Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition
Spotfire® Enterprise Runtime for R (a/k/a TERR™) provides Spotfire clients with the ability to execute R code, using Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R, on the TERR service node.
A Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition service (a/k/a, a TERR™ service) is required to execute data functions in Spotfire files from Spotfire Automation Services and Spotfire Web Player, because those services do not have TERR engines.
The TERR service itself is running the service as the same user account as is running the node manager on which the service runs. See Node Manager.
By default, scripts executed by the TERR service on behalf of its users are executed in a different execution context, as explained here.
