hi
I need a help. I have a few dashboards and different set of users are given access to each of the dashboards. Now when a task fails i want mail to be sent to the group who have access to the respective dashboard.
for eg: Persons p,q,r are having access to abc dashboard
persons x,y,z are having access to def dashboard.
when a task of abc dashboard fails i want mail to be send to p,q,r only.
How can i do this?.
Please help me as iam new to qlikview.
thanks in advance

Hi Archana
If email notification is to be sent to QlikView admin then it can be done in Qlikview Management Console-> System -> Setup -> QV Servers -> Alerts but emailing to different people/group based on failure of certain document is not possible from QlikView Management Console (as far as my knowledge is concerned).
There is a work around and I'm not sure if its the optimal solution.
Let us say you have two dashboard apps (viz. dashboard_1 and dashboard_2). I would create two additional apps (message_1, message_2). message_1 will send email to A, B and C who are the owners of dashboard_1 app. Similarly message_2 app will send an email to D, E and F who are the owners of dashboard_2.
Please refer this thread to know how to create message_1.qvw and message_2.qvw (http://community.qlik.com/thread/25067). Its possible to automate the execution of the Marco function by adding the Action in Settings -> Document Settings -> Triggers --> Click on "OnPostReload" --> Select the function that sends the email.
Now how to configure to send an email to the dashboard owners when the data load fails?
1 - Copy message_1 and message_2 to the access point folder. From QMC --> Documents -->Expand QVS documents tree till you see message_1 and message_2.
2 - Click on message_1 --> Go to Reload tab --> Choose 'On Event from Another Task' --> 'Failed' --> Choose dashboard_1.qvw. This means when dashboard_1.qvw data load failes, message_1.qvw will be loaded and an email will be sent.
3 - Repeat step 2 for message_2 with dashboard_2 document.
I hope this helps!
