SpectroSERVER (VNM)
SPECTRUM’s design is based on a client/server model. The server, SpectroSERVER
(or VNM – Virtual Network Machine), includes the SPECTRUM database and provides
security, modeling capabilities, and device management facilities. SpectroSERVER
supports a suite of client applications through its Application Program Interface
(SSAPI). The first client application you will see when you start SPECTRUM is
SpectroGRAPH.
Known SpectroSERVER Anomalies in
SPECTRUM 6.0.2
Problem 1: On the NT platform, SPECTRUM will not recognize NT user
accounts even though they exist in the SPECTRUM User Database.
Solution: Ensure that the SPECTRUM user name and NT account name
are spelled identically and have the same case.
Problem 2: SPECTRUM 6.0 does not log External List-type Attributes that
have an OID Reference. If you have set the Logged flag in the Model Type
Editor for an Attribute that has the External flag set (that is a List-type
with an OID Reference) you cannot access data for the Attribute using Data
Export, Reports, or a GIB Graph.
Solution: Create a SpectroWATCH for the Attribute that simply logs the
value of the Attribute. Then use the Watch’s destination Attribute ID in
place of the original Attribute’s ID in any Report, Data Export definition, or
GIB graph. Alternatively, you can use the Model Type Editor to create an
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.
