jobs

Client-side workbench for building sets of pre-built,

independently configurable “Operations” into “Jobs”


Automation Services vs. Other Scheduling Options

Automation Services Web Player Scheduled Updates or Event-Driven Updates

Executes a batch job that automates core Spotfire platform

Automates only the refresh of linked data and caching the analysis document in Web Player memory

Job execution must be triggered by an external event or scheduler

Jobs can be submitted based on a schedule or by a message sent from a Web service or TIBCO Enterprise Message Service

Has built-in Web service for submitting jobs and monitoring the status


Options for Extending Functionality

API for developing custom operations

Execution engine and configuration UIs

Source code examples provided for out-of-the-box operations

Automation Services Options


Automating Options

Web Service with Client-Side Job Builder or Externally-Built XML Script Configure to

Run analysis Scheduler Event Trigger

System Requirements



Client Considerations: Distribution

Must be deployed as a package from the Administration Console.

The images on this slide illustrate product features or functionality under consideration by

TIBCO for inclusion in future releases or future products. If implemented, the actual

functionality/design pattern may bear no resemblance to these images.


Client Considerations: Distribution

Must Set Appropriate Access in Spotfire Client

Distributing to the client requires providing an .spk file

To gain access to the job builder, the client user must accept the update

Further configuration settings required in the Spotfire client for your users

Covered in later course


Client Considerations

Requires Spotfire Professional

Access to Job Builder tool

System Requirements

The images on this slide illustrate product features or

functionality under consideration by TIBCO for inclusion in

future releases or future products. If implemented, the

actual functionality/design pattern may bear no

resemblance to these images.



Client Considerations: ClientJobSender.exe

ClientJobSender.exe tool Found in Automation Services Installer Kit with config file Command line utility that requires two arguments:

a. URL to the job Executor in the Automation Services web server b. The full path to the XML file specifying the job to be executed

Requires third-party tool for scheduled execution
