How to Run macros in QMC

[#1]

HI Guys,

I've got a problem when i run my  QV model manually on a server it runs and send me an email with an attachment Via Macros,

but when i use QMC it dosen't send and email and it dosen't give me any problems with the macros.

* i did allowed Macro execution on a server together with unsafe macros

so im not sure on how to tackle this??

Urgent help will be beneficial.

Thanks.

QMC will not run macros.

You can send e-mails from a load script by various mechanisms. Using PowerShell (part of any Windows installation) can allow you to use the PowerShell Send-MailMessage command. This has to be invoked from the load script with a load script statment called EXECUTE.

However the right version of PowerShell has to be installed on the server and the Windows administrators has to allow the account which is running the load script to execute PowerShell. This should be possible to accomplish as it doesn't introduce new software but of course the security policy has to be taken into account.

Hi Thabiso,

You just can run macros if you're using the IE Plugin. Probably you're using Ajax and that's why the macro won't launch.

Hi Andres,

My Macro runs fine, when running manual reload, but when i deploy it and schedule to QMC and run immediately thats when i can't get the answer im looking for.

Manually: i receive an email with an attachment

on Deployment: model runs but no email.

do i have to enable something in order for my macro to process the step.

Thanks.

Another way, unless you want to do as Petter suggests is to make use of Publisher External Tasks:

- Create a batch file

- In said file, issue %PATH-TO-QV.exe%\qv.exe /r path-to-qvw-doc.qvw

- Create an external task in QMC > System > External Task

- OnPostReload macros gets triggered if qv.exe does the reload, NOT if qvb does the reload.

HI Jerry,

not so sure about that, if its a Qlikview Publisher one, then i don't have.

Thanks.
