How to create a weekly Scheduled Updates file rule which refreshes the analysis file only once a week


Solution:

This article describes how to configure a Scheduling & Routing Rule in TIBCO Spotfire, so that the analysis will stay in the Scheduled Updates cache all week and will only refresh once per week at the given interval. 

To refresh a dashboard only once per week (for example, remain in cache all week and update on Friday 10 AM), we need to create 2 schedules (one daily and one weekly) and 1 rule as described here:

1. Create a daily schedule - To maintain the analysis in cache all 7 days of the week for all 24 hours:

When creating the rule, select your file and select "Use saved schedule" and then, in the "Select schedule" dialog and select the schedules set up in Steps 1 and 2 above (along with any other desired rule settings). See "Creating a scheduled update by using Spotfire server" in the References for detailed instructions.
