Developer role

The developer is an R programmer or statistician who develops packages using TERR or open-source R.

The package developer accomplishes the following tasks using the Spotfire tools.

  • Develop and test packages locally using the local TERR engine available from Spotfire Analyst.
  • Create a Spotfire SPK containing the R code packages using the SpotfireSPK package, and then give them to the administrator who manages Spotfire distributions on the Spotfire Server.
  • Upload packages for others to use in your organization's in-house repository. See Package repositories for more information.
  • With granted administrative permissions, upload the packages to Spotfire Statistics Services for users accessing the advanced analytics on the Spotfire web client. (Alternatively, give the package to the Spotfire Statistics Services administrator to upload.)
