TIBCO Spotfire Server 3.2.2 - TIBCO Product Documentation

Advanced Procedures
sqlplus @DBServer @create_server_env.sql "spotfire_server"
Microsoft SQL Server
When populating a Spotfire database residing on a Microsoft SQL Server the
create_databases script passes certain variables to these scripts. These variables
include:
• SERVERDB_NAME
• DEMODB_NAME
When you run the SQL scripts manually, you must make sure to pass these variables
along to the scripts. For example:
sqlcmd -S DBServer\DBInstance -i create_server_db.sql -v
SERVERDB_NAME="spotfire_server"
9.14 Resizing Temporary Tablespace
The tablespaces/database files for Spotfire Server using Oracle/MSSQL Database uses
autoextend/autogrowth by default. If this turns out to be inappropriate for your needs
alter this settings. It might be desirable to alter the amount the files should be extended
by with each increment. For Oracle there is a maxsize for each tablespace which
should be reviewed. For MSSQL, there is an unlimited growth this should also be
reviewed.
9.15 Modifying the Virtual Memory
If many simultaneous users intend to perform heavy data pivoting via Information
Services or in other ways stress the server, you may need to modify the amount of
memory available to the virtual machine. The application server’s JVM must have
equal settings for the initial and maximum heap sizes, otherwise data pivoting in
Information Services will not work properly and there might be a risk that the server
will run out of memory.
Note: Do not allocate too much heap memory because every JVM has a specific upper
limit for how much memory it can handle. If the memory allocation exceeds this limit,
the JVM may not start. The recommended setting that will work for most installations
is the default value of 1024 MB.
To Set Up the Start Script (not running as a Windows service):
1 Open the file /tomcat/bin/setenv.bat/.sh in a text editor.
2 Find the line that sets the variable JAVA_OPTS:
set JAVA_OPTS=-server -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M
