TIBCO Spotfire® Server Release Notes3
TIBCO Spotfire Server Release Notes
The release notes for this product version are provided to inform you of new features, known issues,
and issues from previous releases that have been closed.
These release notes are for TIBCO Spotfire® Server version 10.10. They cover Microsoft Windows and
Linux installations.
Spotfire® Server is a Tomcat web application that runs on Windows and Linux operating systems. It is
the administrative center of any TIBCO Spotfire® implementation. In addition to providing the tools
for configuring and administering the Spotfire® environment, Spotfire Server facilitates the services
that make it possible for users to access, blend, and visualize their data, creating analyses that provide
actionable insight.
TIBCO Spotfire® Server Release Notes4
New Features
The following new features have been added in version 10.10 of TIBCO Spotfire® Server.
Key Version Summary
TSS-28860 10.10.5 New variables in database connection properties
Two new variables have been introduced to be used in database connection property
values:
● loginTimeoutSeconds
● loginTimeoutMilliseconds
The variables can be specified like this in values:
$m{}
Example (setting the loginTimeout connection property in an Information Services
data source template):
loginTimeout
$m{loginTimeoutSeconds}
TSS-28099 10.10.4 Increased handling of output logs from standalone Ignite process
A new log file, ignite.stdouterr.log, has been added, which captures the standard
out and standard error from the Ignite process. The updates also prevent a possible
case where locking could occur because the standard out or standard error buffers
were full.
SPOT-915 10.10.0 Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL is supported as Spotfire Server database
Amazon RDS is a fully-managed relational database service for MySQL, Oracle,
PostgreSQL and SQL Server in the AWS Cloud.
Amazon RDS supports PostgreSQL major version 11.
SPOT-917 10.10.0 Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility is supported as Spotfire Server
database
Amazon Aurora is a fully-managed relational database engine that's compatible with
MySQL and PostgreSQL.
SPOT-934 10.10.0 Google Cloud for PostgreSQL is supported as Spotfire Server database
Google Cloud SQL is a fully-managed relational database service for MySQL,
PostgreSQL, and SQL Server in Google Cloud.
Google Cloud SQL supports different PostgreSQL versions.
SPOT-945 10.10.0 Azure Database for PostgreSQL is supported as Spotfire Server database
Azure Database is a fully-managed relational database service for MySQL,
PostgreSQL, and SQL Server in Azure.
Azure SQL Database supports different PostgreSQL versions.
TIBCO Spotfire® Server Release Notes5
Key Version Summary
TSS-26077 10.10.0 New property setting for configuring a timeout for information links
In Information Services, use the new property setting
InformationLinkTimeoutMinutes to configure a timeout for individual information
links.
SPOT-949 10.10.0 Microsoft SQL Server 2019 and Microsoft SQL Server 2017 for Linux are supported
as Spotfire Server database
This is in addition to the existing support of the same database versions for Windows.
Microsoft SQL Server 2019 (15.x) is the latest public release of SQL Server. For more
information see SQL Server 2019 Release Notes.
Microsoft SQL Server 2017 is the previous public release of SQL Server. For more
information see SQL Server 2017 Release Notes.
TIBCO Spotfire® Server Release Notes6
Changes in Functionality
The following are important changes in functionality in version 10.10 of Spotfire Server.
Key Version Summary
TSS-29485 10.10.7 Earlier release of the Spotfire Server database connection when executing
information links
The likelihood of too many Spotfire Server database connections being in use when
executing information links where the database drivers or the Information Services
database takes too long to respond has been reduced.
TSS-28863 10.10.5 New timeout settings for connection verification queries
To improve robustness, a timeout setting has been added for those queries that are
periodically made to verify that idle connections in database connection pools are
still alive. The timeout is controlled through a connection property called spotfire.
pooling.data.source.connection-verification-timeout-seconds, with the
default value 10. Specifying a negative value will revert to the old behavior.
