Description:
The Force Update option in the client package deployment save dialog box forces clients to download and install the newly deployed packages while connecting to a server. This document describes the instructions to find out if Force Update is enabled for a client package deployed on a deployment area on a Spotfire Server.
Resolution
1). Run the following SQL query on the Spotfire Database to find the AREA ID of the deployment area on which the new packages were deployed.
SELECT AREA_ID
FROM DEP_AREAS_DEF
WHERE DEP_AREA_NAME='<Replace me with actual Area Name>'
Replace <> with the Area Name on which new packages were deployed. e.g Production, Test, etc.
2). Go to the Spotfire Server machine and browse the following folder/directory.
<Server Installation folder>\tomcat\temp\deployments\<Replace me with AREA ID>\Contents\
Replace <> with actual AREA ID returned in above SQL query.
3). Open the manifest.xml file presented in this location and search for the following section (tag):
<forceUpdate>true</forceUpdate>
OR
<forceUpdate>false</forceUpdate>
4). The value TRUE means the Force Update has been enabled in that deployment area and FALSE means its not enabled.
