Calling inProcess App Operations from Qlik Sense Management Console

Qlik Sense Management Console (QMC) allows you to schedule and run tasks, including the execution of external programs such as the inProcess App Operations. This can be useful for automating tasks such as importing and exporting QVF files. In this guide, we will show you how to set up a task in the QMC to call the inProcess App Operations.

Create a BAT file with the commands to execute the inProcess App Operations.

In our example, we have an inProcessAppOperations.bat with the following code:

Step 1: Open the Qlik Sense Management Console by navigating to the URL of your Qlik Sense server and logging in.

Step 2: Click on the "Tasks" button in the left navigation menu.

Step 3: Click on the "External program task" button to create a new task.

Step 4: Give your task a name, and choose the type of task as "Windows"

Step 5: In the "Path”, enter the path to the BAT file created above, in our example:
D:\inprocess-app-operations\executable\inProcessAppOperations.bat.

Step 6: Select the Trigger for your task.

Step 7: Click on the "Apply" button to complete the task setup.

Step 8: Your task will now appear in the Tasks section of the Qlik Sense Management Console. You can edit or delete the task by selecting the appropriate option in the action button.

You can now run the inProcess App Operations automatically at specific times by using the Qlik Sense Management Console (QMC).

Notes:

• Set your App Export or Import Profiles to execute without asking for confirmation. Set SkipConfirmation to true.

• Note that both BAT and inProcess App Operations executable files must be accessible by Qlik Sense Server and the Qlik Sense Service Account user.
