TIBCO Spotfire Server not able to start with error "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/tibco/as/space/ASException"


Solution:

https://docs.tibco.com/pub/spotfire_server/7.11.1/doc/html/TIB_sfire_server_tsas_admin_help/GUID-2432DDFD-4517-43BC-9325-96C926523EEA.htmlAfter upgrading from version 7.5 or higher to a newer version, you may come across an issue where the Spotfire server does not start successfully. In the TIBCO Spotfire Server's server.log, the following is seen:

Ensure the as-common.jar (for ActiveSpaces) is copied correctly and only once to the <Spotfire Server install dir>\tomcat\webapps\spotfire\WEB-INF\lib folder on each server machine.
