Description

When setting up a cluster of TIBCO Spotfire Servers, you have successfully added multiple TIBCO Spotfire Servers. You are able to start one of the Spotfire servers but have issues when you start the second server. On the second server, look at catalina.log file and you may see the following:

Resolution

This indicates that you have an issue with the bootstrap. The server ID may be same on first and second Spotfire server. Create a new bootstrap file to resolve the issue. See the referenced documentation for instructions.
