TIBCO® Enterprise Runtime for R

Functions Not Available in TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R

With each release, TIBCO® Enterprise Runtime for R (TERR™) strives for compatibility with open-source R. In version 6.0, we tested functionality against open-source R version 4.0. At this time, the functions and methods listed in this document are available in open-source R, but are not currently available in TERR™.

The functions are listed alphabetically, according to their packages. The statistics package is further categorized by types of functions.

This table provides information about the numbers of functions implemented in open-source R that are also available in TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R.
Package Open-source R functions TERR functions Percent of open-source R functions implemented in TERR (%)
base 1359 1201 88.4
datasets 104 104 100
graphics* 88 86 97.7
grDevices* 113 104 92
methods 371 103 27.8
stats 456 394 86.4
utils 219 140 63.9

*Because TERR is included with TIBCO Spotfire®, most of the functions related to directly producing graphics are not supported; however, TERR contains placeholders for many graphics functions for package compatibility purposes.

Note: If you want to use the graphics functions available in R, you can use the RGraph function in the RinR package to generate graphics by passing an expression to open-source R and evaluating it there. You can also use a number of packages that use Javascript and htmlwidgets to create browser-based graphics. For more information, see Graphics in TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R.
Note: You can reach these documents from the TERR Landing Page. From the TERR console, type help.start(), and then click the link on the page.
