Performing a Typical Installation

In a typical installation, install the base adapters, ESP Server, ESP Studio, and Sybase Control Center for Event Stream Processor on a single machine.

Sybase recommends a typical installation only for evaluating Event Stream Processor or testing your implementation.

The Sybase ESP Add-in for Microsoft Excel is a real-time data add-in for Microsoft Excel that lets you view and retrieve records from one or more running Event Stream Processor projects, as well as publish records to them. Although it is included with your basic license, it is not installed automatically with the other base adapters. To install this add-in, use the Custom installation process, and explicitly select it as a component to install.

To install enterprise adapters in a typical installation, run the standalone installer for your adapters or, in the case of the FIX or Open adapters, re-run the Event Stream Processor installer in custom mode to access the adapter-only installation process.

Note: If your license is incorrectly generated or copied to an incorrect location, Event Stream Processor automatically enters a 30-day grace period. License errors or warnings, or both, appear only in the cluster log (not in the server log). When the 30-day grace period ends, Event Stream Processor cannot run until a suitable license is provided. For production environments, Sybase strongly recommends that you configure e-mail alerts during installation so you receive messages regarding license errors or warnings before the grace period ends.
