SF.setBusy(false) not working for my javascript, unable to use the export to PDF which just hangs

[sihem merah]

Dear all,

I have a problem with my Spotfire file as attached where I am doing some Javascript on rendering listbox filters in a text area.

I am not able to use the export to PDF Functionality, which endlessly has that turning wheel.

I have tried to use SF.setBusy(false) in my js code, but it's not doing anything.

Anyone has used that before? Where do you add that line of code exactly?

Thanks!

Sihem

Hello Sihem,

You would first set

SF.setBusy(true);

to prevent it from rendering the pdf, and then use

SF.setBusy(false)

to allow it to continue with the render.

This is e.g. mentioned in the JavaScript Example Script page in the manual:

https://docs.tibco.com/pub/sfire-analyst/latest/doc/html/en-US/TIB_sfire-analyst_UsersGuide/text/text_javascript_example_scripts.htm

Another example of it being used:
