Upgrade to the Latest Product Releases
Streaming version 11.1.0, released on November 22, 2023, is the latest LTS version (and being the most recent release of all, is also the latest Mainstream version). See the announcement from our Product Manager on the new Spotfire Community here:
Some new features include:
- Data Streams for Cloud – This is the user-hosted version of "TIBCO Cloud Data Streams". Apart from installation, most of the articles describing how to use it still apply. Please review the articles returned by this search on the Support Portal.
- Added SB Trace Debugger Perspective to StreamBase Studio – A new perspective was added to Studio to allow visual analysis of StreamBase trace files. For more information, see SB Trace Debugger Perspective.
- Added Feature to Manage Fragment Dependencies – This provides a simpler interface that filters and narrows dependencies just to fragment dependencies. For more information, see Add a Dependency.
- UTF-8 by Default – Instead of the file.encoding system property, now, Studio and Manager launch explicitly with -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Highlight of recent system requirements changes
- Added Windows Server 2022 to the list of Supported operating systems for both development and production use.
- Spotfire Streaming now requires Java 17 for development and deployment. The Spotfire Streaming installation kit provides the runtime components of Eclipse Adoptium JDK 17.0.8. As before, Streaming detects and prefers a system-installed JDK, and uses the bundled JDK as a fallback. See further details in the JDK entry of the Supported Configurations page.
For a complete list of all system requirement changes in products and versions of interest to you, please see the System Requirements

For more information about these changes please see the Release Notes.

Product documentation Migration Guide
Linux
As of the 11.1 release the content of streambase-client RPM moved to streambase-devel RPM. The rpm-bin installer no longer includes a streambase-client installer; its content has been moved to the streambase-devel RPM.
Use the RPM installer for managed environments where only one Major (11.x) or Minor (11.1.x) version of Streaming will be installed at any time and upgrades will require downtime to uninstall the prior version before installing the newer version. This downtime requirement includes installing a new service pack which is delivered as a full product installation package.
Use the Archive installer for environments where multiple different versions of Streaming will be installed and used independently for any period of time. This is typical for developer and test environments. It is then up to how the PATH and related environment is configured for a session to select which version is active.
The Linux releases may be decomposed into the following installers for specific feature groups:
-
streambase-devel — client utilities for developing Streaming extensions and clients
-
streambase-docs — installs the documentation
-
streambase-server — installs Streaming Server
-
streambase-studio — installs StreamBase Studio
For a development environment installation, the minimum set is streambase-studio and streambase-server with docs and client utilities optional and recommended.
For a production environment installation, the minimum set is streambase-server. The other development components, if installed, are not expected to be used in production.

-
SPOT_str_11.1.0_linux_x86_64.archive-bin|.rpm-bin — main product installer
