Installation

Prerequisites

In order to use the TIBCO OpenSpirit Extension for ArcGIS you must have the following applications installed on your Windows PC (running Windows 7, or Windows 10):

• ArcGIS Desktop (ArcView or ArcEdit license) version 10.6 or 10.7.
• OpenSpirit Runtime version 4.2.0 w/ Runtime HotFix 06 or OpenSpirit Runtime 4.3.0 Installation Steps

Installation Steps

The TIBCO OpenSpirit Extension for ArcGIS is delivered as an ArcGIS Desktop Add-In.

1. Download the OpenSpirit.ArcMapExtension.UI.esriAddIn file to a convenient location on your PC.
   
2. Make sure the file is not blocked by right clicking on the .esriAddin file and selecting the Unblock option if it is present.
   
   
   
   
3. Install the Extension by double-clicking on the esriAddin file. This will display the ESRI Add-In Utility:
   
   
   
   
   Then click on "Install Add-In".
   
   Your company may choose to install add-ins from a shared network drive, in which case you may just put the OpenSpirit Add-In in this directory and ArcGIS will discover it the next time it is run.
   
   
4. Create a Windows firewall exemption rule for the ArcMap executable to enable the OpenSpirit extension to receive events.
   
   Open a Windows command window or a power shell window with administrator privilege and execute the command:
   
   netsh.exe firewall add allowedprogram program="C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\<version>\bin\ArcMap.exe" name="ArcMap" mode=ENABLE scope=ALL profile=ALL
   
   where <version> is the version of ArcGIS Desktop you have installed.
   
   For example, if running with ArcGIS Desktop 10.5 installed in the default location::
   
   netsh.exe firewall add allowedprogram program="C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.5\bin\ArcMap.exe" name="ArcMap" mode=ENABLE scope=ALL profile=ALL
   
   
5. Launch ArcGIS Desktop
   
   
6. If the OpenSpirit toolbar is not visible make sure it is enabled for display by navigating to the Customize-> Extensions menu item and make sure the toolbar is enabled for display. It should look like this:

Check your ArcGIS Add-In Manager options if the OpenSpirit toolbar does not appear in the list of extensions. ArcGIS will not load the OpenSpirit Extension if the Load only ESRI provided Add-Ins option is selected on the Add-In Manager's Options tab. Use the Require Add-Ins to be digitally signed by a trusted publisher option or the Load all Add-Ins without restrictions option. ArcMap must be restarted for the OpenSpirit Extension to appear in the extension list after changing the setting.

5.  The OpenSpirit toolbar should appear as a dockable toolbar like this:

In order to dock it simply drag it by it's light blue header and deposit it on the arrow icon indicating where you want the toolbar docked:
