Learn which engines you can use with Spotfire Statistics Services. Learn the engine limitations and considerations.

Engines

You can use either TERR or open-source R as the engine in both standalone and cluster installations. In a standalone or an individual cluster, you must have just one engine type. For more information about maintaining, updating, or deploying engines in the server, see Post-installation configuration and Change the engine type.

Note: If you have developers who plan to use the package RinR, which is provided with TERR, you must configure Spotfire Statistics Services to use the TERR engine, but you must also ensure that the open-source R engine is installed on the server (but not configured as the engine to use).
Note: Open-source R is available under separate open source software license terms and is not part of TERR. As such, open-source R is not within the scope of your license for TERR. Open-source R is not supported, maintained, or warranted in any way by TIBCO Software Inc. Download and use of open-source R is solely at your own discretion and subject to the free open source license terms applicable to open-source R.

SAS® and MATLAB® Engines

If you have a working SAS software or MATLAB installation you can use that software as the engine in both standalone and cluster installations of Spotfire Statistics Services. However, within each cluster, you can use only one engine type. For more information, see Configuring a SAS engine or Configuring a MATLAB engine.
