Hi all –

At the recent Accelrys UGM a number of attendees requested integration with Tibco-Spotfire. We have also had this request through other channels. We’d like to solicit additional input on 1) which of the following scenarios are important (please rank High/Medium/Low), and 2) any additional details/clarification of the scenarios:

1. Create Spotfire file from the Pro Client: Ability to execute a protocol in the Pro Client that writes out a Spotfire input file. I should be able to specify some basic charts (Bar chart, XY plot, etc.) that are generated when I load the file in Spotfire.
   
2. Create Spotfire Visualization in a Pipeline Pilot Web Client: Run a protocol in Web Port, or from SharePoint, etc., that processes data, creates a Spotfire input file (optionally including simple charts) and generates a link to the file. When the link is clicked, Spotfire is launched with the dataset
   
3. Launch Spotfire from Pro Client: Same as option 1, but the protocol terminates by launching Spotfire with the data (and optionally chart(s)) loaded.
   
4. Spotfire Filter (Pro Client): Same as option 3, but you can select points in Spotfire and pass that selection directly back to Pipeline Pilot
   

And some specific questions for each of these:

• These scenarios should run on a Windows server
  
• These scenarios should run on a Linux server
  
• Chart types that are most important:
  

Cheers,

Andrew LeBeau
