How do you import reports into Spotfire via CLI?

Question

I am looking into integrating our Spotfire reports into our CI process. Currently we manually export and import the reports into each environment via the Spotfire thick client.

I would prefer to control this via a batch script that would integrate with our SCM. My main issue is that I have not been able to find any information about the spotfire windows server CLI.

This looks promising - I will have to check to see if the automation services come with the server or if this is a different product. It has a CLI and can import into the Library. Looks like jobs are run based on an XML file that could be generated by SCM check-ins. – John D Mar 17 '13 at 20:18
Sadly we do not have the automation services. Hopefully there is another method to import reports – John D Mar 19 '13 at 12:13

here https://docs.tibco.com/pub/spotfire_server/5.0.0-nov-2012/TIB_SSDoc_ServerInstallationManual.pdf there are two commands export‐library‐content Exports content from the library import‐library‐content Imports content into the library

hope this helps

Excellent, this looks perfect - a parameter to the config command in TIBCO's tomcat, /tomcat/bin. – John D Mar 21 '13 at 14:45

Full disclosure: I work for TIBCO Spotfire.

The server CLI in 5.0 supports export and import of Library content. Please refer to TIBCO Spotfire Server the pages 209 and 215 in the TIBCO Spotfire Server 5.0.1 Installation and Configuration Manual.
