Manually editing the Spotfire Server configuration file

Before editing the Spotfire Server configuration file you must export its contents to an XML file.

Procedure

  1. On the computer running Spotfire Server, open a command line as an administrator and change the directory to the location of the config.bat file (config.sh on Linux). The default location is <installation dir>/tomcat/bin.
  2. Export the active configuration to a configuration.xml file by using the export-config command.
    The configuration.xml file appears in your working directory.
  3. Open configuration.xml in an XML editor or a text editor and make your changes.
  4. When you've finished, save and close the file.
  5. Upload the edited configuration file back to the Spotfire database by using the import-config command.
  6. Restart the Spotfire Server service; for instructions, see Start or stop Spotfire Server.

Result

The imported configuration becomes the active configuration for that server or cluster.
