Inserting a field in a Spotfire Automation Services job
To ensure that the Job Builder creates a new file each time that a particular job runs, you can add one or several fields, such as the automatically updated date and time fields, to the file name. You can also insert fields in other text areas, such as an email message that you create for sending a new file to its recipients.
About this task
If Automation Services is used to export data, images or PDFs, an administrator can configure a root folder path to be used in the export tasks. This can be particularly important if the jobs should be executed on a Linux computer, or if you need a predefined path mounted in a container image when deploying new software updates. See Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Automation.config file in the Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration manual. The export path defined in the service configuration can then be used when configuring the tasks in the Job Builder.
Procedure
- From Spotfire Analyst, open the Spotfire Automation Services Job Builder.
- Open the job file to which you want to add a field.
- In the Automation Services Job Builder dialog, place the cursor where you want to insert a field, either in the file name part of the destination path or in another text area.
- Click , and then select the field you want to add.
