When using TIBCO Data Virtualization, TIBCO Data Science, TIBCO EBX or any other application capable of accessing and processing data it would be very useful to be able to open a dataset or dataview visible in the application directly in Spotfire for further analysis. A pre-requisite for this is an API and a protocol that the other application can use to open Spotfire, provide it with data or data connection information and create a new analysis with the data.