TSS-28146 10.10.4 Changes to SSO configured access for anonymous user accounts
If Spotfire Server was configured with SSO authentication (for example, Kerberos), had
enabled anonymous authentication, and used the Javascript API for an analysis that
the anonymous user did not have access to, the resulting session could not access the
analysis.
Note: Any already-opened analysis in the anonymous session will be closed. To revert
to the old behavior, set the Spotfire Server configuration property public-api.js-
api.web-player.sso-login-for-anonymous-without-access to false.
TSS-28151 10.10.4 Changes to system monitoring sessions metric
The sessions metric in the monitoring Action Logging category would previously
become gradually more and more incorrect. This issue has been fixed, but the
semantics of the metric have slightly changed. The metric no longer gives the number
of authenticated sessions, but instead the total number of sessions on the server.
SPOT-101 10.10.0 The Spotfire Server and Node Manager now use Java 11 instead of Java 8.
Java 11 is the latest long-term support (LTS) version.
Note: Additional drivers or existing Java software customizations might need to be
verified and upgraded.
The Oracle Java SE distribution is included in the Spotfire Server and Node Manager
packages.
For a complete list of changes, see the OpenJDK JDK11 Feature List (Java 11 reference
implementation) and the Oracle JDK 11 Release Notes (the Oracle OpenJDK specific
distribution).
Note: Due to the update from Java 8 to Java 11, to update the node manager to version
10.10, you must install it on each computer, and then run the node manager upgrade
tool
TIBCO Spotfire® Server Release Notes7
Key Version Summary
TSS-25064 10.10.0 Web help for TIBCO Spotfire Server improved
The web help outputs of the TIBCO Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation
and Administration guide and the TIBCO Spotfire® Server and Environment - Quick
Start guide have been modernized with an updated look and feel and improved search
capabilities. However, the new way of producing the help has the implication that
any external links pointing to specific help pages in the latest documentation (that
included a GUID in the html path) no longer work.
To work around this problem, keep the browser path, but replace the .html file name
with index.html, and then search for the topic title.
TSS-26062 10.10.0 Change to recommended directory for SAP/Sybase jConnect JDBC driver As of this
release of Spotfire, you must place the JDBC driver for SAP/Sybase jConnect (jconn4-
jdbc.jar) in a directory other than the otherwise recommended directory for JDBC
drivers (/tomcat/custom-ext). Instead you can place the
driver in for example: /tomcat/lib The reason for this is
the change to Java 11 and a conflict with Oracle JDBC drivers, that occurs if you try to
connect to Oracle with Information Services. The conflict happens because of a known
issue in the jConnect driver, see SAP Note 2827462.
TSS-26419 10.10.0 Changes to automatic bootstrapping after using the Upgrade Tool
If you execute the Upgrade Tool without specifying an older server installation
to upgrade, then after the upgrade, the new installation must be bootstrapped. (
Previously the Upgrade Tool would do that.)
TSS-26989 10.10.0 Changes to node updating from Nodes & Services for certain versions
If you try to update a node with version lower than 10.10.0 from Nodes & Services,
and if the Spotfire Server version is greater than or equal to 10.10.0, then an update
error message is displayed, explaining why the update is not possible, and the update
is not executed.
TSS-27113 10.10.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 no longer supported for Admin UI apps
Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 is no longer a supported browser for accessing
the Admin UI apps (Users & Groups, Scheduling & Routing, Nodes & Services,
Deployments & Packages, Monitoring & Diagnostics, Automation Services, Server
Tools). You can still use this browser to view the Library app and the Analytics app for
account details.

TIBCO Spotfire® Server Release Notes14
Closed Issues
The table lists important closed issues in version 10.10 of Spotfire Server.
Key Version Summary
TSS-29411 10.10.7 The Spotfire Server startup script does not clear old PID files on a Linux computer.
Spotfire does not automatically start up after shutdown.
