This procedure describes how to download and install Global Addressing databases in the Spectrum Product Database (SPD) format from data.precisely.com.
Disk Space
The disk space requirements for extracted and non-extracted SPD bundles
are:
- Extracted bundles (all SPD) - 100 GB
- Non-extracted bundles (all SPD) - 32 GB
Memory
A typical Global Address Validation (GAV) country database can take 700 MB of memory when loaded but can take as much as 3000 MB. A typical Global Type Ahead (GTA) database also takes about 700 MB of memory when loaded but rarely exceeds that value.
To download and install a Global Addressing database resource in the Spectrum Product Database (SPD) format:
- Download your Spectrum Product Database (SPD) format files from Precisely using the link provided in the Precisely communication or from data.precisely.com.
- 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 Global Addressing 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.
