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.
About this task
You then have the option of turning the feature off for individual files (see
Disallowing cached and precomputed data in individual scheduled update files).
Procedure
-
Open a command line and export the service configuration by using the
export-service-config command.
-
Open the
Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Web.config file in a text editor or XML editor and locate the following section. By default, the exported configuration file is saved to the
<installation dir>\tomcat\spotfire-bin\config\root directory.
<scheduledUpdates concurrentUpdates="2" updateIntervalSeconds="60">
<forcedUpdate enabled="true" maximumRejectedUpdates="2"/>
<cacheSettings enabled="false" path="" maxDiskSizeMb="0" maxAgeMinutes="1440"/>
</scheduledUpdates>
-
In the line
<cacheSettings enabled="false" path="" maxDiskSizeMb="0" maxAgeMinutes="1440"/>, make these changes:
- Set
cacheSettings enabled to "true".
- Set
path to the path on disk where the data is to be stored.
For information on the other settings, see
Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Web.config.
-
Import the configuration back into
Spotfire Server by using the
import-service-config command.
-
Assign the edited service configuration to the
Spotfire Server by using the
set-service-config command.