TSS-29412 10.10.7 For Information Services, an invalid query is generated when the IN clause size is
greater than 1000. This results in errors when, for example, using marking.
TSS-29461 10.10.7 In certain scenarios, routing of Automation Services jobs was skewed, so that one
instance handled more jobs than others.
TSS-29511 10.10.7 In certain situations, a deadlock occurs when the server is shut down.
TSS-29528 10.10.7 When an information link parameter is used for filtering, if the parameter value is a list
with duplicates and its size is greater than the condition-list-threshold property
of the data source, then the result can include duplicates.
TSS-29588 10.10.7 Upgrading from Spotfire versions 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, or 7.8 fails with the message "Unable
to determine the site that the server belongs to: Error while looking
up the site for the node.".
TSS-29653 10.10.7 Initiating a schedule for a shutdown of automation services jobs with the status IN_
PROGRESS results in the status immediately changing to FAILED.
TSS-29713 10.10.7 If the Spotfire Server is configured with the non-default value scheduled-updates.
failover-delay.enabled = true, then scheduled analyses with 24/7 schedules are
not loaded when a Web Player service instance is restarted.
TSS-29763 10.10.7 On Windows, when launching the configuration tool using the uiconfig.bat script,
or the upgrade tool using the upgradetool.bat script, the Java system property java.
library.path is not correctly defined. This has the effect that the tools cannot load
native libraries (.dll files). Such native libraries are typically required by JDBC drivers
when using integrated authentication to connect to databases. On both Windows and
Linux, the tools available in \tomcat\spotfire-
bin and \tools\upgrade also incorrectly adds the
system path (PATH) on Windows, or the system library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) on
Linux, to the java.library.path, which introduces a risk that incorrect native libraries are
loaded.
The definitions of the java.library.path system property have been revised so
that all server tools on all supported platforms now only load native libraries (.dll
files on Windows, .so files on Linux) from the \
tomcat\spotfire-lib and \tomcat\custom-ext
directories. The spotfire-lib directory is reserved for native libraries bundled with
the Spotfire Server. Any custom add-ons must be added to the custom-ext directory.
TSS-29798 10.10.7 PostgreSQL Data Sources in Information Designer do not show functions along with
the procedures, in contrast to other data sources.
TSS-29841 10.10.7 In some cases when two-factor authentication is enabled, the Spotfire Server
configuration tool replaces the client certificates configuration with invalid values
when saving the configuration.
TIBCO Spotfire® Server Release Notes15
Key Version Summary
TSS-29888 10.10.7 When Scheduled Updates failover delay was enabled, error messages could be seen in
the logs.
TSS-29086 10.10.6 In Scheduling & Routing, the routing rules are slow to be listed.
TSS-28337 10.10.5 In the Scheduled Updates Rules table, you could not disable a rule you selected after
you applied a filter.
TSS-28617 10.10.5 For PostgreSQL, if you updated (by resaving) existing library items that exceeded 2GB
in size, then the update would fail and write the following error to the log: "large
object read request is too large".
TSS-28746 10.10.5 In certain scenarios, a service is not detected correctly as reachable over the network.
TSS-28754 10.10.5 If the user tried to open an analysis in Business Author and Consumer, and if the
analysis had the following combinations of specifications, then the analysis would fail
to open.
● The analysis used the mash-up js-api.
● The API specified the library path (instead of specifying the library identifier).
● The library path contained certain characters.
● The analysis required authentication.
TSS-28764 10.10.5 The server could throw an exception when queuing was disabled and a scheduled
update was triggered.
TSS-28857 10.10.5 If the jdbc data source cannot handle temporary tables, or if the Spotfire system is not
configured for use of temporary tables, performance can get slow when loading data
from an information link with a large amount of query conditions. For example, this
can happen when loading on-demand.
TSS-28866 10.10.5 The Information Services database connection pool now handles more concurrent
requests, improving throughput and reducing the negative effects of a malfunctioning
database or database driver.
