Description

Macro is not triggered after scheduled reload via QlikView Management Console (QMC) task. The trigger "OnPostReload" in the document doesn't seem to have effect.
The same trigger is working fine when reload the document via QlikView desktop.

Environments:
QlikView Server: All versions

Cause

Working as designed according to the documentation from Qlik Help.

The following triggers are not to be used in the QlikView Server environment, since they lack meaning or may cause unexpected results:
OnPostReduceData
OnPostReload

Resolution
