Additional configuration
You can add to or change your Spotfire configuration by using the configuration tool or the command line, or by working directly in the configuration file.
- Updating a server configuration in the configuration tool
You can change a Spotfire Server configuration by using the configuration tool. - Updating a server configuration on the command line
You can change a Spotfire Server configuration by running a series of commands on the command line. - Manual configuration
Certain configuration properties in the Spotfire system are rarely used and cannot be set using commands. To use these properties you manually edit the server configuration. You may also want to work directly in the configuration to configure features that require complex commands, such as enabling several authentication options. - Manually editing the service configuration files
The service configuration files give you access to options that are not available in the Spotfire Server administrative interface. You can use the default configuration files as a template to create and import as many customized service configurations as your Spotfire implementation requires. You can then apply the customized configurations to new or existing Spotfire Automation Services and Spotfire Web Player services. - Customizing the service logging configuration
Log4Net.config specifies the logs and logging levels for the Web Player service and Automation Services. To edit this configuration, you must export its contents to an XML file, edit it, import it, and then apply the configuration. - Configuring a specific directory for library import and export
You can change the directory that Spotfire uses for library import and export if the default directory is inconvenient. For most purposes this setting does not need to be changed. - Enabling cached and precomputed data for scheduled update files
Disk caching and precomputations of data shorten the time it takes for a scheduled update file to reopen in a Spotfire Web Player after the Web Player is restarted. This feature is disabled by default. It is enabled at the service level by editing the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Web.config file for each installed web client service. - Disabling the attachment manager cache
By default the Spotfire attachment manager caches library content and the results of information link executions when downloading or saving large amounts of data. You can disable the attachment manager cache by editing the configuration.xml file - Tips for running antivirus software
You can reduce the performance impact of running antivirus software on computers that run Spotfire Servers and node managers by excluding certain files from the system checks.
