CS3 Known Anomalies
CS3 Software Characteristics Software Release Notice for 5.0rev1
3-8 CS3 and MMS3
6. The ability of a FanOut and/or Unplaced model to provide alarms
on their connected port's status was removed from SPECTRUM
5.0rev1. The present workarounds for this problem are:
a. Create SpectroWatches that would generate an alarm if either
the ifOper or ifAdmin status of the port was other than 1.
b. Turn Live Pipes on for the links of the monitored interfaces
and change the filter in the Alarm Manager to show
Maintenance alarms. When an interface goes down, the pipe
will turn BROWN and the interface gets a BROWN alarm.
The previous ability of a FanOut and/or Unplaced model to
provide alarms on their connected port's status will be re-
engineered and introduced in a future SPECTRUM release.
7. The Create_Sub_Interfaces attribute is set to TRUE for device
models that possess subinterfaces. Therefore, subinterface models
will be modeled and visible in the DevTop view of SPECTRUM. It
should be set to FALSE so that an over abundance of models are
not created and the view is not presented in a confusing manner.
This problem will be addressed in a future SPECTRUM release.
8. If contact is lost to a device that has CSIIfPorts, the port model
will turn BLACK and the port model text will be deleted. This is
because the switch statement is set to revert to the Iib default
when contact is lost. In a future release of SPECTRUM, the port
model will no longer turn BLACK when contact is lost to a device
that has CSIIfPorts. Instead, the banner of the view will indicate
the contact status and the port model will remain the way it was
when contact was lost.
9. Pipes and links are not automatically made by SPECTRUM if a
model is meant to connect to another model outside and higher
than itself in a hierarchy. However, SPECTRUM has no problem
automatically drawing pipes and links from one model to another
deeper than itself in a hierarchy. In a future release of
SPECTRUM, pipes and links will be automatically drawn by
SPECTRUM in both cases.
10. When SPECTRUM is built and run on Solaris 2.5.1 with the 4.0
C++ compiler, SpectroSERVER will core dump when the number
of permitted characters is exceeded in a SpectroWatch expression.
There are no plans to address this in SPECTRUM 5.0rev1. Future
