    Automatic Retries When Statistics Servers Are Too Busy to Respond to Status Requests

    When the Spotfire Analyst client or a Spotfire Web Player sends a job request to a Stats server, it polls the server every 10 seconds. If it doesn't hear back from it in 10 seconds, it kills the job. We think that it would be better behavior if it...

    Allow query results to be cached in-memory on Server

    This is different than our normal caching. We want to offer ways to store query results in memory on the server for high-speed / low-latency interaction with the data.

    Support for Azure Cosmos DB as a data source

    Provide support for Azure Cosmos DB as a data source. Caching and data ship are out of scope initially. Please indicate in the comments if that is desired.

    add hint in SQL SELECT to explicitly choose which table to data-ship to which data source

    At the moment there is a hint to suppress data-ship within a query. I do miss a hint to explicitly tell the TDV engine which table (or view) he must ship to another database (and which database). Reason: in some situations TDV does make decisions ...

    Add Dataship options for DB2 z/OS (Type 4) sources

    Please add Dataship options for DB2 z/OS (Type 4) sources. I took contact with Tibco support but they can't help. It's old type of database but still in use. Technically dataship have to be possible. In the Advance connection tab, I don’t see opti...

    Support for Apache Arrow Flight

    In order to send large amounts of data from TDV to an client-application, we think it would be beneficial to consider to add a more optimized, yet standardized transport format as an alternative to xDBC.
