Multiple analysis can be built by users that work with common data sets, or subsets of common data.
This causes multiple extracts of similar data from same source.
More BI tools are now leveraging in memory.
This request is to enable a data set to be defined as resident-in-memory and available to multiple web report developers to use.
e.g. Orders. Multiple users may need to build an order analytics, but should not have to extract similar data sets multiple times.
I believe if an analysis is copied, then that maye have the same GUID of tables and might be shared, but this is more of a hack than a solution.
Thanks for an excellent idea Dave.
I don't know if it is the raw data you want to share or a Spotfire data table used in one analysis? If it is the raw data you should be able to export the data from Spotfire to the Library. When on the Library all users can take advantage of that data. Each user can then decide if the data should be reloaded each time the analysis is opened or if the data should be store in the analysis.
