Upgrading service configurations
Service configuration changes require manual updates if you do not want to use their default values.
About this task
To get the correct configuration files, it is recommended that you export both the default new service configuration and your old service configuration from Spotfire Server by using the export-service-config command. Then apply all changes made in the old configuration files to the new configuration files. Then import the new configuration back into Spotfire Server by using the import-service-config command, and use this configuration for your new services.
For more information on how to edit the configuration files, see Manually editing the service configuration files.
For information on the added or changed settings, see the topics for the appropriate configuration files.
