Changing the number of retries for failed scheduled updates

By default, Spotfire Server retries a failed scheduled update ten times. Using the command-line interface, you can set a different limit for the number of times that a scheduled update is retried if it initially fails.

About this task

Note: This property was previously set by using the stopUpdatesAfterRepeatedFail setting in the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Web.config file.

Procedure

Open a command-line interface and export the active configuration (the configuration.xml file) by using the export-config command. (For details on using the Spotfire command line, see Executing commands on the command line.)
Use the config-scheduled-updates-retries command to set the retry limit.
Example:
```
config config-scheduled-updates-retries --stop-updates-after-repeated-fail-enabled=true --fails-before-stop=X
```
where X is the number of times to retry the update.
Import the configuration file back to the Spotfire database by using the import-config command.
Restart the Spotfire Server service.
