Installing RTDS using InstallShield

InstallShield copies the RTDS interface libraries for the current platform into $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/lib (%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\bin on Windows).

At the end of the installation, you can verify the product installation. You may need to perform additional configuration procedures before you can use Real-Time Data Services.

StepsInstalling Real-Time Data Services

  1. On Windows only, log in to your Windows computer using an account with Windows administrator privileges.

    Closing any open applications or utilities, including currently installed Sybase products or the SySAM Manager.

    WARNING! If any Sybase executables or DLLs are loaded into memory, and the installation program tries to overwrite any of the files that are in use, the installation program may generate an error and provide an error log.

  2. Insert the Sybase Real-Time Data Services CD in the CD drive.

    • On Windows – InstallShield should start automatically. If it does not, select Start | Run, and enter the following, where X: is your drive:

      X:\setup.exe
      

      Click OK.

    • On UNIX – mount the CD, then go to the CD directory and enter:

      ./setup
      

      The UNIX install script starts.

  3. When the license selection displays, select your location, read the license terms, click “I agree,” then click Next.

    Not every country is listed; if yours is not, select the most appropriate location.

  4. InstallShield asks for the directory you want to install the product to. Usually, this is the current SYBASE release.

    • If you have defined the $SYBASE environment variable (%SYBASE% on Windows) – its value becomes the installation directory where Real-Time Data Services and any other Sybase-required components are automatically installed. The Install Directory window does not display.

      Click Next.

    • If you have not defined the $SYBASE environment variable (%SYBASE% on Windows) – the Install Directory window opens. The directory you enter becomes the $SYBASE environment variable.

      Enter an installation directory, then click Next.

  5. After you enter the location for installation of RTDS, the installer searches for a valid installation of Adaptive Server with the most recent installation.If the installer finds a valid installation, you see RTDS as an option in the installation dialog, with the check box unmarked.

    Make your selections, then click Next.

  6. The Product Selection Summary window displays the components selected for installation. Verify that you selected the correct type of installation and have enough disk space to complete the process.

    Click Next.

  7. The Install Progress window shows the installation’s progress. When the installation finishes, click Next.

  8. Click Finish.
