SYSTEM ISSUES
7. Known Problems
The following is a list of known problems, which will be rectified, in future releases of
Sitespan.
7.1. Database Translation:
7.1.1. Translation instructions - After step 3 in the translation process, there
may be two severs open (one source and one destination server).
The instructions may potentially be confusing to the user.
Workaround - After step 3 of the translation process, the source
server should be disconnected and deleted from the base
directory of the hard drive (on which Sitespan Release 2.5 is
installed) before the destination server is started and connected
to the Sitespan Translation Client.
7.1.2. Lines not activated. - The translated database contains all subscriber
and configuration information. However the Lines are not activated.
Workaround - The lines can be activated on individual basis from the
Edit Subscriber menu. This problem shall be resolved in the next
issue.
7.2. Sublog Problems.
7.2.1. Delete function in Edit Sublog is misleading. Since it closes a named
log file (does not delete the log file). This function should be renamed
‘close’.
Workaround - None.
7.2.2. ‘Port’ drop-down sub-menu in Edit Sublog shows ports 1-4 to be
available for sub-logging. However all the communication ports (on
the PC and the Digi-board) should allow successful sub-logging.
Workaround – Reserve the PC ports for outputting Sublog
information if this facility is required.
7.3. Other Problems
7.3.1. Loop backs do not work from the Sitespan Client connected with the
translated database (created using tran1125.exe or tran2425.exe
utilities).
Workaround - The loop back on desired ST’s may be carried
out using either the Sitespan Release 2.5 (without any form of
database translation) by creating database for the required ST
