TIBCO Spotfire Server 3.2.2 - TIBCO Product Documentation

Installing Spotfire Server 3.2
If you plan to run only a single Spotfire Server, you will most likely install both the
Spotfire Server and the Spotfire Configuration Console on the same machine. In a
clustered environment with several Spotfire Servers, it is often preferable to install the
configuration console on a separate machine. This way, you can avoid having the
configuration console going down if you for instance need to bring down a Spotfire
Server machine for maintenance.
For more information on the configuration console and what it does, see “Install the
Configuration Console” on page 26.
2.3.3 Run Installer
MIGRATING OR UPGRADING?
Running 10.1, 3.0, or 3.1 and 3.2 on the Same Machine
It is possible to run two versions of the server on the same machine as
long as they communicate on different ports.
The Spotfire Server installer will ask for three ports: Spotfire Server
port, Configuration Console port, and Spotfire Controller port. Each of
these applications is described in the section “Architectural Overview”
on page 6. Ensure that you do not select any port that is already in use
by 10.1 or 3.0. Before starting the Spotfire Server, you must also make
sure that none of the other ports used by the servers collide. All port
numbers are specified in the file server.xml, located in the directory
/server/conf/ on the 10.1 server, and
/tomcat/conf/ on the 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2
server. For a full specification of this file, see the section “Server.xml”
on page 135.
Microsoft SQL Server Windows Integrated Login
If the 3.0 or 3.1 installation authenticates with a Microsoft SQL Server
using Windows Integrated Login, it is important to install and run the
3.2 server using the same Windows Domain user.
Alternatively, you can re-configure your Microsoft SQL Server to
accept another Windows Domain user to access the Spotfire database.
See also the section “Run the Upgrade Tool” on page 38 for
information about the upgrade tool and Windows Integrated Login.
In the installation kit, you will find the installer (install.exe or install.bin). Copy this
file to the machine on which you want to install the Spotfire Server.
It is possible to run the Spotfire Server installer silently using predefined parameters.
This is useful when you wish to install several servers with the same setup. See
“Installing Spotfire Server Silently Using Pre-defined Parameters” on page 84 for
more information.
