Preventing Spotfire Servers and node managers from starting automatically
When upgrading Spotfire Servers and node managers to the next version, you must prevent the old version of these components from starting automatically when Windows starts. Because the old and new versions use the same communication ports, starting both versions results in a port conflict.
About this task
These instructions apply to servers that are running as a Windows service.
Procedure
- Log in to the Spotfire Server or node manager computer as an administrator.
- Go to and then, in the Services dialog, locate and select the previous version of the service called TIBCO Spotfire Server or TIBCO Spotfire Node Manager.
- Right-click the service and then click Properties.
- In the center of the Properties dialog, next to Startup type, select Manual and then click OK.
