When using the automated export library project feature, there may be a problem of randomly missing folders.

[Mark123]

Hello,every one

    Now,I need to export all items in the library regularly for backup.
    I tried to create a series of tasks through the automated job tool in the TIBCO Spotfire Analyst client to export all the contents of the Spotfire library (all folders in the root directory).
    After successful creation, I saved these tasks to the library and set automatic refresh rules.
    However, upon observation, it was found that there may be missing folders during the automatic execution of these tasks, and not every folder will be exported. And every time the task refreshes, the missing folder names and quantities are random.

    I'm confused about this issue, and welcome any suggestion.

Hi Mark,

Sorry for the late response.

Can you tell us how your automation job looks like?

Kind regards,

David

another way of performing automated Library backups is to use your database vendor's tools to back up the entire Spotfire application database.

of course it depends on your specific use case, and the suggestion doesn't solve the original issue, but it may be considered as an alternative.
