Configuring TIBCO Spotfire Server and Client

This section assumes that you have a running instance of Spotfire server. Ask the Spotfire administrator to create a username and password to allow access on the Spotfire server instance.

Spotfire User Permissions

Make sure that the Spotfire Administrator creates a user to be part of the Library Administrator group on the Spotfire server instance. Ensure that the Administrator grants the library administration permissions to this user. This allows the users to perform the following tasks:

  • Create library contents (such as data sources, information links).
  • Import and Export the library content.
  • Store the analysis files.

  1. Install TIBCO Spotfire Professional software. Refer to the product readme for the supported version.
  2. Launch the TIBCO Spotfire Professional.
  3. Connect to the appropriate TIBCO Spotfire server instance by providing the correct URL in the Server field.
  4. Download the software package updates from the server, if prompted.
  5. Verify you have successfully connected to the TIBCO Spotfire server instance for TIBCO API Exchange Gateway and updated your TIBCO Spotfire client to the version that is deployed on the TIBCO Spotfire server.
