Data Setup

Overview of how to set up Spectrum Product Database (SPD) files in the Spectrum Technology Platform.

SPD data for EGM and Interactive is extracted to a location on your system and configured for use. There is no installation in the traditional sense. The procedure differs depending on your version of the Precisely Spectrum.

Spectrum version 2019.1 or greater uses Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to manage (install, extract, archive, or delete) product data. See Setting up SPD databases for Spectrum 2019.1 or greater.

Spectrum versions 2018.2, 12.2 and 12.1 provide an extraction and configuration using the Management Console. See Setting up SPD databases for Spectrum 2018.2 and v12.x.

Saving Databases

Be aware that any data folders under a Spectrum installation will be removed when Spectrum is uninstalled. To retain the data for future use, consider archiving the SPD in a location outside of the Spectrum installation. To do this, set the spectrum.data.manager.archive.data property to true located in the \server\app\conf\spectrum-container.properties.

You can also change the data repository location by providing a path in spectrum.data.manager.storage.directory.

Using Older Datasets From 12.0 and Earlier

If you upgrade to 12.1 or 12.2, you can use database resources from earlier versions of Spectrum. The legacy database resources will be visible in the Management Console and available for use alongside any new data you installed. If you decide you don't want the legacy datasets associated with the database resource, in Management Console's Spectrum Database page, select the database resource and click Modify. From the Edit Database page, clear the checkbox next to the dataset(s) you no longer want in the database. The legacy datasets will no longer be available.
