create EDX task through API

[#1]

I am trying to create an EDX task through QMS API. However, there is no such option to create one. I have automated the triggering of EDX task once it is manually created on a document. Would any one know how to create one. A sample code or example or even reference to functions that could be used is appreciated.

Thanks

which version of qlikview server are you running ?

Regardless of version (10 or 11), it's called ExternalEventTrigger, and inherits from Trigger. You have to use the SaveDocumentTask, and the object structure Triggering > TaskTriggering > Triggers > Trigger > ExternalEventTrigger. Look in the QMSAPIDocumentation.chm that's located on the machine where the QMS is installed, under C:\Program Files\QlikView\Management Service.

Also, take a look at the QMS API Client in Power Tools 1.1 for QlikView, here: http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-3059. It's an invaluable tool when working with the QMS APIs.

Tammy, am using version 11.

Stefan is right- i thought you were trying to write code to fire the triggered task, which uses a different technique depending on qv10 or qv11.

Stefan,

Can you please comment on "community.qlik.com/message/278652#278652"? I'm trying to do the same thing that the person in this thread and I've posted my code. It saves, however in the QlikView Management Console I see my task appear but not with the EDX event label.
