Problem 6: During an installation, SPECTRUM’s SpectroSERVER
Validation window allows you to type gibberish characters (in addition to
alpha-numeric) such as !@#&%&*()-=_+| and even 1999.9 in the
Activation Key, Expiration Date, and Landscape Handle boxes, without
pointing out that these entries are in error.
This could cause the installation to fail and/or SpectroSERVER not to start
correctly.
Solution: Be sure to use alpha-numeric characters in each box of the
SpectroSERVER Validation window with the exception of the Expiration
Date.
Problem 7: When installing only SpectroGRAPH on the Windows NT
platform, the SpectroSERVER Validation window displays.
Solution: No entries are required. Click, OK to dismiss the Validation
window and continue with the SpectroGRAPH installation.
Problem 8: When you migrate from SPECTRUM 4.0r3 to 6.0r1 on the
Windows NT platform, you receive the following error/warning in the
install_log indicating a locked file:
Detected existing ddm/StatDB, saving for later migration.
Saving Name Info
Saving Attribute and Time Data
Saving Statistical String Data
This installation needs to modify the SpectroSERVER database,
which is currently locked. Installation will automatically
resume when the database is unlocked. Instructions for
unlocking the database may be found in the Database Maintenance
section of the SPECTRUM AdministratorÕs Reference.
Installation suspended: SpectroSERVER database locked
Solution: When migrating from 4.0r3 to 5.x, perform the installation as
the local Administrator, or a member of the local Administrator’s group. If
you need to perform the install as a domain user, manually create the
dbsavefile.SSdb as a local Administrator before performing the
installation. For further assistance, please contact SPECTRUM Support.
