# Reload Applications

The Reload Applications step retrieves all applications from the plan and triggers a full reload of each app in the Qlik Cloud tenant. To avoid unwanted and extended queuing, this step is not available when the plan includes more than 30 applications.

## Prerequisite steps

* `Import Applications`

## Step details

* Retrieval method:  
  Applications are identified using their unique app description, created during the Import Applications step.

* Execution:  
  A reload task is initiated for each application. Reloads are performed in parallel where possible, and their status is monitored throughout the execution of the job.

* Progress monitoring:  
  The job log provides a real-time overview of reload statuses, updating every 10 seconds until completion.

* Result artifacts:  
  Once all reloads have completed (successfully or otherwise), a summary report is generated in two formats:

  * `reloads.json`
  * `reloads.xlsx`

  These files are saved in the `Reloads` folder inside the job directory:  
  `Qlik Analytics Migration Tool\Migration Projects\<PROJECT>\<JOB>\Reloads`

## Notes

* Reload failures may indicate issues in the updated script or missing data connections. Refer to the reload logs in Qlik Cloud or the job output for diagnosis.
* This step is crucial when applications are imported without data (that is, without `Export with Data` selected).
* This step will not work for plans with over 30 apps, and a pop-up will indicate this when applicable. Using existing reload schedules or creating new ones is recommended for larger counts.
