Special Installation Instructions

Learn about special installation instructions for this version of Adaptive Server.

Installing the ASE Plug-in

Before installing the ASE Plug-in on top of Adaptive Server, shut down the Adaptive Server. If you do not shut down the server, 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.

Installing PC-client

When running autorun to install PC-client, an error is raised stating that you are installing a 64-bit pc-client in a location that has 32-bit pc-client. To workaround this issue, run setup.exe from within the pcclient32 subdirectory to install PC-client.

Installing Adaptive Server Plug-ins

Install Adaptive Server and all associated plug-ins in the same location.

Amendments to the response file for silent installation

For Adaptive Server 15.7 ESD#2, 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 perform a silent Adaptive Server installation using a response file, the response file should have the following 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.

Installing Enterprise Connect Data Access (ECDA) or MainframeConnect DirectConnect for z/OS with Other Sybase Software

Sybase strongly recommends you install the ECDA DirectConnect option or MainframeConnect™ DirectConnect™ for z/OS, including DirectConnect Manager, into its own directory.

Installing Adaptive Server Enterprise Cluster Edition with Sybase IQ 15.1

Sybase recommends that you not install Sybase IQ™ 15.1 in a directory that includes the Cluster Edition.
