is 5.0.1 (with CS2 and MMS2) or earlier, contact your Aprisma support or
sales representative for information on upgrading.
Compatibility Between SPECTRUM Releases
Using new versions of SpectroGRAPH and other client applications with an
older version of SpectroSERVER is not supported. You may, however,
connect to a newer version of SpectroSERVER from older clients. When
upgrading in a distributed SpectroSERVER environment, upgrade all
SpectroSERVERs before upgrading SpectroGRAPHs to ensure connections
are maintained.
Upgrading in Place
An in-place upgrade installs a new version of SPECTRUM directly over an
earlier version on the same workstation, in the same directory. Additional
steps are required for preserving existing SPECTRUM databases and other
upgradeable components resident in the older version. For instructions on
performing an in-place upgrade, see In-Place Upgrade (Solaris)
[page 29]
or In-Place Upgrade (Windows)
[page 36].
Migrating and Upgrading
Use this procedure to migrate your existing SPECTRUM databases and
other upgradeable components to a different directory or workstation, and
then install SPECTRUM as part of the upgrade. This allows you to continue
managing your network with the older version of SPECTRUM during the
installation process. For instructions on performing a migration and
upgrade, see Migration and Upgrade (Solaris)
[page 30] or Migration and
Upgrade (Windows) [page 37].
Important: You cannot move an installed SPECTRUM area from
one workstation to another, or from one directory
to another. The correct procedure is to copy or
move the SPECTRUM database first and run the
SPECTRUM installation program to install
SPECTRUM over the relocated database.
Preserving Database Customizations
The installation program creates backup copies of existing SPECTRUM
resource files in your Spectrum/app-defaults directory, preserving a
record of any customizations you may have made (see When Installation Is
Complete [page 73]).
