Description
In certain situations, it may be required to route a certain set of analyses to specific TIBCO Spotfire Web Player services under a given Node Manager without allowing any other analyses to be routed on that Node Manager. For example, a few analyses may be critical for the business with complex data operations in it, which may require large amounts of resources in terms of RAM and CPU. Due to such analyses, there are more chances of having performance issues and which might negatively impact other working analyses. So to avoid any issues, it may be better to have a dedicated Node Manager for such expensive or important analyses where no other analyses will be allowed to route.
Issue/Introduction
This article describes steps to route specific set of analyses to dedicated Node Manager without allowing any other reports to be routed on those.
Resolution
In order to open a certain set of analyses on a dedicated Node Manager only without allowing any other analysis to be routed to that Node Manager, here is what needs to be done:
1) Create a new Resource pool that will be used for routing those identified set of analyses to the dedicated Node Manager and make sure it is assigned to only the TIBCO Spotfire Web Player instances from that Node Manager. See "Creating resource pools" reference for more details.
2) Create a Rule for the identified analyses by assigning it to the Resource pool created in Step 1. See "Creating routing rule" reference for more details.
To create a Rule:
- Login to Spotfire server console page using Administrator account.
- Go to Scheduling & Routing page.
- Under ‘Rules’ , click on the button ‘Create rule’ to create a new rule.
- Select the analysis name that is to be routed and the name of the resource pool created in Step 1 above.
Note: If there are multiple analyses which need to be routed to the dedicated Node Manager, then a separate rule for each report needs to be created.
3) Modify the Default routing rule to use other existing Resource pool(s), and not the new resource pool created in Step 1 above, so that any report using the Default routing rule will not be redirected to those TIBCO Spotfire Web Player Instances/TIBCO Spotfire Node Manager which have been created for the dedicated analyses.
To create a Rule:
- Login to Spotfire server console page using Administrator account.
- Go to Scheduling & Routing page.
- Under ‘Rules’ , click on the button ‘Edit’ button on the right of the 'Default routing Rule'
- Ensure the dedicated resource pool is not selected, and click Save.
Note: If there aren’t any other existing resource pool(s) besides the one which was created in Step 1 above, then create at least one additional resource pool that can be selected in this step.
