Special Requirements for NT Users
SPECTRUM Software Release Notes Page 69
Host Configuration strings are now easily editable by using
Cut/Copy/Paste operations along with the Find/Find Again tool.
• Global editing of Host Configuration Mask strings.
Mask strings can now be appended globally to selected configura-
tions.
• Latest configuration updates can now be overwritten.
A user preference can now be set such that when a selected configu-
ration is updated, the configuration’s latest version number remains
constant.
Special Requirements for NT Users
Scheduler Requirements
Because NT uses the Schedule Service (instead of the cron utility) to
schedule tasks, NT users should make sure these additional
requirements are met before using ECM’s Scheduler:
• The NT Schedule Service must be running in order for the Scheduler to
function. Set the Startup Type for the Schedule Service to “Automatic”
so that the Schedule Service is started automatically whenever the
computer is restarted.
• The Schedule Service must also log on with the proper User Account.
Be sure to specify that the Schedule Service logs on as a member of
either the Administrator’s group or the Backup Operator’s group. (Do
not specify the System Account—it cannot access the network.) Then
make sure the user or user group assigned to the Schedule Service is
also defined as a SPECTRUM user in SpectroGRAPH.
If you find that the Scheduler is not performing ECM tasks as scheduled,
check the NT Schedule Service Startup parameters. Even when these
Schedule Service parameters are incorrect, you can schedule ECM
operations — captures, loads, and verifications. The Scheduler, however,
will not be able to perform these operations.
