Fixed Issues

TIBCO Spotfire Server Accepts IP Addresses as URI

TIBCO Spotfire Server accepts only an IP Address in the JDBC URI field.

The issue is now fixed. The connector now accepts hostname and port as part of the JDBC URI. (AL-154341)

Unable to Use the Open with BI Server Functionality

The Open with Server BI button on the UI for the TIBCO Spotfire connector works only at the top-most level (BI Server); at lower levels, it maps to incorrect URLs.

The issue is now fixed. (AL-160748)

Metadata Extraction Fails After Granting Permission to New Folders

After granting permissions to access new folders for extraction, MDE fails with the following error: Error Fetching Data from Tibco SPOTFIRE

The issue is now resolved. (AL-162672)
