TIBCO Spotfire Server 3.2.2 - TIBCO Product Documentation

Configure the System
If you wish to run Spotfire Server in a terminal, then execute the command startup.sh
located in the directory /tomcat/bin with the same user as
the one who installed the Spotfire Server.
Response: The Spotfire Server Controller starts.
5.5 Starting the Configuration Console
If you have installed everything correctly, you will reach the configuration console by
entering the URL
http://hostname:/config (where hostname is the hostname of the machine
running the configuration console and port the port the configuration control is
listening to, by default 8080) into a web browser (see the chapter “Install the
Configuration Console” on page 26 for details on how to install the configuration
console).
Note: If you are using Internet Explorer running on Windows Vista or Windows 2003
or later with Windows Enhanced Security is enabled, you must add the configuration
console URL to the list of “Trusted sites”, on the Security tab of the Internet Options.
If you do not do this, the configuration console will fail to load.
When you start the configuration console for the first time, the following things will
happen:
1 The configuration console will detect that there is no database defined to verify the
login information with. You will be presented with a dialog where you must enter a
valid database URL before you can continue. You can select database server type and
driver from a dropdown menu, which will provide you with the URL syntax. For
instance
jdbc:tibcosoftwareinc:sqlserver://[DBServer]:[DBServerPort];DatabaseName=[DatabaseName]
or
jdbc:tibcosoftwareinc:oracle://[DBServer]:[DBServerPort];SID=[DatabaseSID]
using DataDirect drivers. DBServer should be replaced with the fully qualified
hostname (that is, including the domain name) of your database server, port with the
port the server is listening to, and databasename with the name (or sid) of your
database. For example, if you are using a standard MSSQL server called
dbsrv.company.com, listening to port 1433, and you have not changed the default
name of the Spotfire database, the URL should read:
jdbc:tibcosoftwareinc:sqlserver://dbsrv.company.com:1433;DatabaseName=spotfire_server
If you are using Microsoft SQL Server with Integrated Authentication, the URL
should look like this:
jdbc:tibcosoftwareinc:sqlserver://
dbsrv.company.com:1433;DatabaseName=spotfire_server;AuthenticationMethod=ntl
m;LoadLibraryPath=c:/tibco/tss/3.2.2/tomcat/lib
