:template>"

XSLT = XSLT & "</xsl:stylesheet>"

'WScript.Echo XSLT

' Load the XSLT into an XML object

dim xsl

set xsl = createobject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

xsl.async = false

xsl.loadXML(XSLT)

' Transform the XML result to extract the TaskStartResult

' then skip the first 40 bytes of XML Header

RESULT = xml.transformNode(xsl)

Select case RESULT

Case "Success":

RC = 0

Case "TaskNotFound":

RC = 1

Case "OtherError":

RC = 2

Case Other

RC = 90

End Select

xsl = null

xml = null

xmlHttp = null

It's worked!

but now we upgraded to QlikView 11 and this approach doesn't support.

I know about this documentation: http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-2650

but there we have Visual Studio .NET project with c# programming code

and we have special EXE tool which can perform triggering.

But I can't use this EXE tool because I need perform trigger of my special EDX task from other QVW file (we use IE plugin on client side)

I can't understand how I can execute EXE tool (which exists on server side) with IE plugin.

Any applications try to execute on client side with IE plugin. So I think that I can't use this tool.

And I think that need a new macro which perform this functionality for QV11.

but I don't have very good skills in .NET scripting and I can't transform C# into VB script (for internal qlikview macro).

Moreover, I don't sure that it will be possible, but I hope

Somebody can help me?

I don't think so. But you need not install the exe application file. QlikView simply uses the exe file at the time if EDX trigger

Currently, will generate error like below when I run the VB script.
