Packages running in a local TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R engine in Spotfire

Spotfire Running functions locally requires making the TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R engine available under

To run the functions in a package using the TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R engine that is installed with Spotfire, you must have the appropriate license enabled by your Spotfire administrator.

Remember that other people in your organization might be running analyses that depend on data functions stored in the library and that take advantage of the version of the package you are using.

In Spotfire , these scenarios are possible because it includes an embedded TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R engine. With enough resources, you can efficiently test and run analyses using data functions locally.

Note: Although the package is in your Spotfire installation, it is not loaded into the engine. To use the package, you must load the library as part of your data function script or include it in the Packages field of your data function.
