TIBCO Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Server bootstrapping and database connection pool configuration

The Spotfire database holds all user data and most of the configuration for the Spotfire system. To connect to the Spotfire database, Spotfire Server uses a database connection pool.

The bootstrap.xml file contains the information that the server needs to connect to the Spotfire database and retrieve the configuration; refer to The bootstrap.xml file. After the server has retrieved the configuration from the database, it re-initializes its database connection pool using information from both the bootstrap.xml file, which is present on each server, and any database configuration set for the entire cluster, which is stored as part of the database persisted server configuration.

For the common database configuration tasks, use the commands modify-db-config and set-db-config.
