QlikView Task Dependency

Interesting facts noticed:

  • Task dependency defaulted to success. Meaning if A is made as dependent for task B then A has to get completed successfully for B to execute.
  • Task dependency will overrule the Task Trigger.

Reference Manual Definition:

Task dependency is a way of making sure that the current task runs only if other tasks have finished their last execution successfully. The task dependencies overrule any trigger, which means that a trigger might not be able to start the current task, if a task dependency for the current task is not fulfilled. To configure a dependency for the current task, click on the Add icon (Green Plus symbol), to the right in the pane.
