Disk Space

New Installation Upgrade
  • The disk where you are installing Spectrum™ Technology Platform must have 5 GB of free space to install all modules, less if installing fewer modules.
  • The disk where the temp folder is located must have at least 10 GB of free space for the installation to extract the files it needs. You may need more depending on the options you are installing. If necessary, modify your TEMP environment variable (Windows) or IATEMPDIR environment variable (Unix and Linux) to point to a location with enough space.
  • The disk where you are installing Spectrum™ Technology Platform must have free disk space equal to three times the size of your current installation. To determine the size of your current installation, look at the size of the folder where you installed Spectrum™ Technology Platform.
  • If you are adding modules as part of your upgrade, you will need 3 GB to install all modules, less if installing fewer modules.
  • The disk where the temp folder is located must have 10 GB of free space plus four times the size of your current installation. For example, if your current installation is 5 GB, you would need 30 GB of temp space: (4 x 5 GB) + 10 GB = 30 GB. If necessary, modify your TEMP environment variable (Windows) or IATEMPDIR environment variable (Unix and Linux) to point to a location with enough space.
Note: If you are installing a module that uses a reference database, such as a postal database, geocoding database, or data normalization tables, you will need space for this data. The total disk space varies, depending on which modules and databases you are installing.

Memory

  • Basic memory requirement: 16 GB
  • The Enterprise Geocoding Module requires an additional 500 MB memory for the first non-U.S. geocoder, and 250 MB for each additional non-U.S. geocoder, with these exceptions:
    • Germany, Australia, and the U.K. each require 1 GB additional memory
    • Japan requires 2 GB additional memory
  • The Data Normalization Module and Universal Name Module require additional memory if you use these name databases:
    • Arabic Plus Pack: 5.5 GB
    • Asian Plus Pack - Chinese: 32 MB
    • Asian Plus Pack - Japanese: 1.6 GB
    • Asian Plus Pack - Korean: 8 MB
    • Core Names: 1.1 GB
  • The Machine Learning Module requires an additional 1 GB memory.

Additional Requirements

  • For all Unix and Linux systems, a minimum of 8192 file descriptors is required. This can be set by running the ulimit command:

    ulimit –n 8192

    Note: Do not set ulimit to unlimited. Doing so may cause issues with system resources and security alerts that will cause the installation to fail.
  • The file size limit needs to be set to 2 GB in order to install Spectrum™ Technology Platform. To set the file size limit, use the ulimit command:

    ulimit -f 4194304

    This is only required to run the installer. It is not required to run Spectrum™ Technology Platform after installation.

  • For IBM AIX systems only, you must download and install Java 8, both the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version, before installing Spectrum™ Technology Platform. If you do not have Java 8 installed, download and install it from:

    www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/aix/service.html

  • Windows administrator rights are required to install Spectrum™ Technology Platform
  • In order to use the enhanced system tray notification application the server must have .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (also known as 3.5.1) or higher. Windows Server 2008 comes with a limited version of .NET Framework 3.5. You need install the full .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows Server 2008. Later versions of Windows Server come with the required version of .NET Framework.

Requirements for the Address Now Module

  • Red Hat and SUSE Linux: 512 MB RAM, gcc compiler, and library version 4.1.2
  • Sun Solaris: At least an UltraSparc processor with a speed of at least 400 MHz and at least 512 MB RAM, gcc compiler, and library version 3.3
