Initial configuration
It is recommended that Spotfire administrators configure a successful basic installation of Spotfire Server before configuring more advanced implementations.
Note: Multiple configurations can be stored in the
Spotfire database, but only one can be active.
- Configuration using the configuration tool
The Spotfire Server configuration tool provides a clear path to a basic installation, and offers the most frequently used configuration options. - Configuration using the command line
Executing commands on the command line provides greater flexibility and access to options that are not available in the configuration tool. Most administrators use the configuration tool. - Scripting a configuration
For more experienced administrators, Spotfire Server includes two prepared configuration scripts that you can use to set up simple configurations. You can also create and run your own scripts. - Manual configuration
Certain configuration properties in the Spotfire system are rarely used and cannot be set using commands. To use these properties you manually edit the server configuration. You may also want to work directly in the configuration to configure features that require complex commands, such as enabling several authentication options.
