Bulk import of Qlik Sense apps & tasks, take 2
Importing apps into Qlik Sense is a manual, tedious task. Creating reload tasks even more so. Ctrl-Q version 3.7 automates this fully, taking input from a single Excel file and then imports apps and creates tasks in a single go. Task chains supported too!
The latest version 3.7 of Ctrl-Q (available here) adds new features that make bulk import of apps and reload tasks much more useful and complete.
Ok... so what does that mean in plain English?
💡
It is now possible to fully automate the creation of task chains in client-managed Qlik Sense Enterprise.
Define in an Excel file which apps should be imported, what tasks should be created and how the tasks should be linked together.
Then run a single command to import apps and create reload tasks.
Great for creating fast, well documented and repeatable workflows.

The new features are
- Import apps from QVF files on disk.
- The imported apps can be published to any stream, app owners, tags and custom properties can be set as needed on a per-app basis.
- Imported reload tasks can be associated with either existing apps or newly imported ones.
- Task chains can be created just as before, but now also including tasks associated with the newly imported apps.
Documentation and examples available here.
Previous version of Ctrl-Q supported bulk import of reload tasks only, described in a previous blog post.
