Creating a wait task in Spotfire Automation Job Builder to get all the data loaded in report via data function before the PDF export

[Ritu Goelr]

Hi,

Can you please let me know if there is way to put analysis on sleep for some time in order to get all the data loaded in template via data function.

We have an analysis which is populating data via data function, this report needs to be exported to PDF but the automation services are not waiting for the data to get loaded and generating blank pdf's.

 

Any help would be highly appreciated.

You can try to increase the default maxWaitTimeForTaskBackgroundJobToFinishSeconds property and see if it helps in your scenario. This setting is in the automation.config file which needs to be exported and then imported for automation services.

Hi Khushboo,

 

Thanks for the reply, the issue is not because of the time required for background job. It is due to the fact that the automation services are not waiting to get the data function completion and immediately starting next task

Hi Ritu,

 

Try adding a export data table to library/export data to file before generating pdf. In export from option select data table.

Hello Ritu,

If you are using TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R, you can use the following script to add a sleep for some time.

=====

Sys.sleep()
