SPECTRUM Reports
General Operational Considerations
Item Description
1 When modifying an expression using the SPECTRUM Report Formatter, do not
remove any attributes located in columns before an expression column.
2 The summary portion in a Statistical report (using the Top ‘N’ field in the line data)
is based on the entire report, not just sorted data.
3 On Solaris, if scheduled reports are not occurring at their specified time, stop and
restart your cron daemon. Contact your system administrator for more details
regarding cron on your workstation.
4 Do not use the poll time fixed data type in an expression.
5 In Graphical Reports, if data cannot be obtained from a device or a model at a
specified time, the data for that time is graphed as 0.
6 In Graphical Reports, re-specifying a .GRF file is treated the same way as loading
a .GRF file. That is, if any options are stored in the .GRF file, they are reloaded
whenever a Respecify or Load is performed.
7 If you create an attribute with the Model Type Editor and want to place it in a report
header, you must set the Readable, Writable, and Database flags for that
attribute or it will be blank.
Corrected Anomalies
Item Description
1 In the SPECTRUM Report Formatter, when you try to add a Compute field at the end
of either the Line Data or Summary Data region, the data is no longer corrupted.
2 On Windows NT, when you preview the .rib file in the Report Formatter, the last
line no longer contains extra characters.
