Stage the packages

Displayed here is a high-level picture of the processes of staging packages, including deploying them to a Spotfire Server package repository and, optionally, to a Spotfire Statistics Services package repository.

To stage and deploy a package in the Spotfire Server cluster and optionally the Spotfire Statistics Services cluster, follow the pictured workflow above. These steps describe the numbers in the image.

  1. Produce or download the R language package to use.
  2. Test the package using your local TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R engine. (Open the console from the Spotfire Analyst installation, from the Tools > TERR Tools menu.)
  3. Using the SpotfireSPK package in your local TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R engine, build the SPK. For more information, see the section Creating the Spotfire SPK.
  4. Hand off the SPK to your Spotfire Server administrator, who places it on the Spotfire Server.
  5. Using the Eclipse plugin TSSS Connector, upload the original R package to Spotfire Statistics Services. For more information, see the section Package updating tools for TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services.
