Description

TIBCO Spotfire Automation Services 7.5 and later has "Activity" tab under 'Scheduling & Routing'.
When we try to search history records of scheduled updates using dates (from and to field) it does not show the details between the interval correctly. This is because Spotfire Server automatically purges the Scheduled update history records once a week (7 days). 7 days is the default setting.
This purge interval can be customized by editing the configuration.xml file.

Issue/Introduction

TIBCO Spotfire Automation Services 7.5 and later, Activity tab under 'Scheduling & Routing' does not show past history of Scheduled Update correctly.

Environment

TIBCO Spotfire Automation Services 7.5 and later, on all supported operating systems

Resolution

- Export latest Spotfire server configuration either by using configuration tool or by using command line.
Refer below link to know how to manually edit the Spotfire Server configuration file:

- Open the exported configuration file in text editor.
- If this is a new Spotfire Server >=7.5 configuration file, change the number "7"  in the following section as per your requirement
==========
<scheduled-updates>
  <!-- All scheduled updates details older than the specified number of days will be automatically deleted.
  Default: one week, value must be strictly positive.-->
  <purge-history-older-than>7</purge-history-older-than>
</scheduled-updates>
===========

- If you are modifying an existing configuration file from a previous version of Spotfire Server, add the entire <scheduled-updates> section to the file and then change the number of days between history purges.
- Once the change is done, save this configuration file.
- Import this file back to Spotfire server either by using configuration tool or by using command line.
- Once the import is done, restart Spotfire server service.
