TIBCO Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Custom configurations for managing space needs

If you need more space for library content, log files, information links, or the files that the Web Player service writes to the hard disk, you can change the default settings to store these items in different directories.

For information about the system requirements for Spotfire Server, see TIBCO Spotfire Server System Requirements.
