Additional settings for scheduled updates
In addition to basic information about the analysis that you want to update and when you want the update to occur, several additional property settings are available in Spotfire Server.
- Setting the number of Spotfire Web Player instances to make available for a scheduled update
By default, Spotfire Server uses one of the available Spotfire Web Player instances when users open a file with a scheduled update. To load balance or to change the resource load of a particular analysis, the administrator can set the number of instances on which the updated analysis can open. - Switching the scheduled update method from automatic to manual
When the scheduled update method is set to manual, users decide when to incorporate new data in the analysis. - Disallowing cached and precomputed data in individual scheduled update files
If your Spotfire environment is set up to use disk caching and precomputations of data to shorten the time it takes for an updated analysis to reopen in a Spotfire Web Player after the analysis closes, this setting may prevent the latest data from appearing in the reopened analysis. You can turn this setting off for individual scheduled update files.
