Spotfire Performance Counters: Sharable master documents compared to Cached documents

Details:

The following online article lists performance counters of the Web Player service that Spotfire records during system usage:  Web Player service performance counters
You might notice that after a service start or restart or at some point in time, values for the following counters are the same. Then the values start to deviate:
1. Web Player cached documents
2. Web Player number of sharable master documents

What is the difference between these counters? What do they indicate and why do their values eventually deviate over time?

Answer:
-When users browse the Spotfire Library and open a dxp file, the "# of cached documents" counter is increased.
-When a dxp file is opened by Scheduled Updates, the "# of sharable master documents" counter is increased.

Content of the above online article states these definitions:  "The number of cached analyses", and "The number of loaded documents (analyses) that can be shared between users", respectively. Hopefully the above "Answer" is more helpful to you.
