Description
If your TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services (TSSS) server is configured to use the Open Source R engine, if you see that the CPU usage for TSSS sub-processes are constantly high for the Open Source R engine, then one of the reason can be that an old rJava package is being used by the Open Source R engine.
One of the common reason why there may be an old rJava version could be that, during regular upgrades of the Open Source R engine over the past years, the existing rJava package was continually copied to the new installation, which now may not be compatible with the later Open Source R and Java versions being used. Installing latest available rJava package version should help to get CPU usage back to normal.
