Installing the extension

Download a zip file containing documentation and the deployment package and unzip these into a folder on your computer.

To setup the package into the Spotfire Server, access it through the web interface in a browser and login using the your administrator login details. The link to it is usually as follows: http://\[Your Spotfire Server]/spotfire/administration/

• Click the link "Open Administration Console" to start administering the server.

• On the top are three tabs, of which you click the last one, "Deployment" .

When loaded you can choose to which part of the server to deploy the extension, "Production Area" or "Test Area" . We recommend to first try it out in the "Test Area" before migrating it onto the "Production Area" .

When the area is chosen, click the "Edit" link and then the "Add" link. Now you can specify the path to the folder where you unzipped the extension and add it to the area by pressing "Ok". When the package file is uploaded simply press "Save" to accept the changes and the package is now on the server.

Starting the IJC Spotfire/JChem4XCL integration

There are 3 possible ways to start the integration. All of them work as a toggle - they start the integration if it is not running, or stop the integration if it is already running.
