Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Configuring external library storage in Google Cloud Storage

You can configure external library storage in the cloud using Google Cloud Storage.

About this task

Before you begin

  • You must have administrative credentials for Spotfire Server.
  • You must have a Google Cloud Storage account.

Procedure

  1. Back up the database.
  2. On the command line, export the library using the export-library-content command. (For details on using the Spotfire command line, see Executing commands on the command line.)
  3. Remove the content from the library.
    Note: Do not use the truncate command in the database because there are hidden folders that should not be removed.
  4. To enable external storage and select the type of external storage, use the command config-library-external-data-storage.
  5. To configure Google Cloud Storage, use the command config-library-external-google-cloud-storage.
  6. Import the library using the import-library-content command.
    Note: The external library storage system uses the Spotfire library data IDs to identify files.

    For information on monitoring the external system, see Monitoring external library storage and fixing inconsistencies.
