Installer Changes

Sybase CEP allows for silent, GUI, and console installs.

Silent installs are recommended for installing multiple identical or almost identical copies of Sybase CEP. Silent installs are not recommended for installations that require excessive customization.

Sybase CEP now provides a wizard-based installer for in-process and out-of-process adapters. For out-of-process adapters, there are two options: standalone and dependent mode. In standalone mode, the adapter installer installs the Sybase CEP common libraries that are needed by the adapter. This mode of installation is used when installing the adapter to a system that doesn't have CEP Server or Studio installed.

Dependent mode can be used if the system has Sybase CEP Server or Sybase CEP Studio installed. In this case, the adapter installer does not install the Sybase CEP common libraries and the adapter uses the common libraries that are installed as part of CEP Server or Studio. Dependent mode requires Sybase CEP Server or Sybase CEP Studio to be of the same version as the adapter being installed. If an incompatible version of Sybase CEP Server or Sybase CEP Studio exists on your workstation, use standalone mode to install the adapter.

Note: Some adapters, such as Tibco, WSMQ, and MSMQ, do not provide a wizard-based installer. Consult your adapter manual for a full list of features.
