SQL Job completed - how to notify external application

  • Hello,

    When my SQL Agent job completes successfully, I'd like to send a notification to QlikView. The idea is to stop QlikView having to constantly check if the job has been run, and just get notified when it needs to update its data.

    I don't know how to start. Can the job notifications push a success message to QlikView? I don't think I want to send an email, but something that indicates to QlikView to update the tables.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • You could wait for the job to complete in a loop from QlikView.

    It can be done quite easily in a stored procedure.

  • Why not simply add a step to the end of the job that executes on success ?

  • I'd love to add a step to the job, but I don't know what that step would be. How do I notify the Qlikview server to start its own update process? I could have another stored procedure, but I don't know how to actually contact that server.
