Given the vast impact to users should the problem be encountered, this article will explain the cause of the issue and resolution again in more detail.
The change made in Spotfire 11.x will redirect Spotfire Analyst to connect to the public address of the Spotfire server rather than the server URL specified by the client user. If the public address is not configured properly, connection will fail resulting in errror.
The administrator of Spotfire server should check that public address is set correctly to an URL that client users can connect to and fix it if not set correctly.
1. Login to Spotfire Server.
2. Open a command prompt in admin mode.
3. Run the following command.
cd "C:\tibco\tss\11.4.1\tomcat\spotfire-bin\"
config set-public-address -u="Spotfire-server URL" -t password
- -u specifies the Spotfire server URL in the form of http(s)://host-name:port
- -t specifies the password of Spotfire Server Configuration Tool.
- Modify the path of Spotfire installation folder to match your site.
4. Restart Spotfire Server service for configuration to take effect.
5. Restart Spotfire Analyst and re-try login.
