Description

This article describes how to change the error reporting email address where emails will be sent if a user chooses to report an issue to the administrator. 

Issue/Introduction

This article describes what is the setting that is used to change the error reporting email address in web.config file

Resolution

For 7.5 and higher, we set the email address in "Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Web.config" file. Do the following on the TIBCO Spotfire Server computer:

1. Export and open the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Web.config file for editing by using export-service-command
2. In Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Web.config, locate the following section and set "spotfireadmin@example.com" for emailAddress  :
<errorReporting 
        emailAddress="spotfireadmin@example.com" maxMailLength="1000"
        includeDetailedErrorInformation="false"
        enabledMiniDumpCreationOnError="true"
        miniDumpPath=""
        miniDumpSizeLarge="false"
        dumpToolPath ="C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64\cdb.exe"
        dumpToolFlagsSmall="-c &quot;.dump /mhtpFidcu {0};q&quot; -p {1}"
        dumpToolFlagsLarge="-c &quot;.dump /ma {0};q&quot; -p {1}"/>
        
3. Save the file and then import it back to the server by using the import-service-config command.
4. Assign the updated configuration to the services by using the set-service-config command


For 7.0 and lower, we can set the email address in Web Player's config file. The location of the web.config file is by default: C:\Program Files\TIBCO\Spotfire Web Player\7.0.0\webroot\Web.config.

Below is the setting in web.config file that is used to change the email address:
<errorReporting emailAddress="spotfireadmin@example.com" maxMailLength="1000" automaticallyShutDownAfterStartupFailureAfterMinutes="5" />
