Normally you would see this on starting Spotfire Analyst for the first time with the Image Discovery extension installed. Through the command prompt a batch script OpenPort.bat reserves network ports 9251 to 9261 for Image Discovery:
C:\Program Files (x86)\TIBCO\Spotfire\VERSION\Modules\Image_Discovery_VERSION\OpenPort.bat
However if you do not have administrator permission the 'PortOpened' registry value that acts as a switch to run the OpenPort.bat remains in the 0/on position.
Older versions:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \SOFTWARE\PerkinElmer\ImageDiscovery\2.0\PortOpened
After Revvity rebranding (Signals Research Suite 24.3 or on prem VitroVivo 3.5)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \SOFTWARE\Signals\ImageDiscovery\2.0\PortOpened
PortOpened registry value (REG_DWORD) is switched off from 0 to 1 after running. But if your Windows user account does not allow a change to this registry key it will run each time you start Spotfire. If this is a problem first try:
Right click Spotfire.dxp.exe > Run as administrator
If the command prompt continues to appear on launch please raise with your IT team. It could be blocked by User Account Control (UAC) or by some other Security application.
Workaround:
Use the registry editor to set the value of the registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Signals\ImageDiscovery\2.0]
"PortOpened"=dword:00000001Removal:
As of Signals Research Suite version 24.4 the requirement to run Openport.bat has been removed. There are also plans to remove Openport.bat from the on-prem Vitrovivo product as of version 3.6 (SSC-7547).
Known problems:
You may encounter a problem with the OpenPort.bat script if Windows is using a language other than English. For instance when using a French language install the batch script will throw the error:
Create SDDL failed, Error: 1332. Paramètre incorrect.
In which case the Netshell command within above OpenPort.bat needs to be modified substituting user=Everyone
for
user="tout le monde"
