Application and Document are the two objects which are available in the IronPython scripting in TIBCO Spotfire which do not require an instantiation.
Application [AnalysisApplication] represents the currently running TIBCO Spotfire instance. This object can therefore be used to control the running instance, for example to open files or replace data. If an analysis file (DXP file) has been opened in the application, an object representing that document is available through
Document.
