Reverting to the previous routing behavior

In Spotfire 14.0 and later, there is a single queue for all Web Player service instances on the Spotfire Server, and each scheduled update job is only assigned to a Web Player instance when a slot is available in that instance. This means that once a job is assigned to an instance it will begin to be served immediately. In versions prior to 14.0, each Web Player service instance had a separate queue for the initial loading of analysis files, and the queue was assigned when the job arrived. It is possible to revert to the previous behavior by editing the Spotfire Server configuration file.

Procedure

On the server computer, export and open the configuration.xml file. For detailed instructions on working with this file, see Manually editing the Spotfire Server configuration file.

In the configuration.xml file, locate the following section:

<compatibility>
  ...
      <assign-destination-before-queuing>false</assign-destination-before-queuing>
  ...
 </compatibility>

To revert to the previous behavior, change the value to "true".
Save and close the file.
Import the file back to the Spotfire database.
Restart the server.
