Allow Open Source R / Microsoft R Open as an engine in TIBCO Spotfire Analyst (and TSSS)

Most important benefit is package management and extensibility. Having two R installations on the same machine is an inconvenience.

      I feel having the option to run R-Open Source under TSSS is more than enough in terms of web player functionality, that infrastructure exist and is fine. Now, if users are able to point the data functions to the local R-Open Source engine, there could be some performance benefits as compared to running R Open Source through TSSS, these gains could be at risk for users wanting to use R instead of TERR while running the analyst on the local environment. Regardless, I think there is value on having the option to point the data functions to run under either TERR or R Open source locally.

      Thanks for the comments, Dmytro, and it was good to talk with you about this at EARL London in Sept. 

      While TERR is widely used with and within TIBCO products (including Spotfire, Streambase, BE and GridServer), I do understand some customers would prefer to work with open source R. We do support integration with OS R (as well as SAS and MATLAB) through TSSS, and have considered providing direct, local integration with Spotfire clients as well. 

      I'd be very interested in hearing from other customers about this as well.

    Statistics Services - needs a config param for default TERR on/off

    We use open source R for statistics, not TERR for a number of reasons. There needs to be a configuration setting whereby we can turn TERR on or off completely in favor of open source R. Right now all new client deployments are defaulted to TERR, a...
