I am facing an issue with Spotfire installed on a Linux machine. When I open a Spotfire file, it loads into memory as expected. However, after closing the file, the memory is not freed, and the file remains loaded in memory.

What I Tried:

1. Configured spotfire.dxp.worker.web.config

   • I updated the following property:

     <sbdfCache enabled="true" cacheTimeoutMinutes="5">
     

   • I also tried setting cacheTimeoutMinutes to 30, but it did not resolve the issue.

2. Restarted the Spotfire Web Player Service from the Spotfire Admin UI

3. Checked Logs & Permissions

   • Verified that the configuration file is accessible and correctly formatted.
   • Checked logs, but didn’t find any clear error messages related to caching or memory release.

4. Comparison with Windows

   • The same configuration works on a Windows machine, where memory is released after closing the file.
   • This suggests a possible Linux-specific issue.

My Environment:

• Spotfire Version: 14.0.5
• Linux Distribution: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.5 (Plow)
• Deployment Type: Spotfire Web Player

Question:

How can I ensure that Spotfire releases memory properly after closing a file on Linux? Is there another setting or workaround specific to Linux?

Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated.
