As you know the TIBCO Spotfire environment is installed and configured to enable users to analyze their data in
the Spotfire clients. Spotfire Server facilitates the services that make it possible for users to access, blend, and visualize their data, creating analyses that provide actionable insight.
Now let’s walkthrough on how to install and configure the Spotfire environment. Main components are Spotfire Database, Spotfire Server and Node.
The first step is to create the Spotfire Database. The Spotfire database stores the information that Spotfire Server needs to control the Spotfire environment, including users, groups, licenses, preferences, shared analyses, and system configuration data. Before start configuring the Spotfire server the Database should be up and running.
Step 1: Setting up the Spotfire database (ORACLE)
Step 2: Installing the Spotfire Server files (RPM Linux)
Spotfire – RPM install
Initial-Config-Spotfire
Step 3: Setting up the Spotfire Database and basic configurations.
./config.sh bootstrap --database-url="jdbc:tibcosoftwareinc:oracle://[SERVER]:[PORT];ServiceName=[DATABASE NAME]" --username="spotfire"
The output of the command looks like the below screenshot. You need to set up the tool password and encryption passwords which will require for the additional configurations.
Spotfire bootstrap Config
bash-4.2$ ./config.sh create-default-config --force /opt/tibco/tss/10.0.0/tomcat/bin/configuration.xml Successfully exported the default server configuration to file /opt/tibco/tss/10.0.0/tomcat/bin/configuration.xml bash-4.2$
bash-4.2$ ./config.sh import-config --tool-password="admin" --comment="Test config" Successfully imported the server configuration with hash: e1e462db0f6dd007a77fdca15a1be0b0f276540c The imported configuration has been set as active. bash-4.2$
./config.sh create-user --tool-password="admin" --username="sfadmin" --password="sfadmin"
./config.sh promote-admin --tool-password="admin" --username="sfadmin"
Final Step : Start Spotfire Server (LINUX)
Now Go to the browser and enter the server name with a port to access the Web GUI for the Spotfire server. If all went fine and no errors in logs, you will get a screen like below.
