TIBCO Spotfire Server 3.2.2 - TIBCO Product Documentation

Installing Spotfire Server 3.2
The demo database contains example data that is useful for learning about Spotfire. If
the users are new to Spotfire, you might want to install it.
Note: If you are creating the Spotfire tablespaces on a database server that is already
hosting Analytics Server 10.1 or Spotfire Server 3.0 or 3.1 tablespaces, ensure that you
do not select any names for the 3.2 databases and users that conflict with the 10.1, 3.0,
or 3.1 tablespaces and users.
2.2.4.4 Run the create_databases.bat/.sh Script
Once the scripts have been properly set up, run the create_databases.bat (or
create_databases.sh) script. Running this script will execute all of the other SQL
scripts in the folder.
1 Open a command prompt window.
2 Navigate to the directory where you placed the scripts.
3 Type create_databases.bat and press Enter.
Response: The scripts now set up the Spotfire Database needed to run Spotfire
Server, and the Spotfire Demo Database which contains demo data. Note
that this may take some time.
A log file called log.txt will be created in the same directory as the create_databases
file. Also, a number of log files from the creation of the Spotfire demo data will be
created. Please examine these files to verify that no errors occurred.
Proceed to “Install Spotfire Server” on page 22 when finished.
2.2.5 Microsoft SQL Server
2.2.5.1 Prerequisites
In order for the scripts to work the following settings need to be configured on the
Microsoft SQL Server:
• TCP/IP communication must be enabled.
• A TCP/IP listener port must be configured (The recommended default is 1433).
• A case insensitive collation must be used (at least for the Spotfire database).
• Collation must match the language in which you will store data (affects search).
2.2.5.2 Copy the Scripts to the Database Server
1 On the installation media, find the scripts directory:
• scripts/mssql_install
