SPECTRUM Installation Program
Software Release Notes Page 98
Problem 23: On Windows NT, if the DISPLAY environment variable is set,
the eXceed server (eXceed 6.2) will not start automatically causing
SpectroGRAPH and other X applications not to start.
Solution: Aprisma is in progress of debugging this problem for a solution.
Problem 24: On Solaris 2.7 platform, when you upgrade in place from
SPECTRUM 5.0rev1with CS3 MMS3 to SPECTRUM 6.0, the installation
fails because the SpectroSERVER and Archive Manager were never run
prior to the migration. You receive the error message,
** Error during Creation of DDM database save file
The ddm_save program fails to save a database which never had data
archived to it. Users normally do not migrate empty databases.
Solution: If migration of the current DDM landscape handle is not
possible, instead of initializing the DDM database prior to the migration
installation, simply delete the whole DDM directory. To delete the DDM
directory, navigate to the install directory and type:
rm -rf SS/DDM
The SPECTRUM 6.0 installation will initialize the DDM database without
attempting to perform a ddm_save. Run the previous release of
SPECTRUM long enough to populate the DDM database with some events
or statistics, then shutdown and perform the migration installation.
Aprisma is investigating the root causes of this problem.
Problem 25: On Solaris 2.7 platform, when you upgrade in place from
SPECTRUM 5.0rev1with CS3 MMS3 to SPECTRUM 6.0 and the DDM
database fails to install, if you move the DDM directory to DDM_old, click
the Cancel button and continue the installation, the installation will
segmentation fault.
Solution: Aprisma is investigating the root causes of this problem.
