The command line offers more experienced administrators quick access to a wider variety of options than the configuration tool.
Before you begin
You must have administrative credentials for Spotfire Server.
Procedure
-
On the computer running
Spotfire Server, open a command line as an administrator and change the directory to the location of the
config.bat file (config.sh on Linux). The default location is
<server installation dir>/tomcat/spotfire-bin.
This is where you execute commands.
-
Export the active server configuration (the
configuration.xml file) by using the
export-config command.
Example:
config export-config --tool-password=mypassword
-
On the command line, enter
config (config.sh on Linux) followed by the command and any required parameters.
-
After you have finished running commands, upload the modified configuration back to the
Spotfire database by using the
import-config command. The configuration that you import becomes the active configuration for that server or cluster.
Example:
config import-config --tool-password=mypassword --comment=what was changed
-
Restart
Spotfire Server; for instructions, see
Start or stop Spotfire Server.
Note: Because the
configuration.xml file contains confidential information, you may want to restrict access to it.
