Overview
Spotfire® Automation Services is a web service for automatically executing multi-step jobs within your Spotfire® environment. You can, for example, use Spotfire® Automation Services to deliver an analysis file to specific people, in a particular format, at specified times.
The Automation Services feature includes the following components:
- The Spotfire Automation Services Job Builder, which comes with a set of pre-defined tasks for immediate job creation. The Job Builder is accessed from Spotfire® Analyst. No installation is required, but all users must belong to the group Automation Services Users, and have the Automation Services Job Builder Tool license enabled.
- An API for developing custom tasks for the Job Builder.
- The Automation Services area of the Spotfire Server web administration interface for scheduling and executing jobs. For more information, see "Automation Services job scheduling" in the Spotfire Server help.
- The Client Job Sender
command-line tool for executing jobs. To install this tool, you download and
extract the
Spotfire Automation Services
files from the TIBCO eDelivery website, and copy the files to a computer in
your
Spotfire
implementation. For details, see
Installing the Client
Job Sender.
Note: When using the Client Job Sender, you can set the execution schedule by using Windows Task Scheduler.
