Review the latest information for this release and ensure that your
environment is ready to install.
- Review the RAP Users Guide to
familiarize yourself with the current SAP® Sybase® RAP architecture.
- Consult the documentation for the product components (SAP HANA (or Adaptive
Server® Enterprise), Sybase IQ, Event Stream Processor, and Sybase Control
Center) you are installing to ensure you:
- Obtain the latest information on the components.
- Plan your client and server installations appropriately.
- Have sufficient available disk space to install the RAP components. See
the Disk Space Requirements topic.
- Have an operating system that meets the version level and network
protocol requirements for your platform.
- Have a login with appropriate permissions for all the RAP installation
tasks.
- Install operating system patches, if required. If you are
having trouble starting an installer, make sure you have the required operating
system patches for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
- If you use a SySAM license server, see the Sybase Software Asset
Management (SySAM) 2 Users Guide for information on how to run it,
and how to install the license onto the license server.
- Verify that your network software is configured. Sybase
software uses network software even if the SAP HANA (or Adaptive Server) and
Sybase IQ client applications are installed on a machine that is not connected
to a network.
- To verify your network configuration, ping the host.
- On your Adaptive Server Enterprise server machine, allocate a
shared memory segment that is at least as large as the Adaptive Server total
logical memory configuration parameter.
- Ensure that the system clocks on all machines in the RAP system
have the same time.
