Preparation
Prepare to install Spotfire Server by downloading the required software from the TIBCO eDelivery and Support websites, recording the required system properties, and setting up the Spotfire database on your database server.
Note: Make sure that your system fulfills the requirements listed on the
TIBCO Spotfire Server System Requirements page.
Note: If you are upgrading, first read
Upgrading Spotfire.
- Downloading installation software
The first step in installing or updating Spotfire Server is to download the required software to the computer that will run the server. - Downloading hotfixes
As of Spotfire Server version 10.3.0, server hotfixes can be applied only on the specific service pack version that they were created for. Example: If you currently have version 10.3.1, you can only apply server hotfixes for the 10.3.1 version, such as 10.3.1 HF-001, 10.3.1 HF-002, and so on. If you want a hotfix of a different service pack level, such as 10.3.2 HF-001, you must first make sure to upgrade your Spotfire components to that service pack (10.3.2) before applying the hotfix. - Collecting required information
To set up the Spotfire database, and install and configure Spotfire Server, you must have certain information about the IT system at your site and how you want Spotfire Server to interact with the existing system. - Spotfire database setup
The database must be prepared for Spotfire before the server installer is run. The Spotfire environment supports a couple of different database systems.
