Hi
I'm sure I have read a document on this but can't seem to find the document now.
We run a decentralized system and every night the backup's are sent from the branches to Head Office. Currently we have a scheduled Qlik Generator running in the early mornings , extracting the data from the backups. But sometime the backup only come in the next morning.
I want to know if I can trigger the Qlik Generator to run when a new backup has been pasted or saved in a certain folder. In other words I want the Generator to extract the Data as the backup finish downloading. *File Detection Trigger*
The Task Trigger options are time-based or chained to another task event. Hence you cannot create a trigger based on a "File Detector".
One alternative is to schedule the task to run in small intervals, like each 10 minutes (the lowest frequency as possible, to avoid an overhead on the server), and inside the script you can use something like:
If FileTime('[file path]') > ReloadTime() then
[do the load stuff]
end if
