Learn about special installation instructions for this version of Adaptive Server.
When installing Adaptive Server, if the destination directory has an existing OCS directory that is a later version than the Adaptive Server version being installed, the Adaptive Server installer does not install another OCS directory, and the driver files required by Adaptive Server will not be available. The workaround is to install the product with the oldest OCS version first.
Before installing the ASE plug-in on top of Adaptive Server, close all Java applications. If you do not, the installation will fail. The entry in the log file states that a problem occurred while attempting to overwrite a JRE 7 file because the file is open.
Install Adaptive Server and all associated plug-ins in the same location.
For Adaptive Server 15.7 ESD#2 and later, the installer requires non-NULL passwords that are at least six characters long for the Adaptive Server sa login, and the Sybase Control Center logins uafadmin and sccadmin.
To accommodate this, the response file should include these additional rows:
SY_CFG_ASE_PASSWORD=<ASE sa password>
CONFIG_SCC_CSI_SCCADMIN_PWD=<Sybase Control Center admin password>
CONFIG_SCC_CSI_UAFADMIN_PWD=<Sybase Control Center agent admin password>
The passwords for sccadmin and uafadmin logins need not be the same as the password for sa login.
Sybase strongly recommends you install the ECDA DirectConnect option or MainframeConnect™ DirectConnect™ for z/OS, including DirectConnect Manager, into its own directory.
Sybase recommends that you do not install Sybase IQ™ 15.1 in a directory that includes the Cluster Edition.
