Installing in Standalone Mode

Only out-of-process adapters can be installed in Standalone mode.

1. Get the appropriate adapter installation file for the adapter you want to install. Installation files for Sybase CEP-packaged adapters are located in the adapters directory under your Sybase CEP Server or Sybase CEP Studio installation directory. For most out-of-process adapters, files are provided with the adapter. If the installation files are compressed, extract them before proceeding.
2. Double-click the installation file to start installation.

   The Welcome panel of the Sybase CEP Adapter Installer opens. The following steps lead you through the Installer workflow. Options for cancelling installation and navigating to previous panels in the workflow are available on every panel before actual installation takes place.

   Click Next to continue.

3. Choose to install the adapter in Standalone mode. Click Next.
4. Select the directory where you want to install the adapter. Install to the CEP server/common libraries directory; the existing CEP Server location; or the existing CEP Studio location. Click Next. If a prompt warns you that a desination folder for the adapter does not exist and asks you if you want to create it, select Yes.
5. On the next panel, select whether you want to install a licensed copy of the adapter or to evaluate a trial version of the adapter.
6. The End-User License Agreement panel asks you to select your geographic region before you can read the Sybase License Agreement. Once you have read the license agreement, accept the terms and conditions to continue. Click Next.
7. If you selected to install a licensed version of the adapter in Step 5, the SySAM License Entry panel opens. Either specify a new license key, use a previously deployed license server, or continue installation without a license key.
   • If you choose to specify a new license key, either enter the key manually or browse for and load the license key. Click Next to Install a SySAM server.

     Note: If you receive an error saying that the installer detects a SySAM server already running on your machine, click Previous to return to the SySAM License Entry panel and choose to use the previous deployed license server.

     The following panel displays the install process. Once the server install is complete, configure your SySAM email alert mechanism, and click Next to return to your adapter installation.

   • If you choose to use a previously deployed license server, enter the Host Name and Port Number. The SySAM server searches your system for the license server file.
     

     • If it is available, you are prompted to configure your SySAM email alert mechanism. Click Next to return to your adapter installation.
     • If the license server file is not found, the following panel informs you that the license(s) could not be installed. You may run the adapter for up to 30 days without a license. If you do not obtain and install a license in 30 days, the adapter stops working.

       Note: You may navigate back to the SySAM License Entry panel to re-enter any incorrect information.

       When you click Next to exit the panel and return to the adapter installation, you are informed again about operating the adapter without a license, and asked to confirm that you understand this policy.

8. If you specified in Step 1 that the adapter should be installed in the same directory as a previous version of the adapter, a pop-up message indicates that the adapter is already installed in the folder.

   Click Yes to uninstall the previous installation or No to upgrade without uninstalling. If you click Yes, the next panel confirms that the previous version of the adapter will be uninstalled if you continue:

   1. Click Next to continue. The next panels display the uninstall process.
   2. A final install panel opens when uninstall is complete. Click Next to continue with the upgrade installation.
9. View the Pre-Installation Summary and click Next to begin the adapter installation. The next panel displays the installation process.
10. When the installation completes, an installation summary panel opens. Click Done.
