Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Enabling geocoding tables for map charts

To display data on a Spotfire map, the data must be "geocoded". This involves matching the data to location identifiers in a set of data tables that are known as a geocoding hierarchy. These geocoding tables must be imported into the library before they can be used.

Before you begin

Spotfire Analyst is installed.

Procedure

  1. Copy the file <Spotfire Server installation kit>/geoanalytics/geoanalytics.part0.zip to the library folder that is used for importing and exporting files. (By default, this is <server installation directory>/tomcat/application-data/library.)
  2. Log in to Spotfire Analyst as a Spotfire Administrator or Library Administrator.
  3. Click Tools > Library Administration.
  4. Click Import and then browse to and select the file geoanalytics.part0.zip.
  5. Click OK twice, and then in the Select Destination Folder dialog, either select an existing folder or create a new one (for example, you can create a "GeoAnalytics" folder).
  6. Click OK, wait for the dialog to display the words "Import done", and then click Close.
