Administration
Administrators can perform most management tasks in Spotfire Server, including creating users and groups, deploying software updates, and managing and monitoring software configurations.
- Opening Spotfire Server
You can access Spotfire Server through a browser on any computer in the domain. - Nodes, services, and resource pools
In Spotfire Server you can enlarge or scale down your implementation as needed, as well as create and manage resource pools. Resource pools are used in routing rules to direct Spotfire traffic to specific service instances. - User administration
If the user accounts for your Spotfire implementation are manually added to the database (rather than synchronized with an external directory such as LDAP), user administration takes place in Spotfire Server. - Group administration
Most group administration takes place in Spotfire Server. Managing licenses and preferences, however, takes place in the Administration Manager in Spotfire Analyst. - Deployments and deployment areas
To deploy Spotfire software, the administrator places software packages in a deployment area and assigns the deployment area to particular groups. - Scheduled updates to analyses
For analyses that contain links to large amounts of data, downloading fresh data can take a significant amount of time. Scheduled updates save time by downloading the latest data before users need it. - Routing rules
A routing rule specifies the resource pool on which an analysis opens. You can create routing rules to set a resource pool on which to open analyses that are requested by members of a specific group, or by a specific user. You can also set a resource pool for a specific analysis, regardless of who requests it. - Monitoring and diagnostics
Spotfire Server provides a wide range of information to help you manage and troubleshoot your implementation. - Command-based library administration tasks
Most library administration tasks are performed in Spotfire Analyst. These include structuring the library and its contents, and setting permissions for library folders. The tasks listed here either can be performed only in Spotfire Server, or can be performed in the server (as well as in Spotfire Analyst) for administrators who prefer using the command line.
