To minimize the size of your TIBCO Spotfire database, you can store your organization's Spotfire library content (analyses and analysis data) in the cloud using Amazon Web Services S3 (AWS), or in a file system elsewhere. In a typical Spotfire installation, the largest part of database storage consists of the library content. When you move the library content to external storage, only the metadata about the library files remains in the database. See Library content storage outside of the Spotfire database for more details.

When saving a large analysis to the external library (like an Amazon S3 bucket), the operation may fail with the the following error message in server.log:

Saving data to external TIBCO Spotfire library fails with the error message "java.io.IOException: No space left on device"

When saving an analysis to the library, the entire file is first uploaded from the TIBCO Spotfire Analyst client to the TIBCO Spotfire Server. The Spotfire Server breaks the analysis file up into multiple temporary files, as necessary, and this collection of temporary files is called a cache and temporarily stored on the Spotfire Server disk. Then the Spotfire Server writes the analysis to the external Library database.

If the Spotfire Server does not have the storage capacity to hold the temporary files (which comprise the file being saved) before sending it to the external library storage, then the above "No space left on device" error may occur.

To resolve, ensure there is sufficient free disk space on the TIBCO Spotfire Server to accommodate the size of the files being saved. This may involving increasing the disk space or removing other files on the existing disk to free up sufficient space.
