Installing Sybase IQ InfoPrimer Server in GUI Mode

Use GUI mode to install IQ InfoPrimer Server. This allows you to intall the components using a graphical user interface.

Note: You cannot install IQ InfoPrimer Server on UNIX and Linux using the GUI mode. To install IQ InfoPrimer Server on these platforms, use the console or silent mode.
  1. Run the setup program if it does not start automatically.

    To do it, select Start > Run and browse to Setup_InfoPrimerServer-15.3.0.exe.

  2. Select the language to use for installation. Click OK, then click Next.
  3. Select the product edition:
    • Evaluation – allows you to install and use IQ InfoPrimer Server without a license for 30 days. To continue using IQ InfoPrimer Server after the end of the grace period, you must obtain valid licenses from the SPDC.

    • Licensed Edition – requires you to provide a license for installation.

  4. Read and accept the license agreement. Click Next.
  5. Close all other applications, specifically grid node, before proceeding. Click Next.
    Note: To terminate grid node, run the grid node--shutdown command.
  6. Select the installation directory. Sybase recommends that you use only alphanumeric characters in the installation path.
    Warning!  Do not install IQ InfoPrimer Server in the same installation directory as Sybase IQ.
  7. Specify the Start Menu folder in which to create a program shortcut.
  8. Select Register as Windows System Service to start or stop IQ InfoPrimer Server using services.

    Select Install for All Users to launch the application on user accounts with restricted access rights.

    Note: For Windows 7 and Windows 2008, “Install for All Users” is the default selection. If you have selected to install IQ InfoPrimer Development in the default location, unselecting this option may cause errors.

    When started the first time on a user account, all files requiring write privileges are copied to the user directory, typically at:

    • Windows 2003 and Windows XP – C:\Documents and Settings\<login user>\Application Data\SYBASE\Sybase IQ InfoPrimer Server\<product version>

    • Windows 7 and Windows 2008 – C:\Users\<login user>\AppData\Roaming\SYBASE\Sybase IQ InfoPrimer Server\<product version>

    Depending on whether you have selected “Install for All Users,” log files are located in the \log subdirectory of either the user or the installation directory.

    Click Next.

  9. Review the installation summary information, then click Install.
  10. When the installation is finished, read the Readme file, then click Next.
  11. If you have installed the Licensed Edition, the installer prompts you to select the license method:
    • Use previously deployed license server – enter the license server host name of the machine where the license server is running, and the license server port number if the port number you are using is not the same as the default. Click Next.

      Note: If you encounter issues providing the host name, provide the IP address of the host machine instead.
    • License file – select the location of the license file. Click Next.

      The installer verifies whether the license is valid. If the license cannot be validated, you can continue with the installation; however, the product will stop working in 30 days, unless you obtain and install an appropriate license.

  12. Click Finish.
Note: You cannot install IQ InfoPrimer Server on UNIX and Linux using the GUI mode. To install IQ InfoPrimer Server on these platforms, use the non-GUI modes.