TSS-29015 10.10.5 The JSON example for create-scheduled-jobs is missing its closing brackets. {{ } ]}} ,
which causes the example to fail.
TSS-27959 10.10.4 Deploying a custom extension directly from the Package Builder in Spotfire 10.8 or
later resulted in an error.
TSS-27982 10.10.4 In Information Designer, if you created a table alias as a user without the permission to
write to the folder where you created the alias, you would get an error message but the
alias would still be available until the next reboot of the Spotfire Server.
After the next reboot of the Spotfire Server, it was not possible to use the table alias.
TSS-28012 10.10.4 Log files are now encoded in UTF-8.
TSS-28042 10.10.4 The Web Player JavaScript API Reference was not available on the Spotfire Server
page on docs.tibco.com. The documentation will be available for new versions of the
product from 11.2 and forward.
TIBCO Spotfire® Server Release Notes16
Key Version Summary
TSS-28044 10.10.4 If a version of Spotfire Server before version 10.10 was updated to a later version, and
the Spotfire Server had a job queued for a scheduled update prior to the update, then
the updated server could not read the job status correctly from the database.
TSS-28102 10.10.4 The time stamps in the Tomcat log files now coincide with the date in the name of the
log file.
TSS-28110 10.10.4 Short, transient large memory allocations and CPU usage surges can result from "Web
Player analysis closed" reasons. Such activity is caused by the system attempting to
determine behavior for a returning user after an analysis has closed.
These allocations and surges are now removed continuously, based on the session
lifetime, and they have a cap of the maximum number of reasons. Previously, these
allocations and surges were removed hourly in batches.
TSS-28178 10.10.4 The Guest@Anonymous user could not be enabled from the Users & Groups page.
TSS-27363 10.10.3 Spotfire Server configured for an external user directory, such as LDAP or Windows,
did not allow library items to be reimported if the folder permissions included a user
name whose permissions had been disabled.

caused the installer to exit unexpectedly.
TSS-27668 10.10.3 In the Node Manager installer Network Names panel, when names were rearranged
using the Up or Down buttons, a very short server name would trigger an error that
caused the installer to exit unexpectedly.

TSS-27951 10.10.3 When you ran an external scheduled update, any matching enabled rule or resource
pool argument was not taken into account in all scenarios.
TSS-27953 10.10.3 Due to a timing issue, certain scenarios could cause a Statistica service job fail if the job
was run from TIBCO Spotfire Analyst.
TSS-27178 10.10.1 Previously, running multiple library imports and exports using the import-library-
content and export-library-content commands concurrently could cause one or
more of them to fail due to temporary files being deleted prematurely.
TSS-27201 10.10.1 The wrong TrustManager implementation (SunX509) would be used for the default
Java trust store when one or more key or trust stores were placed in tomcat/certs. (
The SunX509 implementation does not support all features available in the standard (
PKIX) implementation; Most notably, it does not support the Authority Information
Access TLS extension.)

Migration and Compatibility
This topic contains detailed instructions for migrating from a previous release to Spotfire Server version
10.10.
Spotfire Server
See "Upgrading Spotfire" in the Spotfire Server and Environment - Installation and Administration
help.
As of Spotfire Server version 10.3.0, server hotfixes can be applied only on the specific service
pack version that they were created for. Example: If you currently have version 10.3.1, you can
apply server hotfixes only for the 10.3.1 version, such as 10.3.1 HF-001, 10.3.1 HF-002, and so on.
If you want a hotfix of a different service pack level, such as 10.3.2 HF-001, you must first make
sure to upgrade to that service pack (10.3.2) before applying the hotfix.
Newer and older versions of Spotfire Analyst client can be used to connect to the current version of
Spotfire Server in order to upgrade or downgrade the client packages. However, it is recommended
to always run the same version of client and server in production environments. See System
Requirements.
Spotfire Automation Services
