Installing Sybase Search

The Sybase Search Universal Installer consists of platform-specific executable files so that you can install Sybase Search on the following operating systems:

Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003, and XP
Sun Solaris

The installer runs in interactive mode and silent mode:

Interactive install mode requires you to run the appropriate platform-specific executable. The installation process consists of a series of interactive dialog boxes in which you enter parameter settings.
Silent install mode is used primarily with the Sybase Data Integration Suite. You can also use silent mode to install Sybase Search if you only have command line access to a server. For more information about silent install mode, see Appendix A, “Silent Install Mode.”

Each installation type installs a Sybase Search feature or combination of features. Typically, you install only one feature per server; therefore, you run the Sybase Search installer for each server. The Sybase Search installer provides the installation types summarized in Table 2-3.

**Table 2-3: Sybase Search installation types**
Installation type	Description
Typical	This installation type installs all the components for running Sybase Search on one machine. The components include a single container, which consists of all the Hub and Satellite modules in one container and the Web Administration server.
Custom	This installation type lets you install one or more of the following components: Hub container - installs the Hub container, which runs the central hub of Sybase Search and is used to coordinate all other satellite containers. Satellite container - installs a satellite container, which is a remote component of Sybase Search and contains the modules required to distribute the indexing and search modules. Web Administration server - installs Hyena, which is a lightweight J2EE-compliant JSP/servlet container and the Web application for performing Sybase Search administration tasks.

You can install the features separately or install combinations of features. For example, the Typical installation type installs all the components necessary for running Sybase Search on a single server. The Custom installation type allows for combinations of a hub container, satellite container, and Web Administration server to be installed on one server.

To install Sybase Search in interactive install mode

Verify that you have write permission to the directories on each server where you are installing Sybase Search features.
Run the interactive installation program.
- If you are installing on Windows 2000, 2003, or XP, run OmniQ_3.1_win32.exe.
- If you are installing on Solaris, run OmniQ_3.1_sunsparc64.bin.
The Welcome page appears.
From the Welcome page, click Next. The License Agreement page appears.
Accept the conditions of the license agreement and click Next. The Install Directory page appears.
Click Next to accept the default directory, or click Browse to select a different directory.
Select the installation type that best suits your requirements and click Next. (Table 2-3 describes the installation types.) The interactive dialog boxes are displayed.

Enter values in each field. Table 2-4 describes each field. The installer displays only dialog boxes containing fields relevant to the chosen installation type.

**Table 2-4: Interactive install mode fields**
Field name	Description
Container ID	Enter a value from `1` to `99` to uniquely identify a container. The Container ID of the Hub container is always set to `1`.
Container Port Number	Enter the number of the TCP/IP port on which the container’s embedded HTTP server listens. The container’s HTTP listener binds to the port number 8000 plus the container’s ID. For example, the port is 8001 for container 1 and 8002 for container 2. No two containers can share the same port number.
RMI Port Number	Enter the port number where the remote method invocation (RMI) service runs. The port number that you enter for the Hub container must also be the port number entered for satellite containers. The Hub container default port number is 7000.
Web Administration Server Port Number	Enter the TCP/IP port on which the Web Administration server listens for connections.
Hub Container IP Address	Enter the IP address of the server on which the Hub Container is installed. For a single-server installation, the default is 127.0.0.1.

After you enter values and click Next, the Summary Information page appears.

Review the Summary Information page. If you are satisfied with the settings, click Install.
Repeat this procedure for each server in your Sybase Search environment.
