Solved: Alerts & QlikView publisher - Qlik Community

Report Inappropriate Content · ‎2011-08-10

All,

I am totally struck with this issues and badly need your help.

Problem:

We are hosting 3 different dashboards on our new Server. These three dashboards have publisher tasks to reload the QVW. We would like to send job failure notifications to different email id's for different jobs. Currently publisher only allows to configure same email id(s) for all job failures. I also tried to use the alert option for this, but it is only working to send success notifications but not for failure notifications.

Could you please let me know is there any option available in QlikView to achieve this?

Regards,

Murali

There is no standard capability to achieve this. There are couple of possible ways you can achieve this but neither are perfect.

1 – Set a 2^nd job to follow from the 1^st job but only when it fails, inside this 2^nd job have an empty reload script and an alert to fire off your email. You can probably make use of some parameters to save having to use lots of documents too.

2 – Trigger/Monitor the jobs outside of QV using EDX. This way you can programmatically start a task monitor its status and handle a failure if required.

Cheers
