Connecting to TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services

The TSSS Connector plugin requires further configuration to connect to TIBCO Spotfire® Statistics Services. This section walks you through establishing that connection.

Procedure

  1. After you have installed the TSSS Connector plugin and Eclipse restarts, if you haven’t done so already, from the Eclipse Window menu, click Show View > Other.
  2. From the list, select Statistics Services.
  3. Anchor the view wherever you want to display it in the Eclipse environment.
  4. In the view, click the green plus sign to add the service.
  5. In the Add Service Connection, type the service name you want to display (For example, MyServer).
  6. Type the Server URL (for example, http://CoTSSS:8080/TERRServer).
  7. Supply a user name. This can be any name.
  8. Click Submit. The service is added.

Result

Note that under the server name (in this case, MyServer), three folders appear. Only one, Packages, is currently supported. The Jobs folder only displays a list of jobs sent to the Service, and the Data folder is reserved for future use.
