IronPython scripts and Web Player

[Dmitry Surovtsev]

Hi,

I am currently implementing a dashboard in Spotfire Analyst that will eventually be deployed to the web (via Spotfire WebPlayer).

I came across the following notices that apparently mean there are restrictions to deploying scripts on the web.

https://community.spotfire.com/questions/ironpython-scripting-web-client

https://community.spotfire.com/questions/ipython-script-runs-spotfire-clien...

"However, due to security reasons, scripts cannot be used in a Spotfire Business Author cloud environment. "

Is there any way to understand in advance if my IronPython script will run in WebPlayer, and the particular features to avoid

Regards

Dmitry

As you are developing dxp, it is very easy to save it in a test folder in spotfire library and test out on webplayer whether it works or not.

Script works or not for Business Author user will depend on the script you are executing. Eg: If a user is only provided consumer, enterprise player license to open dxps on webplayer but your script performs action of replacing data table which is editing the document. Then that user will get error for license, as editing analysis license is available for Business Author and he does not have it.

So scripts does work on webplayer but it will depend on the actions you are performing in the script.
