Installing Validate Address AUS Databases

This procedure describes how to install databases used by the Validate Address AUS stage.

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. Download the database from the Pitney Bowes Software eStore using the link provided in the release announcement or welcome email.
  2. The database is downloaded as a zip file. Unzip the database before proceeding with the installation.
  3. Change the working directory to the bin directory where Spectrum™ Technology Platform is installed.
  4. Source the "setup" shell script to set up the environment by typing the following command:
    . ./setup
  5. Run the script for installing the database by typing this command:

    ./installdb_unc

  6. Follow the prompts as the script verifies your environment and database location.
    Note: You may install databases on a network share, but performance will be affected since you will be accessing them on a network rather than accessing them locally.
