This tool allows the administrators to ensure that configuration is carried out correctly (and to troubleshoot if necessary). It will only be available on the local client of the administrators who installed it.
This tool is fully working with Spotfire version 11.4.
Prerequisite: have the Spotfire database connection string or at least:
- Spotfire database server name
- Spotfire database name and type (SQL or Oracle)
- Spotfire server database read account and password

Close the window.
c. Configure the tool in Spotfire
