Library compression configuration properties
By default, library items created by users of Spotfire Analyst or Spotfire Business Author, or are imported into the Spotfire library, are compressed using the gzip format. This design provides more efficient use of library space, whether the library is stored in the Spotfire database or in an external storage mechanism. You can change the defaults to meet your specific library needs, including disabling it altogether.
The default configuration is designed to provide the best compression-to-performance ratio; however, you might need to change the default configuration to best suit your storage and retrieval needs. The following properties provide this option. To set any of these configuration properties, use the command-line command set-config-prop, passing in the property name and value.
| Property name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
library.compressed-content.enabled |
Specifies whether content compression is enabled. | true |
activities.compression.max-execution-time-seconds |
Specifies the duration, in seconds, of compression activity before terminating the operation as failed. | 600 |
activities.uncompression.max-execution-time-seconds |
Specifies the duration, in seconds, of uncompression activity before terminating the operation as failed. | 600 |
activities.cleanup-interval-seconds |
Specifies the interval, in seconds, before the system checks long-running activities for termination. | 3600 |
activities.max-threads |
Specifies the maximum number of threads to allocate for all background running activities in a given TIBCO Spotfire Server node. | 10 |
Additionally, the command-line command export-library-content has the optional parameter compressed-content, with the default of true, which specifies whether library content should be compressed when exported. Users can set this option to false to import content to an earlier release of Spotfire, where compressed content is not supported.
