Description:
___________
🎁 Welcome to 25 days of QlikMas! Each day I'll unwrap one quick Qlik Sense server admin lesson you can learn in under fifteen minutes. Today, we'll enhance a PowerShell script used to stop Qlik Sense services that we created yesterday by adding a parameter that lets you skip stopping of the Qlik Sense Repository Database service when needed. You'll learn how to create and use a PowerShell switch parameter, apply conditional logic, and safely control which services are stopped without creating duplicate scripts.
Perfect for Qlik Sense administrators who want more flexible, reliable automation when managing server services and maintenance tasks.
📅 Come back tomorrow for Day 17 of QlikMas where I'll share more Qlik Sense admin tips and insights!
