Installing SPECTRUM Patches
When necessary, Aprisma issues software updates (“patches”) to existing
versions of SPECTRUM. Patches are supplied on a CD complete with the
SPECTRUM installer. Use the Component Selection Screen
[page 57] to
view the components to be installed. Each patch release includes a
software release notice that gives step-by-step installation instructions,
including those for relinking SPECTRUM components.
Installing SPECTRUM Advanced and Value-Added
Applications
If you purchased SPECTRUM advanced and value-added applications (add-
ons to the main SPECTRUM application), follow the installation instructions
included with each application.
Distributed and Fault-Tolerant SPECTRUM
Configurations
In addition to the basic types of installations, certain SPECTRUM
configurations require special planning or a particular sequence of
installation procedures.
If you are planning to install multiple SpectroSERVERs to manage different
portions of your network, refer to the Distributed SpectroSERVER
(9032770) guide before beginning your installation. Also see
SpectroSERVER Landscape Handle Requirements
[page 14]).
Important: If you plan to set up a distributed SpectroSERVER
configuration, perform model conversion before
partitioning your database (see Ensuring Database
Compatibility With Your Upgrade [page 85]).
SPECTRUM also supports a fault-tolerant configuration where one or more
SpectroSERVERs can function as standbys for a primary SpectroSERVER,
ready to take over management functions should the primary
SpectroSERVER become unavailable. This configuration has special
requirements and is discussed in detail in the section of the Distributed
SpectroSERVER (9032770) guide that covers fault tolerance.
