Building a Spotfire Package (SPK) for Python Packages from a Docker Image on Windows
You can build a Spotfire package (SPK) using a Docker image on Windows, and then place the SPK on a Spotfire Server running on Linux.
About this task
Before you begin
Before you begin, complete the following tasks.
- Locate and download Spotfire® Statistics Services for your operating system on the product download site edelivery.tibco.com (license and account required). The product Spotfire® Statistics Services includes the Spotfire Service for Python.
- In the Spotfire Statistics Services download bundle, find the component Spotfire Service for Python.
- Extract the contents of the Spotfire Service for Python installation archive.
Procedure
What to do next
Add the SPK to the Spotfire Server Deployment area, and then validate and save the area. See Adding Software Packages to a Deployment Area and Updating Services in the Spotfire® Server Installation and Administration guide for more information. If you have specified the --analyst flag in the arguments to the spotfire.spk module, then the next time the Spotfire Analyst users connect to the Spotfire Server, they are prompted to update their installations with the new packages. Business authors and consumers connecting to Spotfire from a web browser can use analyses with data functions that use the functions in the packages.
