2017-06-01 11:51:06.110-0400 [Thread- ThreadPool - 2] WARN SpotfireJob - Error processing request: Server returned HTTP response code: 405 for URL: http://spotfire.server.com/JobExecutor.asmx?op=LaunchJob2

This occurs after following the setup instructions in the Help under StreamBase Home > Adapters Guide > StreamBase Embedded Adapters > Spotfire Automation Services Output Adapter.​

Issue/Introduction

When the Spotfire adapter is configured according to the StreamBase Help, a 405 HTTP error code is seen when the adapter attempts to connect to a Spotfire Server v7.9 or later.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, append the '/spotfire' server directory to the 'Spotfire URL' field in the adapter's Properties tab (under the 'Connection' sub tab).  In the above example, the Spotfire URL was changed from..
 
http://spotfire.server.com

..to:
 
http://spotfire.server.com/spotfire
