There will be no further new versions of Spotfire® Statistics
Services server and it will eventually be removed. The latest LTS version,
version 12.0, continues to receive bug fixes or security patches until End of
Support is announced (expected about 2 years after release, around September of
2024).
The license for Spotfire® Statistics Services covers the use of any
combination of the following products.
This guide is provided to help you migrate from the Spotfire Statistics
Services server to the Spotfire Statistics Services, listed below. These
services provide the capability to run Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R (a/k/a
TERR™) (formerly TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R) or R data functions and
scripts on a Spotfire Server node, rather than on the Spotfire Statistics
Services server.
Additionally, your license for the Spotfire Statistics Services provides
access to the
Spotfire Service for Python; a service
that runs Python data functions on a Spotfire Server node.
Note: The system requirements for the discontinued Spotfire Statistics
Services server are different from the system requirements of the Spotfire
Statistics Services that you must configure to run your data functions. Review
the
system
requirements for the service corresponding to your data function
language (R or TERR).
If your users' data functions or custom expressions have been created
using R or TERR, and you have installed, deployed, and configured the Spotfire
Statistics Service on a node for Spotfire Server, then the data functions are
run using the related service, even if you have Spotfire Statistics Services
server installed, and even if client users' configurations specify a URL for
Spotfire Statistics Services server. As long as the Spotfire Statistics Service
is installed and configured correctly, and can be found by the data functions,
then that service is used.
Note: If you are using data functions with MATLAB or SAS in the 12.0.x
long-term support (LTS) version of Spotfire Statistics Services, then your
license includes continued use of the Spotfire Statistics Services server, with
either Spotfire 12 (LTS version) or Spotfire 14 (LTS version), as long as
Spotfire Statistics Services server 12.0.x (LTS version) is in support. Support
for Spotfire Statistics Services 12.0.x LTS version is expected to end about 2
years after release—around September of 2024—and after that time, no updates or
security fixes will be provided. See
Overview of Spotfire Releases - Innovation and LTS (Long-Term
Support). At this time, statistics services specifically designed for
use with MATLAB or SAS are not available. You can vote for statistics services
for these two engines in the Ideas portal:
