Installing Databases for Enterprise Geocoding and Global Geocoding Modules
International geocoding databases contain the data necessary to perform geocoding and reverse geocoding for locations outside the U.S. Each country has its own database, and some countries have optional databases that provide enhanced geocoding.
These databases are for use in the Global Geocoding and Enterprise Geocoding modules.
The SPD file is automatically extracted to:
SpectrumFolder/server/app/repository/datastorage
Once the database has been extracted to the datastorage folder, it is installed and you can define it as a database resource using Management Console. Find more information about Management Console in the Administration Guide.
You can modify the Spectrum database installation process if needed:
- You can change the location of the data import directory by altering the platform property in the SpectrumFolder/server/app/conf/dataimportdirectories.properties file.
- You can change the location of the data storage folder by altering the spectrum.data.manager.storage.directory property in the Data Manager settings section of the SpectrumFolder/server/app/conf/spectrum-container.properties file. Consider creating a storage folder outside of Spectrum so it will not be deleted when you uninstall Spectrum.
- By default, the SPD files are deleted after the files are extracted or when Spectrum is uninstalled. However, you can archive SPD files by setting the spectrum.data.manager.archive.data property to "true" in the Data Manager settings section of the SpectrumFolder/server/app/conf/spectrum-container.properties file.
- With any change to the properties files, you must stop and restart the Spectrum server.
AUS G-NAF
If you installed the Australia Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF), you must specify the GNAF123 and GNAF456 as separate paths but in the same database resource in Management Console.
