Installing Spectrum Global Addressing Management SPD Files

You must be a Spectrum Technology Platform administrator (admin) to perform this task. Before deleting data, verify that the data is not being used by a database resource in the Management Console.

To download and install a Spectrum Global Addressing Management database resource in the Spectrum Product Database (SPD) format:

Select and download your licensed SPD format files (xxx.spd) from the Precisely Data Experience site. If the download is a zip file, extract it to a temporary location.
Verify that the Spectrum Technology Platform server is running before you continue.
Open a Spectrum command line window.
Connect to the Spectrum Technology Platform server by typing this command:
```
connect --h servername:port --u username --p password --s TrueOrFalse
```
If your Spectrum server requires a secure connection, set --s True. The default is False.
For example,
```
connect --h myserver:8080 --u admin --p myPassword1 --s False
```
Install the data to the Spectrum server by typing:
```
productdata install --f fileOrDirectory --w TrueOrFalse
```
To wait for the installation to complete, set --w True. To allow the installation to proceed in the background, set --w False. The default is False.
For example,
```
productdata install --f E:/GAM/GAE092019.spd --w False
```
If installing a Spectrum product with multiple .spd files, then use the folder path to the files. The command installs the data files that are in the folder and subfolders.
For example,
```
productdata install --f E:/GAM/GAV --w False
```
After you install the SPD files, see either Using Management Console to Create a Database Resource or Using CLI Commands to Create a Database Resource to define the database as a resource.

For more information about the Product Data specific CLI commands, see Product Data under Administration Utility in the Spectrum Technology Platform Administration Guide.
