Issue/Introduction

This article describes the meaning of the X(Y) values in the ‘Instances’ column in 'Monitoring & Diagnostics' > 'Instances' > 'Overview' tab for a TIBCO Spotfire Web Player

Resolution

The values in the 'Instances' column represent the number of open instances of the given analysis file. An analysis file may get loaded on multiple Web Player instances under a few circumstances:
  1. A file Rule is created for an analysis which has 'Number of instances' set to a value greater than 1, meaning the analysis file will get cached on multiple Web Player instances.User-added image or
  2. If the Web Player instance which already has the analysis opened is 'exhausted' then subsequent user requests for that same analysis file will get routed to a different 'non-strained' Web Player (instances which have a status of 'available' or if no 'available' instances are online then instances which have a status of"strained"). 
In these situations where an analysis file is loaded on multiple Web Player instances, then the 'Instances' column for one Web Player instance will show a value like '(7) 3' and if you select another Web Player instance it will shows as '(3) 7'. So for a given value like '(B) A':
  • A: The number of open instances of the analysis file on selected Web Player instance
  • (B): The number of open instances of the analysis file on other Web Player instances
