Upgrading Spotfire
Follow these steps to upgrade your Spotfire environment to the new version of Spotfire.
About this task
Important: 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 to that service pack (10.3.2) before applying the hotfix.
Client hotfixes have not changed.
Before you begin
- Before upgrading, create a working backup of your Spotfire database.
- Download the required software from the TIBCO eDelivery website and the TIBCO Support website; for details, see Downloading installation software and Downloading hotfixes.
Important: Spotfire 10.3 introduced the
Data Function Trust security feature. This means that, if you are upgrading
from an earlier version than 10.3, you must take additional steps during the
upgrade for data functions to continue working as expected. Read about the
steps you have to take in this Community article:

and later. Also, other important changes were made in Spotfire 10.3.
