Configuring Time Allowed for Gadgets to Load

The life.cycle.timeout property in the config.properties file controls the amount of time that Openspace should wait for all the gadgets to load before it times out.

When Openspace is loading the gadgets, it waits no longer than the time specified by life.cycle.timeout for all the gadgets to load. This means that if one of the gadgets is broken, Openspace doesn't keep waiting for it to load but instead returns control to the user interface.

Prerequisites

TIBCO recommends you take a backup of the config.properties file before amending it. For the location of the config.properties file, see Openspace Configuration Overview.

Procedure

  1. Open the config.properties file in a text editor.
  2. Depending on your requirements, amend the life.cycle.timeout property to the maximum number of milliseconds that you want Openspace to wait for all the gadgets to load. The default is 20000 ms or 20 s. Do not include any commas in the number.
  3. Save and close the config.properties file.
  4. Log out and log back into TIBCO Openspace for the changes to take effect.
