Manually editing the server configuration in an XML or text editor

Before editing the Spotfire Server configuration in an XML editor or a text editor, you must export the configuration to an XML file.

Alternatively you can edit the configuration in the configuration tool; see Manually editing the server configuration in the configuration tool.

For general information, see Manual configuration.

Procedure

On the computer running Spotfire Server, open a command line as an administrator and change the directory to the location of the config.bat file (config.sh on Linux). The default location is <installation dir>/tomcat/spotfire-bin.
Export the active configuration to a configuration.xml file by using the export-config command.
The configuration.xml file appears in your working directory.
Open configuration.xml in an XML editor or a text editor and make your changes.
When you have finished, save and close the file.
Upload the edited configuration file back to the Spotfire database by using the import-config command.
Restart the Spotfire Server; for instructions, see Start or stop Spotfire Server.

The imported configuration becomes the active configuration for that server or cluster.
