Uploading a Package Using TSSS Connector
To upload a package to Spotfire Statistics Services, if you have server administrative privileges and an Eclipse installation, you can establish a connection to Spotfire Statistics Services and upload TERR or R packages using the TSSS Connector.
Before you begin
- Built the package archive
or downloaded a compatible package from a trusted web site or a package
repository, such as CRAN or an in-house repository.
Note: Binary (built) packages are required. Source packages must be built before they can be uploaded to Spotfire Statistics Services.
Spotfire Statistics Services accepts .zip archives (Microsoft Windows servers only) or tar.gz archives (Linux servers only).
- Installed the Eclipse
integrated development environment.
Note: We tested versions 3.6 to 4.2.2 (Juno) of Eclipse for the remote submission tools.
- Downloaded the TSSS
Connector Eclipse plug-in from the update page on
Spotfire Statistics Services.
For detailed information about updating or installing this plugin, browse to the landing page for the Spotfire Statistics Services installation available to you, and then see the update page.
http://SName:P#/SC/update
SName is the server name, P# is the port number, and SC is the server context (for example, http://CoTSSS:8080/TERRServer/update).
