How to find geocoding tables in various TIBCO Spotfire Installations.

To display data on a Spotfire map, the data must be "geocoded". This involves matching the data to location identifiers in a set of data tables that are known as a geocoding hierarchy. These geocoding tables must be imported into the library before they can be used. Below are the detail steps:

For TIBCO Spotfire Analyst: 1) Copy the file <Spotfire Server installation kit>/geoanalytics/geoanalytics.part0.zip to the library folder that is used for importing and exporting files. (By default, this is <server installation directory>/tomcat/application-data/library.)
2) Log in to Spotfire Analyst as a Spotfire Administrator or Library Administrator.
3) Click Tools > Library Administration.
4) Click Import and then browse to and select the file geoanalytics.part0.zip.
5) Select Destination Folder and click on "OK" button, wait for the dialog to display the words "Import done", and then click Close.

For TIBCO Spotfire Desktop: From Spotfire 7.5 Desktop and later, there are 2 type of installers i.e. normal installer and machine installer.

A) Normal Installer: The default geocoding tables are located in the folder:

C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\TIBCO\Spotfire Desktop\<version number>\Example Data\Geocoding Data\

B) Machine Installer:  If you have installed the "machine" version of Spotfire Desktop, the locally Stored Geocoding tables are located in the folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\TIBCO\Spotfire Desktop\<version number>\Example Data\Geocoding Data
