With Information Services, you can connect to and load data from virtually any JDBC-compliant data source. Data can be imported for in-memory analysis in Spotfire.
Information Services is a server-side method for loading data, which means that JDBC drivers and JDBC data source templates that are required to connect to your data source must be installed and configured on your Spotfire Server.
Once these preparations are set up on the Spotfire Server, you use the Information Designer tool in your Spotfire Analyst client to create information links for loading data from your JDBC compliant external data source.
Note: Because Information Services runs on Spotfire Server, this method for loading data is not available if you are running TIBCO™ Cloud® Spotfire or TIBCO Spotfire® Desktop.
