Changing the default configuration for library compression

By default, library items created by users of Spotfire Analyst or the web client, or items that 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.

Before you begin

You must have administrative credentials for Spotfire.

About this task

Perform this task on the computer where Spotfire is installed.

Procedure

Open a command-line interface and export the active configuration by using the export-config command. (For details on using the Spotfire command line, see Executing commands on the command line.)
On the command line, enter the command to change library compression options.
```
config set-config-prop --name=<config property name> --value=value
```
- For more information about the compression options, see Library compression configuration properties.
- For information about the CLI command options, see set-config-prop.
The following example demonstrates disabling library compression.
Example:
```
config export-config --force
config set-config-prop --name=library.compressed-content.enabled --value=false
config import-config --comment "Disable library compression"
```
Import the configuration file back to the Spotfire database by using the import-config command.
Restart the Spotfire Server computers in the cluster.
