Changing how long to wait for scheduled updates to load after a service is restarted

If a service stops and then is restarted, any scheduled updates in the system are reloaded. You can change the length of time before they are reloaded by editing the configuration.xml file.

About this task

By default, the setting failover-delay is set to true (was false in earlier versions), and the default time is 180 seconds.

Procedure

Export and open the Spotfire Server configuration file. For general instructions, see Manually editing the Spotfire Server configuration file.

Change the number "180" (which indicates 180 seconds, or 3 minutes) to a delay time that suits your needs, or change true to false to disable the delay. These changes are done in the following section:

<scheduled-updates>
    <!-- If enabled, introduces a delay to before scheduled updates are loaded when a service starts or stops.
    If disabled, scheduled updates are reevaluated immediately. -->
    <failover-delay>
      <enabled>true</enabled>
      <!-- delay expressed in seconds -->
      <delay>180</delay>
    </failover-delay>

Save the configuration file and import it back to the server. For instructions, see Manually editing the Spotfire Server configuration file.
