QlikView execute python script via QMC

Hello there,

I'm trying to create a QlikView script, which would call and execute an external python script. The below line, works fine, if I execute it locally, but if I execute it through QMC, it will fail as the system account does not have an access to my local directory.

EXECUTE "C:\Program Files\Anaconda3\python.exe" "\\server_name\Automated_email.py" -p;

Is there an easy way, how to adjust it so it works through QMC? Or Python would need to be installed on server?

Many thanks!

You will need to install Python on the server since the QlikView service account does not have access to your local directory. Since you are using the QMC, the QMC uses the QV Service account to execute all tasks including external task executions.
