Stage the packages
Displayed here is a high-level outline of the processes of staging packages, including deploying them to a Spotfire Server package repository and, optionally, to a Spotfire Statistics Services package repository.
To stage and deploy a package in the Spotfire Server cluster and optionally the Spotfire Statistics Services cluster, follow the pictured workflow. These steps describe the numbers in the image.
- From your local TERR console, produce or download the R language package that you want to deploy and use. (Open the console from the Spotfire Analyst installation, from the menu.)
- Using your local TERR engine, test the package.
- From your local TERR engine, load the SpotfireSPK package, and then call the function buildSPK to build the SPK (passing in the DCF name, the SPK name, and any additional parameters you require). For more information, see the section Creating the Spotfire SPK.
- Hand off both the SPK and the R package to your
Spotfire Server administrator. (Optionally, if you have the permissions, you can upload the R package to an in-house repository using the drat package.)
- The administrator places the SPK on the Spotfire Server and if required, using the TERR console, copies the package to the in-house repository.
- The administrator logs in to
Spotfire Statistics Services and, using the
TERR console, installs the R package from the in-house repository to
Spotfire Statistics Services.
Note: Optionally, the administrator can use the Eclipse plugin TSSS Connector to install the package to Spotfire Statistics Services. (For more information, see the section Uploading a package using TSSS Connector.)
