Found In Egroup: Spectrum Technology Platform \ view thread
The Global Geocoding Module (GGM) documentation on help.precisely.com is only in French, no matter which language I choose.Any chance we can get this fixed. Opportune time to consider the virtues of having PDF documentation available to users. I've been without documentation for a week! See https: ...

We have long used a cron job to test if Spectrum server is running and start Spectrum if necessary. It has worked for many versions, including 2020.1.0. It no longer works in 2023.1.0 (I don't know about 2022.1.0 -- we never installed that version). Imagine a bash script that contains . ./setup ...

For example, let's say we're installing on RHEL 7. The soft nofile setting suggested for limits.conf is 65536. Are you saying we should run the command ulimit –n 65536 ? ------------------------------ Dave Carlson ------------------------------

We're preparing for a Spectrum platform 2023.1 installation. The installation guide says this: For Linux systems, a minimum value for file descriptors is required. Review the current Installation Guide for recommended settings. This can be set by running the ulimit command: ulimit –n limitsetting ...

Thanks to Precisely support for a quick response. I had downloaded and installed the wrong database versions. I had downloaded Version 2019.1.0 of each dataset, as I had done in the past. What I needed to do was go to Past Versions (?!) in data.precisely.com and download the following: DPV Split ...

Requirement for Microsoft TrueType font on Linux systems

I'm looking at the requirements for Spectrum 2023.1 on Linux and am surprised to see that we're required to install Microsoft TrueType fonts. Is this really necessary for all Spectrum users, or just for Spectrum Spatial users? Has anyone successfully installed Spectrum 2023.1 without installing the TrueType ...

Are you 100% certain that a CASS Cycle O update will be available for Linux for 2020.1? My fear is that we're going to get a surprise announcement that all UAM Linux users will need to upgrade their Spectrum version to continue using the software because no CASS update is available. We're already past ...

I'm disappointed this hasn't gained traction. I'd even settle for a text file that contains the paths of all the files I need to back up. PDFs stink. ------------------------------ Dave Carlson ------------------------------

I love this idea in general. Whenever I'm backing up or removing files with Spectrum patches, I always think "there should be a script for this!" All it would need is a parameter for your Spectrum home directory (SpectrumDirectory in patch release notes parlance). ------------------------------ Dave ...
