Hi

Batch file is file that is used to execute windows commands. These batch files can be executed from Qlikview and even from batch file we can reload the Qlikview file and we can do more using the batch files.

Hi,

Batch file is not related to Qlikview, it is windows file, using which we can schedule some task to run automatically.   In Qlikview batch file is used to reload the Qlikview file atuomatically based on a schedule time.  The schedule of batch file is configured in Windows Task Scheduler.

Check some sample script in below link

Hope this helps you.

Windows commands are used to do certain tasks like reloading Qlikview Dashboards, Copy & Move files from one folder to another folder etc.   Check the suggested links.

Check in google you will get many commands.
