I want to configure the Tibco Spotfire and confused with 2 terms -
1) Spotfire Web player client
2) Spotfire Web player server
Can anyone help to know the difference between Spotfire Web player client and Spotfire Web player server.
As per my understanding, I can install Spotfire Server and Spotfire Web player on one machine. And Spotfire developer on various machines.
Now I am confused with a new term as 'Spotfire Web player client'. How I can use this client for the Spotfire configuration?
Spotfire Web player server is the machine on which you host Spotfire Web player application. Spotfire Web player client is this web application hosted on server. You can still host Web player app on the same machine on which you 'open' it as a client in Web browser.
It is like with any other web app. Those apps must be hosted on some servers and when hosted they can be 'opened' in browsers from other machines than those on which they are served but still they also can be opened on the same machines.
The Spotfire Webplayer Server is the machine that will interact with the Spotfire Server, much like the Professional(Pro) client does. It should reside in the same data center as the Spotfire Server. The Spotfire Webplayer Client (consumer) is the interface from any machine to the Spotfire Webplayer. It is accessed via your local browser. Data communication happen between the Webplayer and Server. The client will just have mostly pictures and JavaScript, etc.
While with the Business Author license you can now do some authoring from the Webplayer Client, most of the Authoring would normally be done with the Spotfire Professional Client. So in a sense you can think of the Spotfire Webplayer Server as a remote 'Professional client' with stripped down functionality that is accessed remotely via your browser (the Webplayer client).
TIBCO does a really good job documenting and explaining this in their
TIBCO Spotfire® Web Player 7.0 Installation and Configuration Manual chapter 1 section 1.2 page 5

me and my team are students and have created a game in HTML5, Javascript and CSS3 which we need for an organization that required the game to be packed into a single desktop application, that can be accessed even if there isn't a network connection.
My question is how to this, how to pack the game?
You need some sort of network connection in order to access this game from clients machines:
In internal network you have to install Web Server like Apache or nginx
and some kind of network connection between clients, it could be [LAN][3] or [Wireless LAN][4] network.
Im doing my final project which is a taxi booking service. i intend to make an ios app for the customer so that they can book a taxi. the request will then be sent to the mysql database (held at the taxi base). i want to no how can i send the information from the app to the datatbase; and the datatbase to send a confirmation message back to the app confirming the taxi has been booked!>>>>>
i have read a lot about web servers but am very confused. can i use an web server e.g. windows home server 2008? any help would be appreciated.
I am not familiar with Windows home server 2008, but I'm pretty much sure that you can use it for your project.
If you want to keep things simple,
Just install XAMPP server which comes with all the components you need to work on this project including PHP and MySQL. It is one of the easiest servers to work with and most of all, its free and open source. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
Then write the business logics inside your Web App using whatever the programming language you want to (for this one PHP would be enough, or choose Java if you want to have a more complex scalable solution). Writing data to a MySQL database using PHP is very easy and you can find ton of tutorials and sample source codes in the internet.
Now your web app is all set, the next step is to expose these services using REST where an iPhone can communicate with your services. Use JSON for interacting with your Web server from iPhone. Again, there are tones of tutorials on how to write a JSON RESTful service using PHP.
Finally in your iPhone app, you can access the service exposed from the server for saving data as well as to retrieve anything from it through JSON. For making this, use a good Objective-C framework such as AFNetworking. It comes with the JSON parser as well. Ref. http://afnetworking.com
Good luck with your project !
RESTful web services are going to be your best friend here.
Create a server side program in django or python or whstever. Connect it to a database (mysql).
You can host it on Amazon Web Services. I think they have windows 2008 instances. I would personally use the amazon linux ami.
Use afnetworking to invoke a get or a post on the server app and you are off to the races.
take a look at this open source taxi project
its work with RESTful web services but its better to forget about Microsoft Windows its better to use Linux hosting for your web service.
I am working in flex 4.6 air application, in which i am fetching data from server through HTTP services. We are using the Mysql database and php for making services. I want to implement the online/offline functionality in this application any one has any idea about that how it is possible through HTTP services or there is any other coding stuff for achieving it.
Thanks
We are developping an AIR Application that is used within our company VPN. The clients are not always connected to the network while they are in use (there are desktop clients as well as iOS clients). Now we want to add analytics functionality to get statistics of number of installations, frequency of use of certain features and so on.
Because the clients are not always connected to the network, the solution should feature offline tracking of events, which are then sent to the tracking server once a connection to the server can be established.
AppAnalytics (http://www.appanalyticshq.com/features/) offers exactly what we need, but it aparently it's not self-hosted. Because of strict security policies, the clients in our VPN are not allowed to up or download anything to/from the internet - therefore we look for something that can be hosted on a server within our VPN.
Does anyone know a good solution for this scenario?
Can Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Web Edition be used in "closed" websites, which are hosted on the Internet, but require users to log in?
We are developing a web application for banks. This is a website for clients of the bank; it allows clients to log in and view information on their personal banking accounts, stock portfolios, etc.
Can this web app use SQL Server 2008 Web Edition?
Here is information on this edition of SQL Server:
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/web.aspx
It is said on this page that Web Edition can be used only on "public and Internet accessible ... Web applications". Technically, the web app we are developing is public and Internet accessible - although it requires authentication. Won't using Web Edition in our web app violate SQL Server license terms?
Thank you.
Yes, perfectly. The website is public (everyone can see the login screen) and it is internet accessible (as in: accessed from / through the internet). You probably have a larger public site, actually, with some news and legal discplaimers.
As the authentication you do will be WITHIN the app, it is totally within the limits that the license says.
(and yes, I am SPLA license holder, so I know the SPUR you ahve to follow)
