Hi,

Add this two commands at the end of the macro

ActiveDocument.Save  

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Quit

Hope this helps.

In the publisher you can create Supporting task and add trigger for the task after the app reloading/distribution.

In the command line statement you need to put your macro script execution via batch file(just transfer function from module to vbs file)

batch file example:

cscript "C:\SMS.vbs"

VBS:

Sub SMS

set obj=ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CH1736")

obj.ExportEx "E:\ADW_Trigger\QlikviewSMS.txt",1

End Sub

Hi Rohit,

Try using the Windows scheduler instead of Qlikview publisher.
