Corrected and Known Anomalies This section lists the known irregularities or anomalies that have been corrected since the previous revision of SPECTRUM and current known anomalies. Corrected and known anomalies are listed under the particular core, application, management module or toolkit component with which the anomaly is associated.Miscellaneous issues may also be included.
PAGE 40
Alarm Notification Manager (SANM) SPECTRUM Alarm Notification Manager (SANM) enhances the functionality of SANMcompatible, SPECTRUM-client applications that respond in various ways (e-mail notifications, trouble tickets, etc.) to alarms generated by SPECTRUM. SANM’s Policy Administrator, an alarm filter configuration tool, enables you to specify and associate alarm notification policies with applications.

Problem 3: On Windows NT, users selected to receive e-mail notification data may not receive e-mail. The users’ login IDs are used by default to identify to whom notification data is sent.
PAGE 43
Enterprise Alarm Manager Alarm Manager and Enterprise Alarm Manager provide the user with a dynamic view of SpectroSERVER alarms. If your network is modeled using a distributed SpectroSERVER, you may have several landscape icons in SpectroGRAPH, each representing its own SpectroSERVER. You can opt to view all or some of these landscapes in EAM. Corrected Alarm Manager Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0.

E n te r p r is e A l a r m M a n a g e r Kn o w n A la r m M a n a g e r A n o m a lie s in S P EC TR U M 6 . 0 . 3 Problem 2: On the Windows NT platform, the Auto Raise option does not bring the Alarm Manager to the front when a new alarm is created. Solution: This problem will be corrected in a future release of SPECTRUM.
PAGE 45
E n te r p r is e A l a r m M a n a g e r Kn o w n A la r m M a n a g e r A n o m a lie s in S P EC TR U M 6 . 0 . 3 Problem 6: Currently, alarm IDs may not be unique during a single runtime session of SpectroSERVER. One possible outcome could be when you attempt to clear one alarm, a different alarm is cleared instead. Solution: The chance that this problem will occur is very low. This problem will be corrected in a future release of SPECTRUM.

Solution: This problem will be addressed in a future release of SPECTRUM. Problem 16: On Windows NT, applications can appear to be frozen if you post a menu while an error dialog is displayed.
PAGE 48
E n te r p r is e A l a r m M a n a g e r Kn o w n A la r m M a n a g e r A n o m a lie s in S P EC TR U M 6 . 0 . 3 Problem 19: On the Windows NT and 2000 platforms, if you submit a trouble ticket on an alarm to Remedy, no trouble ticket is submitted. In addition, no error message of any kind is generated. This is occurring because the Remedy libraries are not found by the Alarm Manager.
PAGE 49
AR System Gateway The AR System Gateway provides you with many tools for managing network problems. The timely resolution of problems and service requests is one of the fundamental requirements of a network management system. The AR System Gateway provides the tools to efficiently detect, track, and resolve these network problems and service requests.

If your network configuration differs from these defaults, make sure you use the reconfig tool to perform the steps described in the SPECTRUM AR System Gateway User’s Guide. • If more than one model/device has the same IP address, the DevTop View displayed in Show SPECTRUM View may not be the device for which the trouble ticket was generated.
PAGE 51
A R S y s t e m Ga te w a y N e t w o r k C o n f ig u r a t i o n R e q u i r e m e n t s • The arsgated does not read changes in the .arsgrc dynamically. On the Solaris platform, to have the arsgated reread the .arsgrc, you can send a “kill -USR1 ” signal (from a script, for example). This will cause the arsgated to reread both the .arsgrc and .filterc files. You can get the pid from the .arspid file, where the arsgated writes it at startup. If the arsgated is not running, then the pid is 0.

See the SPECTRUM AR System Gateway User’s Guide for instructions on how to use the reconfig tool. If you change the AR System Server that you plan to run against, be sure to modify the /etc/ar (or on NT, the ar file in the AR System Gateway folder, that is, $SPECROOT\ars_gateway\ar) with the new AR System Server name.
PAGE 54

This is due to the arguments not being passed to the arsgated.demon. Solution: This is being fixed in a later release.
PAGE 55
Annotation Toolbox The Annotation Toolbox, allows you to edit SPECTRUM views by adding lines, circles, boxes, and text. The toolbox provides several graphic tools to enhance a view’s background by adding extra graphics or text. Known Toolbox Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0.
PAGE 56
AutoDiscovery AutoDiscovery is SPECTRUM’s automatic topology mapping facility. AutoDiscovery offers three Discovery Methods: • IP List maps a discovered device's IP address to a physical (MAC) address.When this method is used, AutoDiscovery will attempt to contact and identify only those devices at the IP addresses you specify when you create the configuration. • Range uses ICMP echo requests (pings) to test each of the IP addresses within the range or ranges you specify in the IP Address Ranges panel.

Problem 5: When performing a router discovery, switches which are connected to Cisco routers are found in addition to the Cisco routers.
PAGE 59
Command Line Interface (CLI) The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides access to the SpectroSERVER in situations where it is not possible or not desirable to use the SpectroGRAPH graphical user interface. One such situation is the use of a character-based terminal to remotely access the SpectroSERVER. Known CLI Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0.3 Problem 1: When using the “-a” switch (create event alarm), it can sometimes take longer for the event to appear in the event list.
PAGE 60
Control Panel (CPanel) The SPECTRUM Control Panel is a convenient Point and Click interface that provides facilities that let you configure SPECTRUM resources, start and stop SpectroSERVER, start SpectroGRAPH, perform database administration and maintain your SPECTRUM installation. Known CPanel Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0.
PAGE 61
Data Export Data Export extracts archived events and statistics data from SPECTRUM DDM (Distributed Data Manager) databases and current data for object entities stored in VNM databases. Data Export converts extracted data to the output format that you specify — either ASCII, SAS, Oracle, or SQL. Data Export connects to a single SpectroSERVER in a distributed server environment and can extract data from any of the landscapes registered with that SpectroSERVER.
PAGE 62
Data Export K n o w n D a t a Ex p o r t A n o m a lie s in S P EC TR U M 6 . 0 . 3 Problem 2: When you export using a UNIX based Oracle server and Windows NT as the client the export completes but you are unable to view the table even though the table exists in the database. Since the Oracle server is on UNIX and the client is on NT, this becomes a heterogeneous environment when a homogenous environment is needed.

Data Export K n o w n D a t a Ex p o r t A n o m a lie s in S P EC TR U M 6 . 0 . 3 export contains models with names longer than the previous default, the export will likely fail with an Oracle error indicating that the insert value was too large for the column. Solution: Manually drop the existing table and then perform the export. This will establish the column width to the value specified in the dtxscript.
PAGE 64
Event Configuration Editor(ECE) The Event Configuration Editor ECEditor) allows creation, deletion, modification, and browsing of the following information in SPECTRUM: Alert Map, Event Disposition, Event Format, and Alarm Probable Cause files. Known ECE Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0.3 Problem 1: When you edit EventDisp to allow an alarm or log an event on just one model type, the change you made for one vendor becomes true for many vendors.
PAGE 65
Enterprise Configuration Manager (ECM) Enterprise Configuration Manager (ECM) is an application that enables customers to monitor, document, troubleshoot, and control the configuration of network devices. New Features • Runtime selection of models or model types. You no longer have to exit and restart ECM to work with different models or model types. • Selective writing to RAM or NVRAM on Cisco routers. You now can selectively copy the host configuration of Cisco routers to RAM, or commit it to NVRAM.
