Preventing users from opening scheduled update files outside of their schedule window

Large analysis files are often managed by scheduled updates so that end users can view these files without waiting for them to download. If an end user tries to open one of these scheduled update files outside of its schedule window, however, the file can take a long time to open and may significantly tie up system resources. You can configure the server to block end-user access to these files when the files are not scheduled.

About this task

Note: This configuration applies to all scheduled update files. It has no effect on files that are not managed by scheduled updates.

Procedure

Open a command-line interface and export the active configuration by using the export-config command. (For details on using the Spotfire command line, see Executing commands on the command line.)
On the command line, enter the following command:
```
config set-config-prop --name=scheduled-updates.performance.deny-open-when-not-scheduled --value=true
```
For information about the command options, see set-config-prop.
Import the configuration file back to the Spotfire database by using the import-config command.
Restart the Spotfire Server.
