Spotfire Library Location for Content Migrating

In Spotfire 6.5 Version, a new feature has been provided to update the location of  Library Directory.

In earlier versions of Spotfire when we Export the content from Library Administration, the zip files used to get generated on the Spotfire server at location as below

C:\tibco\tss\6.5.1\tomcat\application-data\library

The problem here is when we would like to export the content from Clustered environment to another environment, the library content zip file would be generated only on one of the clustered server. For which, you would need to check manually on which server the Zip files are generated and then copy them to the Other environment Server and import them accordingly.

 

 

 Instead of default library location, we can make use of shared location so that it can be accessed by multiple environments which avoids manual work to look on which server the zip files are generated. Below are the steps to update the same:-

- Open the Config file (Start-> Tibco Spotfire Server 6.5 -> Configure TIBCO Spotfire Server) on Spotfire server

- Provide the Bootstrap password

- Navigate to Configuration tab

- Go to Library Directory module and update and library path to use as Custom and then provide the location accordingly.

 

 

 Update this location on all the environments. The other advantage of this is, its not required to connect to server each time for migrating the content :)
