Issue/Introduction

Error while executing the 'postgres_install' script for the creation of the TIBCO Spotfire database.

Environment

All Supported OS

Resolution

The root cause of the above error message is that the username specified in the 'set SERVERDB_USER' line/code of the script is having UPPER case character(s). So, SERVERDB_USER value should always be in lower case character(s).
