Installing the Address Now Module Database

Note: If you have Oracle environment variables set in your profile, these environment variables may interfere with DVD database loading processes. If you experience database loading problems and are using Oracle, check that the Oracle environment variables are not active when you perform the DVD database loads.
  1. Copy the liclcs.sbi license file provided by Pitney Bowes into the following directory: <SpectrumPlatformLocation>/server/modules/anow/license.
  2. Make sure that Spectrum™ Technology Platform is stopped. To stop Spectrum™ Technology Platform, change the working directory to the bin directory of where Spectrum™ Technology Platform is installed, then type the following command:
    ./server.stop
  3. Insert the database DVD containing the database(s) you want to install.
    Note: You must install the Postal databases if you want to use the Enhanced databases.
  4. If your system does not auto-mount the DVD, issue the appropriate mount command to indicate that the DVD device is a file system.

    If necessary, issue the /etc/filesystem command to update your system so that it recognizes this file system. Specify the correct device name for the DVD device on your system.

    Note: Your system must allow DVDs created under the ISO 9660 format to be mounted as a file system.
  5. Run the load_adn_db script inside <SpectrumPlatformLocation>/server/bin.
  6. Press <Enter> to accept the default location of the Address Now directory: <SpectrumPlatformLocation>/server/modules/anow. Do not change this path or the database will not install correctly.
  7. Follow the prompts as the script verifies your environment and database location. When prompted for the location of the Installation Media Directory, be sure to select the directory on the database DVD that contains the kbase folder.
  8. Start the Address Now server by going to <SpectrumPlatformLocation>/server/bin and running the start_adn_server script.
  9. Start the Spectrum™ Technology Platform by changing the working directory to the bin directory of where Spectrum™ Technology Platform is installed, then type the following command:
    ./server.start
