Upgrading analysis links

If you have web links to analyses, these must be updated to work in in the new architecture.

You no longer install a Spotfire Web Player server that web client users connect to. Now all web client users connect to a Spotfire Server that has a Spotfire Web Player service installed on a node. Therefore, to make old links to web player analysis files continue to work as previously, the DNS entry to the former Web Player server must now point to the Spotfire Server.

If a custom virtual directory (other than the default SpotfireWeb) was previously used an additional mapping must be added to the file

server installation dir/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB‐INF/web.xml.

Locate the following section and add all custom directory remappings as a semicolon-separated string.
Note: The target part of the mappings should always be "spotfire/wp".
