Setting up the Spotfire database (PostgreSQL)
If you plan to use a PostgreSQL server for storing the Spotfire database, follow these steps before running the Spotfire Server installer.
About this task
PostgreSQL can be deployed on a variety of systems. Default settings when installing PostgreSQL are generally suited for a smaller system. It is recommended to tune the settings to match the anticipated load, before using PostgreSQL for the Spotfire database. For instance, shared_buffers can have a large impact on performance.
Before you begin
- You have downloaded and unzipped the Spotfire Server installation kit from the TIBCO eDelivery web site. For instructions, see Downloading installation software.
- The following settings
must be configured on the PostgreSQL server:
- TCP/IP communication listening on a port (the default is 5432).
- The command line database tool (psql) must be installed.
