Description
In an open-source R Console session configured for use by the R Service (Spotfire Service for R) and running on the server that hosts the R Service, a call to buildServerSPK() may silently fail to generate the Spotfire SPK file:
>
>
> file.exists("Test.dcf")
[1] TRUE
>
>
> buildServerSPK("Test.dcf", "ServerSPK.spk", version="1.1.0.0")
Done.
>
>
> file.exists("ServerSPK.spk")
[1] FALSE
>
>
This is typically due to use of a server that does not provide all of the utilities needed for construction of the Spotfire SPK file.
