Installing the Database Files

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. If the database that you are installing is larger than 2 GB, type the following two commands:
    • export LARGE_FILE_LIMIT_2TB=1
    • export USE_LARGE_FILE_API=1
  3. Change the working directory to the bin directory of where Spectrum™ Technology Platform is installed.
  4. Type the following to source the setup script:
    ../setup
  5. Run the database install script installdb_gsl.
    The GeoTAX Database Installation Menu displays.
  6. Enter the number of the database you want to install.
    Note: For Point Data, enter the number for the GeoTAX master files.
  7. Follow the instructions provided in the script.
    Note: You may install databases on a mapped drive, but performance will be affected since you will be accessing them on a network rather than accessing them locally.
    Note: If you are installing a User-defined Boundary file, the filename is name- and case-sensitive and should be specified as usr.txb.
  8. In Management Console, open the Enterprise Tax Module database resource tool and define a database resource that includes the database you just installed. Be sure to update Assign GeoTAX Info and Reverse GeoTAX Info Lookup to use the new database resource.
