Known Data Export Anomalies in SPECTRUM
6.5
Problem 1: An error may occur if several models are selected from
multiple landscapes and re-selecting the Events filter box. You receive the
error message, “Unable to obtain any models from all preferred
landscapes.”
Solution: Aprisma is aware of this problem and is assessing it.
Problem 2: When you perform an export using a UNIX based Oracle server
and Windows NT as the client the export completes but you are unable to
view the table even though the table exists in the database. Since the
Oracle server is on UNIX and the client is on Windows NT, this becomes a
heterogeneous environment when a homogenous environment is needed.
You receive an error message that says:
“Error checking path homogeneity
ORA-02352: Direct path connection must be homogeneous”
Solution: Oracle exports in a heterogeneous environment (i.e., across
Windows NT and UNIX platforms) are not supported. Both the Oracle client
and Server must be the same platform (i.e., NT to NT or UNIX to UNIX). (An
NT client export to a UNIX server will work in Oracle 8 but not in Oracle 7.)
If the client and server are not of the same platform, you must use a
conventional path load... “Use conventional path load.” This is discussed
in Chapter 9, “Direct Path Loads” of the Oracle 7 Server Utility User’s
Guide.
Problem 3: Exports to Sybase on the Windows NT platform fail because
the 10.0 /10.0.3 versions of Sybase Open Client do not correctly handle
the syntax, “! !”, on Windows NT.
Solution: Aprisma recommends that you upgrade to Sybase Open Client,
Release 11.
Problem 4: When trying to export to SAS, it fails with error messages. A
syntax error in the SAS autoexec.sas, and config.sas files, can cause
these messages. Examples of the messages are:
