Performing a Deployment Installation

A Deployment installation includes Unwired Server, Afaria components, and JDK 1.6.0_12. By default, this option installs a new primary node for a cluster. Install the Deployment option using the installer program on the installation media.

Prerequisites 

If installing additional components or features using your existing license key or an upgraded license key, see Installing Additional Components with an Upgraded License.

  1. Insert the Sybase Unwired Platform installation media.

    If you are installing from a Web download, extract the three archives to the same temporary directory on a local disk, not a shared drive.

  2. If the installer does not start automatically:
    1. Select Start > Run .
    2. Browse to the location of the setup.exe file on the installation media or in the temporary directory, and click OK.
  3. On the installer welcome page, click Next.
  4. Accept the terms of the license agreement.
    1. Select the appropriate geographic location and read the license agreement.
    2. Click I do agree to the terms of the Sybase license, for the install location specified, then click Next.
  5. Accept the default installation directory or choose a different one, then click Next.
    • If this directory does not exist, click OK to create it.
    • For best results, use English or Western European characters (cp1252/ISO-8859-1) for the installation directory path and directory names.
    • You can use the underscore or hyphen character, but do not use symbols or spaces in the installation directory name.
    Note: The directory path where Sybase Unified Agent gets installed depends on if the SYBASE environment variable is defined. If the SYBASE environment variable is defined and valid, Sybase Unified Agent is installed under the variable's directory path. Otherwise, Sybase Unified Agent is installed in a sibling directory to the installation directory specified here. For example, if the installation directory is C:\Sybase\UnwiredPlatform-1_2, then Sybase Unified Agent is installed into C:\Sybase\UAF-2_6.
  6. Enter the Sybase Unwired Platform license key and click Next.

    The installer stores license key information in the <install_directory>\UnwiredPlatform-1_2\license directory. If you are reinstalling or installing additional components, the installer populates this field with the known license key. If you deleted this directory after uninstalling Sybase Unwired Platform, reenter the license key.

  7. Select Typical or Custom Install and click Next.
    Option Description
    Typical Installs Unwired Server, Afaria Server, and Afaria Administrator.
    Custom Install Select the options to install and click Next.
    Some components, such as Afaria Server and Afaria Administrator, have prerequisites. If the installer indicates missing prerequisities, you can:
    • Click Next to install the required prerequisites.
    • Click Back to select components to install that do not require prerequisites.
    • Click Cancel to cancel the current installation.
  8. (Optional) Select additional installation options:
    • Choose Select to specify port configuration information in the next screen for Unwired Server to change default port numbers and LDAP configuration information. Continue to the next step for details.
    • Choose Select to specify cluster configuration options to create a new cluster or indicate an existing cluster. If you do not select this option, the Sybase Unwired Platform installer creates a cluster with the same name as your machine, and adds Unwired Server to it. Complete cluster configuration after installing Sybase Unwired Platform.
    • Choose Select to run Unwired Server as a service to start Unwired Server automatically when Windows starts up. If you do not select this option, you must manually start Unwired Server from the Start menu.
    • Choose Select an existing JDK installation for use with Sybase Unwired Platform. Indicate the fully qualified path to the existing JDK installation directory. Sybase Unwired Platform requires JDK 1.6.0_12.
  9. (Optional) Change the port numbers as required, then click Next.
    Option Description
    Unwired Server Port TCP/IP port number on which the Unwired Server listens for requests. The default is 4040.

    To change the port number after installation, use Sybase Control Center (Admin Console).

    Unwired Server Secure Port Secure TCP/IP port number on which the Unwired Server listens for requests. The default is 4443.

    To change the port number after installation, use Sybase Control Center (Admin Console).

    System Admin HTTP Port Port number on which the Admin Console (Unified Agent Administration server) listens for requests. The default is 8282.

    To change the port number after installation, edit the service-config.xml file, located by default in C:\Sybase\UAF-2_6\services\EmbeddedWebContainer.

    System Admin HTTPS Port Secure port number on which the Admin Console (Unified Agent Administration server) listens for requests. The default is 8283.

    To change the port number after installation, edit the service-config.xml file, located by default in C:\Sybase\UAF-2_6\services\EmbeddedWebContainer.

    Synchronization Port Port number on which Unwired Server synchronizes data between the enterprise information system and mobile devices. The default is 2439.

    To change the port number after installation, use Sybase Control Center (Admin Console).

    Consolidated Database Port Port number for the consolidated database (SQL Anywhere) that manages transactions between the enterprise information system and mobile devices. The default is 4747.
    To change the port number after installation:
    1. On the Unwired Server running the consolidated database (CDB), open <install_dir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\sup.properties.
    2. Change the port number by editing the value for the sqlany.serverport property.
    3. From the <install_dir>\Servers\UnwiredServer directory, open a command window and run:

      updateProps -r

    4. Open <install_dir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\createdns.bat and change the port number in two places:
      • set cluster_command=uid=dba;pwd=SQL;eng=%CLUSTER_NAME%_clusterdb;dbn=clusterdb;astop=No;links=tcpip(host=nohost;port=4747)
      • uid=dba;pwd=SQL;eng=%CLUSTER_NAME%_uaml;dbn=uaml;astop=No;links=tcpip(host=nohost;port=4747) -y
    5. Shut down the CDB.
    6. If you are running the database as a service, from the <install_dir>\Servers\UnwiredServer directory, open a command window and run:

      uamlservice.bat install

      This command redefines the service with the new port number.

    7. Shut down Unwired Server and restart it.
    8. Start the database. From the <install_dir>\Servers\UnwiredServer directory, open a command window and run:

      startdb.bat

  10. (Optional) For this Unwired Server installation, create a new cluster or associate Unwired Server with an existing cluster.
    Option Do this
    Create new cluster Accept the default cluster name or enter a new one. By default, the cluster name is the machine name on which you are installing Sybase Unwired Platform.
    Add to an existing cluster Select the Existing cluster name, and enter the Cluster DB login and Cluster DB password. The default cluster login is dba. The default cluster DB password is SQL.

    Each server in the cluster must be on the same subnet.

    Note: If the cluster name does not appear in the list, check that the cluster database is running. If the cluster database is running, make sure that the machine on which you are installing is on the same subnet as the cluster database.

    Run the installer again on a different machine to install a new Unwired Server instance, and to create a new cluster or associate the Unwired Server to an existing cluster. Finish configuring the cluster as documented in the Sybase Unwired Platform online help.

  11. If you are installing Afaria, enter server and port information, then click Next.
    Option Description
    Account Name The Afaria server account name in the form of <Windows_domain>\<login_id>, for example, sybase\jdoe. You can enter only the login ID if you are using an account on the local machine. The account must have administrator privileges.
    Account Password The Afaria server password for the account.
    Afaria Port (for Afaria Server only) The Afaria Server HTTP port number. The default is 4041.
    Afaria Database Port (for Afaria Server only) The Afaria Server database port number. The default is 4343.
  12. Verify the installation features and click Install.
  13. (Optional) Click View Release Bulletin.
  14. Click Finish.
