The TIBCO Drivers package, which includes ODBC drivers for Apache Spark SQL, Apache Cassandra, and MongoDB, is removed. The drivers are no longer included with Spotfire. 

If you use any of these drivers for accessing data in Spotfire today, it is recommended that you use different drivers. As you prepare to migrate, you can continue using the TIBCO ODBC drivers that you have already downloaded, but no new versions will be released to address potential issues.

Migration instructions

The following are recommendations for how you can migrate to using a different driver.

Apache Spark SQL

To access data with the connector for Apache Spark SQL, install one of the other supported drivers. See the system requirements.

1. Install the new driver on all computers where you will access the data in Spotfire.

You do not need to edit your data connections in Spotfire when you change drivers.

MongoDB

To access data from MongoDB in Spotfire, use the connector for MySQL with the ODBC driver for MongoDB Connector for BI. See the system requirements.

1. Install the MongoDB Connector for BI driver on all computers where you will access data from MongoDB in Spotfire.
2. In a Spotfire installed client, create a new data connection to your MongoDB data with the connector for MySQL (Connect to > MongoDB Connector for BI). Save
3. the data connection to the library, for reuse in all your analysis files.
4. Open the analysis file you need to update. On the Data canvas, replace your old MongoDB data source with data from your new connection in the library.

Apache Cassandra

To access data from Apache Cassandra, you must use a different driver.

1. After installing the new driver, create a new DSN for the data you need to access.
2. Share the DSN, and install the driver, on all computers where you will access the data in Spotfire.
3. In a Spotfire installed client, open the analysis file you need to update.
4. On the Data canvas, replace your old Apache Cassandra data source, and use Load data from ODBC, OLE DB, or ADO.NET data provider to connect to your new Apache Cassandra data DSN.
