Web Player Service installation impossible

[Dariusz Marszal]

Hi,

I have a test Spotfire Server installation running Spotfire Server 7.6

* All boxes running RHEL 6.8

* Running Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 XE on BOX1

* Running node manager and spotfire server on Box2

* Database created and server bootstrapped

* Admin user created and given admin privs

* Deployed client packages

Spotfire.Dxp.NodeManager.sdn

Spotfire.Dxp.sdn

* Created and added node manager, added to trusted nodes, all green

Got blocked ... no as there's no way to choose capability and configuration when attempting to install new service under "Nodes & Services". It wasn't there with the default installation of client packages and its not there when doing import/export and then set server config. Attaching some screenshots.

Is it even possible to install Web Player on Linux server

Please advise.

Hi There,

Unfortunately it's not possible to install Web Player on Linux. See here for the system requirements:

http://support.spotfire.com/sr_spotfire_webplayer76.asp#spotfire_webplay...

Technical reasons:

Although Web Player is now a Tomcat hosted application, the underlying code is .NET, so it needs Windows to run.

Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear.

Andrew,

may I ask, why was the TSNM even released for linuxif you can not even use it for its purpose

what about supporting .net.core under linux.. is this possible

[Fernando Custodio]

Hello Freibuis,

The TSNM is responsible for work three services being them:

 

Spotfire Web Player

Spotfire Automation Services

TERR service

 

All services work on the Windows platform, but currently only TERR Service working on the Linux platform.

Let me know if you have another issue.

 

Regards.
