Spotfire Ideas Portal
We would like to be able to reboot a particular web player without inconveniencing users. Currently we can't stop users being directed to a specific webplayer so we need to inform all users that the system might be down briefly. If we could stop new sessions from starting on a particular web player we could monitor it and see when there are no active sessions, any new sessions would start on alternative webplayers. At that point we could restart that server and no users would lose any work.

Hi Alastair,
It is possible to "schedule" a Spotfire service shutdown. Using that "scheduled" shutdown you can enter the number of hours and minutes before shutting it down.
Before the shutdown, any users on that service instance are notified that the instance will be shutting down; this gives them time to save their work. The instance is then shut down when the user or users close the analysis, or at the scheduled time, whichever is earlier. If no one is using the instance, the instance is shut down immediately.
For more information, see Shutting down a service instance.
