Spotfire Server and Environment - Quick Start

Deploying client packages to Spotfire Server

To install and use the the installed Spotfire client, Automation Services and Spotfire web clients, you must first deploy the Spotfire.Dxp.sdn (which includes files for the installed client and Windows web clients & Automation Services) and, optionally, the Spotfire.Dxp.netcore-linux.sdn (which includes support for Linux web clients & Automation Services) distribution file to the server. The client packages are also required for licenses to be shown in the administration interface.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. On the System Status page of the configuration tool, at the bottom of the list, click Deploy client packages.
  2. In the Deploy Client Packages dialog, click Browse, and locate the previously downloaded file or files that are suitable for your system (deploy both files if you have node managers on both Windows and Linux hosts, and you want to support updates to the installed Spotfire client):
    • For node managers running on Windows, and to support updates of the installed Spotfire client, click Spotfire.Dxp.sdn.
    • For node managers running on Linux, click Spotfire.Dxp.netcore-linux.sdn.
    Note: If you want web client users to be able to run built-in data functions you must have the Spotfire Service for Python installed in your environment. See also the system requirements for the Spotfire application in a web browser.
    Note: Because some of the calculations can take some time to finish, you might also need to adjust the engine timeout settings for the service.
  3. Click Open to add the selected file.
  4. In the Deploy Client Packages dialog, click Deploy.
    Note: To run Web Player or Automation Services on Linux, there are additional prerequisites that must be fulfilled. See Running Web Player or Automation Services on Linux for more information.
