Pre-requisites

Spectrum Spatial Analyst requires Spectrum Technology Platform versions 2018.2 with the Location Intelligence Module to be installed and licensed.

Spectrum should already be installed and working and be accessible to the server on which Spectrum Spatial Analyst is being installed. Analyst can also be deployed to the same server as Spectrum if desired (subject to server requirements).

Note: In both cases we recommend Spectrum is fully patched.

Note: The upgrade installer for Spectrum Spatial Analyst 2018.2 will only upgrade from versions 12.2. Customers who are migrating from previous versions of Analyst will need to upgrade to 12.2.

For more information about installation of Spectrum refer to:

Note: The LIM module needs a license file to be applied after Spectrum is installed and before it can be used by Spectrum Spatial Analyst.

Spectrum Spatial Analyst 2018.2 also supports the new Spectrum map uploader. Whilst the older uploader can be used, it is recommended that all customers upgrade to using the new version of the uploader to make use of full support for label layers and layer friendly names.

Note: The new uploader requires MapInfo Professional 16.0 64-bit version to run.

Once Spectrum is installed you will as a minimum need to create one named connection in Spectrum using the Spectrum Spatial Manager. The named connection is used by the map uploader to locate the data referenced in the map uploader. Spectrum Spatial Manager can be accessed from the Spectrum landing page under Spectrum Spatial > Utilities > Spatial Manager. The Map Uploader can be downloaded from Spectrum Spatial > Utilities > Map Uploader.
