SPECTRUM Installation Program
Known Installation Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.5
SPECTRUM Software Release Notice Page 58
Problem 3: When you run host_eval on Windows NT with a foreign
operating system, you receive a message warning that you have a missing
operating system patch and to contact your system administrator to
correct the problem. This warning appears when host_eval fails to detect
either Service Pack 5 or 6.
Solution: Service Packs 5 or 6a are required to run SPECTRUM.
Problem 4: On the Solaris platform, SPECTRUM cannot be installed in the
/opt/SPECTRUM directory.
Solution: This problem will be addressed in a future release of
SPECTRUM.
Problem 5: On the Windows NT platform, you are not allowed to perform
an installation into a directory that contains a space.
Solution: This problem will be addressed in a future release of
SPECTRUM.
Problem 6: On Solaris 2.7 platform, when you upgrade in place from
SPECTRUM 5.0rev1with CS4 MMS4 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: (1) 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.
-or-
(2) 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.
