Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Disallowing cached and precomputed data in individual scheduled update files

If your Spotfire environment is configured to use disk caching and precomputations of data to shorten the time it takes for an updated analysis to reopen in a Spotfire Web Player after the analysis is closed, this setting might prevent the latest data from being shown in the reopened analysis. You can switch this setting off for individual scheduled update files, when you know it is important to always see fresh data.

About this task

Note: By default, cached and precomputed data is not enabled. To enable this feature, see Enabling cached and precomputed data for scheduled update files.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Spotfire Server web administration pages and click Scheduling & Routing.
  2. On the Rules page, double-click the rule of interest to go to the page for the rule.
    Tip: You can perform this action directly when creating the rule.
  3. At the bottom of the page for the rule, expand the Advanced section.
  4. Under Caching, clear the check boxes of the settings you want to turn off.
  5. Click Save.

Results

The analysis will always reflect the latest data but it might take a longer time to reopen.
