productdata list
Geocoding databases contain the data necessary to perform geocoding and reverse geocoding for locations. Each country has its own database, and some countries have optional databases that provide enhanced geocoding.
These databases are for use in the Global Geocoding or Enterprise Geocoding modules.
Note: Do not install geocoding datasets on a network drive. Doing so can cause
performance problems.
- Select and download your licensed SPD files (xxx.spd) from Pitney Bowes using the link provided in the Pitney Bowes communication or from the Pitney Bowes Software and Data Marketplace.
- The database is downloaded as a zip file. Unzip the database before proceeding with the installation.
-
Install the SPD files:
- At this point the data will become available and you can add it as a Spectrum™ database resource in the Spectrum™ Databases section of Management Console.
- After you install the database files, use either the Database Resource tool in the Management Console or the Administration Utility database commands to define the database as a resource.
-
After the SPD files are extracted and are no longer needed, use the CLI
commands to delete the SPD files. Do not manually delete the SPD files from the
location where the server extracted the SPD files. Instead, use these CLI
commands to delete the SPD files. For more information about the Product Data
CLI commands, see Administration Utility in your Spectrum™
Technology Platform Administration Guide.
AUS G-NAF
If you installed the Australia Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF), you must specify the GNAF123 and GNAF456 as separate paths but in the same database resource in Management Console.
