When a SPECTRUM 6.0 SpectroGRAPH is connected to a SPECTRUM 5.0
Rev x server, you see only the two ports of the link in the Information view
of a resolved pipe. Associated devices and their containers do not show.
Distributed Database Management (DDM)
If you are migrating from SPECTRUM 5.0 Rev x to SPECTRUM 6.0, the
6.0 DDM database can be larger than the EventDB and the StatDB
databases in prior releases. The disk space occupied by the DDM
database automatically increases when migrating from 5.0 Rev x to 6.0.
For this reason, Aprisma recommends that you reserve more disk space
for the 6.0 DDM database.
Reports
In the SPECTRUM 6.0 version of Reports, only Alarms, and Inventory
Reports run reliably against 5.0 Rev x SpectroSERVERS.
Statistical, Event, and UpDown reports will not function correctly against
a 5.0 Rev x SpectroSERVER.
SPECTRUM Data Export (SDE)
The 5.0rev1 version of SPECTRUM Data Export exports successfully from
the SPECTRUM 6.0 version of SpectroSERVER for all exports.
The SPECTRUM 6.0 version of SDE exports successfully from a 5.0Rev1
version of SpectroSERVER for all exports with the following exceptions: If
for Statistics or Events, the user chooses a range that includes multiple
start and end times (i.e., a Week or Month export), the export will succeed,
but the exported data only includes data from the first day of the range.
This occurs because SDE now uses a list of start and end times for a
Week and Month to allow particular start and end times for each day to be
specified.
