We have seen in the previous section that we can use the QlikView Server to schedule reloads on different kinds of triggers. Without having QlikView Publisher, we can only have one trigger per reload. This is generally enough for most purposes, but some organizations may have a requirement for more flexible reload schedules.

One of the triggers, Event Driven Execution (EDX), is not time based. This trigger allows a web service call to be made to the QlikView Management Service (Service wsdl is http://servername:4799/QMS/Service) to start the task. A password can also be specified here. This allows external applications to trigger your QlikView reloads.

Not all of us are developers who can run an application to make web service calls. Luckily, someone has created a command-line executable and made this available for free download from the QlikView Community at http://community.qlikview.com/docs/DOC-2650.

For those who like taking things apart to see how it...
