Description

After upgrading to TIBCO Spotfire 12.0.0, the new library version history feature is disabled and is not usable. This article explains why and how to manually enable it.

Issue/Introduction

The "What's new for TIBCO Spotfire 12.0.0" and product documentation describe the new feature Library Versioning, but the feature is not enabled after upgrade to version 12.0.

Environment

All

Resolution

The Library Version History feature is enabled by default on new installations but is disabled for upgrades and must be manually enabled. This is because of the extra library space that the features requires which means the database administrator should first ensure the existing database is appropriately sized before the Spotfire administrator manually enables the feature.

To enable the library versioning, use the command line configuration tool and set library.versioning.enabled to true. For example:

config set-config-prop --name="library.versioning.enabled" --value="true"

See Executing commands on the command line for more detailed instructions (the above command is used on Step 3 of this reference), including importing the updated configuration back to the database and restarting the server.

See Library version history for more details on this feature and its usage and management.
