R Integration

To enable R connectivity:

1.     Download R, install it, and the R Console ( http://cran.rstudio.com/ )

2.     Open the R Console.

3.     Install Rserve using the following command from within the R Console:

install.packages("Rserve")

4.     Initiatiate the Rserve library using the following command:

library(Rserve)

5.     Run Rserve by executing the following command:

Rserve()

 

Only steps 2, 4 & 5 need to be repeated when R connectivity is required.

Example:

 

NOTE	Connectivity by default is over Port 6311.

 

To enable authentication across the Rserve TCP/IP link

q  create a password file (pwdfile.pwd)

Each line of the file should have the user and then the password.

Example:

user1 password1

user2 password2

q  Create a configuration file with following parameters (rconfig.conf)

auth required

pwdfile [path of password file]   

Example:

remote enable

auth required

port 6311

pwdfile C:\\RIntegration\\pwdfile.pwd

q  load the created configuration file (the default Rserve configuration file is still loaded, but its settings have lower priority) and run Rserve:

Rserve(args="--RS-conf [path of configuration file]")

Example:

Rserve(args="--RS-conf C:\\RIntegration\\rconfig.conf")
