Spotfire
web clients, or in
Spotfire Automation Services,
some configuration on the
Spotfire Server
is necessary.
About this task
This is a suggested
workflow; detailed descriptions for each step are available in separate topics.
Procedure
- Optional:
Create a configuration that the service will use, and assign it to
the deployment area that the Web Player or Automation Services use. For
instructions, see
Preconfiguring Spotfire Web Player services (optional) or
Preconfiguring Spotfire Automation Services (optional), depending on the type of service that you are
configuring.
Note: If you have to
configure the authentication mode for any of the deployed connectors, this step
is required. See
Authentication modes for more information.
-
Install a service and make sure to select the same deployment area
as in step 1. For detailed instructions on installation of services, see
Installing Spotfire Web Player instances or
Installing Spotfire Automation Services instances, depending on the type of service you are
configuring.
Note: If you created a
configuration in step 1, select that configuration when you install the
service.
-
After the service has been installed successfully, test that it is
now possible to work with data from the connectors.
Create an analysis in
Spotfire Analyst,
and configure connections with the connectors that should be available in the
web clients. Then save the analysis to the library. Verify that you can
successfully open the analysis in a web client.
Create a
Spotfire Automation Services
job with tasks that use the connectors that should be available for
Spotfire Automation Services.
Verify that you can run the job successfully.
