Corrected and Known Anomalies
SPECTRUM Reports
Software Release Notes Page 111
Problem 6: On the NT platform, colors on Up/Down Time report pie
graphs that have small percentages of uptime or downtime may not appear
correctly (either no color appears or colors are inverted).
Solution: This is not a problem with SPECTRUM Reports but rather with
a defect with Neuron Data (their defect #10660).
Problem 7: On the NT platform, colors on Alarm report pie graphs may not
appear correctly or may be obscured. For example, pie pieces are colored
over by other pie pieces when values are close to zero (0).
Solution: This is not a problem with SPECTRUM Reports but rather a
limitation of Neuron Data.
Problem 8: The Rib Editor previewer goes blank after a few minutes. In
addition, when you try to load another file, the file selection box will not let
you change directories; clicking OK then causes the Rib Editor to exit.
Solution: This problem will be corrected in a future release of SPECTRUM.
Problem 9: On the Windows NT platform, a user who is not a member of
the Administrator’s group cannot run the NT Scheduler. This is a
restriction of Microsoft’s NT Schedule Service.
Solution: When Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 is installed on your PC,
the Windows NT 4.0 Schedule Service (Atsvc.exe) is upgraded to the Task
Scheduler Service (mstask.exe), which enables you to assign different user
accounts to run scheduled tasks.
Problem 10: On a Windows NT SpectroGRAPH that is running against a
Solaris SpectroSERVER, if you try to start the Report Generator, the
executable starts and tries to appear but then blinks and fails to start.
Solution: Add the remote server’s landscape handle in the
*PreferredLandscapes handle found in the Reports file located in:
$SPECROOT/app-defaults/Reports. Scroll down to
*PreferredLandscapes and add the remote server’s landscape handle.
