Deploying client packages to Spotfire Server

To install and use the Spotfire Analyst client, Automation Services and Spotfire web clients, you must first deploy the Spotfire.Dxp.sdn (which includes files for the Analyst 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

A Spotfire Server administrator has been created. For instructions, see Creating an administrator user.
You have downloaded the deployment kit containing the Spotfire.Dxp.sdn and Spotfire.Dxp.netcore-linux.sdn files from the TIBCO eDelivery site. For details, see Downloading installation software.

Procedure

On the System Status page of the configuration tool, at the bottom of the list, click Deploy client packages.
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 Analyst client):
- For node managers running on Windows, and to support updates of the Analyst client, click Spotfire.Dxp.sdn.
- For node managers running on Linux, click Spotfire.Dxp.netcore-linux.sdn.
Click Open to add the selected file.
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.
