Ok, then the only suggestion would be to look at the log file.

If the file is missing, the reload task will fail, there will be no changes in your QVW file, you're not losing any data.

I have three tasks and this is the first that tests for the presence of the file if the task fall an error in the other two tasks will not engage therefore ideal for me and to test if the file is not present or whether I charge if I do anything without losing my data

The "don't want" doesn't seem to be a valid reason for implementing some complex solution

to run EDX Tasks you need the qmsedx.exe. Have a look at

Using EDX in QlikView 11

and

QMSEDX Enhanced

With EDX then all what you have to do in the script of your first task:

for each File in filelist ('\\Path\To\TestFile')

  //File exist!

  //run the next task

  //No spaces anywhere in the names!!

  EXECUTE \\Path\To\qmsedx.exe -task=YourEdxTaskName -qms=YourServerName -password=YourEdxPassword ;

next File

Hi sorry to answer later i'm in France.

I just have to put this code in my script ?

But this task should have to run automatically when users put the flag file.

How to do it ?

Instead of creating a flag file, the user can call the EDX task directly via a batch file for example.
