Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Creating schedules

You can create and save schedules that you plan to reuse in scheduled updates to analyses. If a schedule will only be used once, you can set it when you create the update rule.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Spotfire Server web administration pages and click Scheduling & Routing.
  2. Under Scheduling & Routing in the navigation panel to the left, click Saved schedules.
  3. On the Saved schedules page, click Create new schedule.
  4. In the Create new schedule dialog, enter a name for the schedule.
  5. Under Repeat on these days, indicate the days on which you want the update to run by selecting the appropriate check boxes.
  6. Under Start loading file and Unload file, enter the times between which the updated analysis should be available to end users (on the days that you indicated in the previous step).
  7. Under Time zone, select the time zone for the times that you entered in the previous step.
  8. Under Update with new data every, select how often you want Spotfire Server to check whether the analysis file or its underlying data has changed. If the analysis or data has changed, the server updates the preloaded file.
    Note: Analyses are always updated and loaded at the beginning of each scheduled start time, in addition to the reloads that are set in the Update with new data every field. If the rule is created (and run the first time) at 11:52, with a reload interval of 15 minutes, the following updates with new data will be done at 12:00, 12:15, 12:30, 12:45, 13:00.
  9. Click Save.

Results

The new schedule is displayed in the Saved schedules list.
