Applying hotfixes to the Spotfire environment

Fixes to important issues are generally included in the Spotfire Server service releases. However, there might also be hotfixes available for the latest release.

About this task

Note: 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 Spotfire 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.

For general hotfix information and links to specific information about each hotfix, see Overview of hotfixes for TIBCO Spotfire in the TIBCO Community.
