SpectroSERVER (VNM)
Corrected SpectroSERVER Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0
1 On the UNIX platform, fault tolerance and Online Backup no longer
fail.
2 On the Solaris platform, the Performance View along with other views
that are accessed from this view no longer utilizes an excessive
amount of cpu load that affects performance.
3 On the NT platform, fault tolerance and Online Backup no longer fail.
4 On the Solaris platform, when you shut down the SpectroSERVER
then re-start it, you no longer receive an error message.
5 User account names on the NT platform are not case sensitive. In
order for an NT user account name to be recognized by
SpectroSERVER running on NT, the NT user account name must
identically match the spelling and case of the SPECTRUM user name
in the SPECTRUM user account database. This information has been
added to the Security and User Maintenance documentation.
6 On the NT platform, if you execute the SSdbload program from the
command line a.VNMDB.LOCK file is no longer created in the SS
directory.
7 DDM now runs on a SQL server.
8 On systems with multiple CPUs, the cpu usage meters in the VNM
performance view are no longer confusing.
Note:
Note:
Database recovery is required following all segmentation faults
in SPECTRUM 6.0. Failure to do so could result in further
difficulties and database corruption.
