Installation of Spotfire Server during upgrade
When you install Spotfire Server, the upgrade tool is installed as well.
Before installing the new version of
Spotfire Server, note the following:
- Configure the new server to use the same ports as the previous installation. This will not cause a port conflict if you have followed steps 1 and 2 in Upgrading Spotfire.
- Do not start or configure the newly installed server before running the upgrade tool.
- If you intend to copy information from the old version, do not uninstall it until the new version of Spotfire Server is in place.
- Some Spotfire releases are designated long-term support (LTS) versions; for information about how LTS versions differ from mainstream (non-LTS) versions, see https://docs.tibco.com/pub/spotfire/general/LTS/spotfire_LTS_releases.htm.
For general instructions on how to install Spotfire Server, see Installation.
- 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.
