Job execution

After you create a job using the Spotfire Automation Services Job Builder, you can use the Client Job Sender to set up the job to be executed periodically.

The Job Sender tool, Spotfire.Dxp.Automation.ClientJobSender.exe, and its configuration file, Spotfire.Dxp.Automation.ClientJobSender.exe.config, are downloaded as part of the Automation Services bundle. These two files must be installed on a computer that can communicate through HTTP (or HTTPS if you have set this up) with Spotfire Server. Both the executable file and the config file must reside in the same directory.

  • Running the Client Job Sender
    The Client Job Sender is run on the command line, and takes two arguments when executed: the URL to the Spotfire Server, and the full path to the job file.
  • Configuring the Client Job Sender
    The configuration file Spotfire.Dxp.Automation.ClientJobSender.exe.config is a standard XML configuration file. It is used to configure authentication to the Spotfire Server, and the logging and handling of communication with Spotfire Server.
  • Scheduling the Client Job Sender
    To schedule a job to be executed with the Spotfire Automation Services Client Job Sender, use Windows Task Scheduler
