How to set a Run Location of "Force Server" or "Force Local" when running a Data Function via API

This article explains how to set a Run Location of "Force Server" or "Force Local" when running a Spotfire Data Function via API. You can set this programmatically in the "DataFunctionDefinitionBuilder" by adding a key to the "DataFunctionDefinitionBuilder.Settings" property, using the key "forcelocalengine" or "forceserverengine" depending on which behavior you want to force.

The following example sets a Run Location of "Force Server":

==========
DataFunctionDefinitionBuilder dfdb = new DataFunctionDefinitionBuilder("My Data Function", DataFunctionExecutorTypeIdentifiers.TERRScriptExecutor);
// other data function parameters go here
dfdb.Settings.Add("forceserverengine", null);  
DataFunctionDefinition dfd = dfdb.Build();
==========


  The SDK also provides some examples:
