Installing the Spotfire Server files (RPM Linux)

If you have root access to the Linux computer on which you want to install Spotfire Server, you can use the RPM-based installer. If you do not have root access, use the Tarball installer instead.

Prerequisites

The Spotfire database has been set up within your Oracle or SQL Server database; for instructions, see Setting up the Spotfire database on Oracle or on SQL Server.
Note: For security and product performance reasons, it is recommended that you install Spotfire Server on a different computer than the database.

Procedure

  1. Open a command line and run the following script: rpm -ivh tss-<version number>.x86_64.rpm
    As the script runs it prompts you for any missing arguments.
  2. On the command line, run the post-installation script: /usr/local/bin/tibco/tss/<version number>/configure [-d] [-s ] [-r ] [-b ] where:
    • -d disables the download of third-party components.
    • -s specifies the server front-end port.
    • -r specifies the back-end registration port.
    • -b specifies the back-end communication port.
