Installing SAMreport

To install SAMreport as a new installation:

  1. Run the SAMreport installer, located in the samreport directory on the Replication Server version 15.0 installation media.

  2. Use console mode if your display supports only characters, not graphics.

  3. If the installer does not find a JRE installed on your system, specify the location where JRE 1.4 is installed using the following command:

    -is:javahome <JAVA HOME DIR>
    

    For example:

    HP-UX:

    samreport-3_6-hp700_u11.bin -is:javahome JRE directory

    Solaris:

    samreport-3_6-sun4_u5.bin -is:javahome JRE directory

    IBM AIX:

    samreport-3_6-ppc_u4.bin -is:javahome JRE directory

    In the above examples, the JRE directory is the JRE directory that was installed in “Installing the Java Runtime Environment”. If the install program cannot use the JRE, install the JRE that is supplied with the SAMreport installation program.

  4. The Welcome screen displays. Click Next.

  5. Choose an installation location. Sybase recommends that you install SAMreport in $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/samreport. SAMreport is installed in a v3.6 directory under the specified directory. A symbolic link to a directory named current is created in the installation directory in the v3.6 directory. Click Next to continue with the installation.

  6. Choose the license file location. Browse to the directory where you launched the SAMreport installation program. Select the license file named SAMreport_SYBASE.lic and click Open. The installation does not continue until it locates the specified license file. The contents of the license file are not checked until you try to run SAMreport.

    The Installer copies the specified file into the following directory: SAMreport_home/machind/license/license.dat.

  7. If the Installer does not find the JRE you installed, you are prompted to enter the location of that JRE directory. For example: /usr/local/jre.

    Click Next.

  8. The installation directory and space requirements are displayed. Click Next to begin the extraction of files and installation of SAMreport.

  9. Click Finish to complete the installation.
