Limit the number of tries of Scheduled Updates attempts to load an analysis file that fails. By default, Schedules Updates will try to load an analysis that fails to load continuously until it succeeds. To limit this retry, followin the steps below. 

For Version 7.0 and below
1). Open the Web Player installation directory]\webroot\Web.config in a text editor.
2). Locate the node with the name spotfire.dxp.web (<spotfire.dxp.web>).
3). In the spotfire.dxp.web node, locate the node setup (<setup>).
       In the setup node, locate the node scheduledUpdates (<scheduledUpdates).

    Add the node stopUpdatesAfterRepeatedFail="true" if it does not exist as follows:
    Example:
                  <spotfire.dxp.web>
                   ...
                  <setup>
                   ...
                  <scheduledUpdates enabled="false" useLibrary="true" libraryFileName="ScheduledUpdates" settingsFile="App_Data\ScheduledUpdates.xml" concurrentUpdates="2" updateIntervalSeconds="60">
       < forcedUpdate enabled="true" maximumRejectedUpdates="2" />
       <stopUpdatesAfterRepeatedFail enabled="true" failsBeforeStop="3" />
       <externalUpdate keepAliveMinutes="10">

4). Save the file.
5). Once you are done with the configurations, make sure to restart the Web Player (Application Pool) to ensure that the new settings take effect.
