Installing Global Addressing Module 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 Global Addressing Module database resource in the Spectrum™ Product Database (SPD) format:

Select and download your licensed SPD format files (xxx.spd) from Pitney Bowes using the link provided in the Pitney Bowes communication or from the Pitney Bowes Software and Data Marketplace (SDM). 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.
