Trigger "execute script" - how to get that working in Browser_view?

[datanibbler]

Hi,

I am looking to using QlikView for ETL tasks, which would help save the employees time they usually spend on assembling all kinds of lists.

For that to work obviously the users will have to be able to reload those apps themselves instead of the server reloading them according to a fixed schedule.

=> How can I get that to work?

Most users (well, assumedly they all do) access the apps via the browser.

I can add a button with the action "execute script" and it works well in the client_software

<=> it does not appear to work in the Browser_view. i cannot see anything happening, so i opened the log_file, but it did not change, so the reload was obviously not executed.

=> Is there something more to that? What do I have to change to get that to work?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Trust me, it can be done if the server guys allows you put an exe file on the QVS server.

Okay,

then how would the EXECUTE command in QlikView have to look to execute that file?

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.run( " batchfile ",0,true )
