After installing and authorizing a node manager, you can install
the
Spotfire Service for Python.
Before you begin
- You have installed and
authorized a node manager. See the topics
Node manager installation and
Trusting a node in the
Spotfire® Server Installation and Administration user
guide.
- The Spotfire Server and
the node manager are up and running.
- You have deployed the
operating-system-specific SDN for the
Spotfire Service for Python into a deployment area of your Spotfire
Server. For information about deploying the SDN, see the topic
Adding software packages to a deployment
area in the
Spotfire® Server Installation and Administration user
guide.
Important:
- You can install the
Spotfire Service for Python on a node manager running on a
computer with an operating system (OS) that is different from that of your
Spotfire Server.
- All services
belonging to the same Spotfire deployment area must run on node managers with
the same OS.
- Optional: You have created
and imported a custom configuration for the
Spotfire Service for Python.
Procedure
-
Log in to the Spotfire Server and click
Nodes & Services.
-
Under
Node managers, select the node to which you
want to add the
Spotfire Service for Python.
A running service shows a green circle with a check mark next to
the selected node manager.
In the
Services area, the names of the current
services are shown in the lower-right pane of the window.
-
Click
Create new service.
-
Make your selections in the
Create new service dialog:
-
Under
Deployment area, select the area where you
deployed the
Spotfire Service for Python.
Note: Administrators often create a
Test deployment area to use as a staging server.
-
Under
Capability, select
PYTHON.
-
Under
Configuration, select the service
configuration to apply to the service.
Note: In most
cases, this is the default configuration, unless you have created a custom
configuration. See the
Spotfire® Server Installation and Administration
user guide for more information on creating a custom configuration.
-
Under
Service name, provide a display name for
the service.
-
Under
Add instances, specify the number of
instances.
-
Under
Instances name, provide a name for the
instances.
-
Under
Number of instances, leave the option set
to
1.
The
Spotfire Service for Python can have only one instance per
node. If you set it to a value other than
1, the service does not work as expected.
One
Spotfire Service for Python instance can serve multiple users
simultaneously. See the
Custom
configuration properties for more information.
-
Under
Port, you can change the default as
needed.
-
Click
Create service.
To view the progress of the installation, click the
Activity tab.
Results
The service is
installed and starts.
Note: If you experience errors, click
View logs for more information.
