Description

Even though an analysis is cached in Scheduled Updates, if it contains On-Demand data tables, these will need to be validated when opening the report. Normally this does not cause any issues. A delay in network traffic can cause significant delays in how fast the analysis will open, even though it is cached.

Issue/Introduction

How to turn off validation of On-Demand data tables for each user.

Environment

Spotfire Web Player, versions 6.5.x and 7.0.x.

Resolution

Steps to turn off "Validate On-Demand For Each User".

1). Confirm that the Web Player has the appropriate hotfix, HF-011 or higher for 6.5.2 and HF-002 or higher for 7.0.0.

2). Open the Web Player configuration file - Web.config - in an editor.

NOTE: this file is located in the Web Players webroot directory, for example:
C:\Program Files\Tibco\Spotfire Web Player\7.0\webroot\Web.config

3). Find the following line:

<Spotfire.Dxp.Application.Properties.Settings>

4). Under this line, insert the following:

<setting name="ScheduledUpdates_ValidateOnDemandForEachUser" serializeAs="String">

<value>False</value>

</setting>

5). Save the configuration and restart IIS.
