Selecting Installation Options

Specify the installation directory, installation type, Unwired Platform components, and additional installation options.

  1. Specify the absolute path to the installation location, which must reside in a local drive on the target host.

    The total length of the path must be 43 characters or less.

    Directory names in the path can contain only:
    • ASCII alphanumeric characters
    • Underscore ( _ ) or hyphen ( - ) characters
  2. On the installation option page, select Unwired Platform Runtime and click Next.
  3. On the installation type page, select Cluster and click Next.
  4. On the cluster setup selection page, select the option for this Unwired Server cluster node and click Next.
    • Install the first server node and connect it to the data tier
    • Install an additional server node and connect it to the data tier
  5. If a page appears, indicating that the installer detected missing third-party software, click:
    • Next to install the required software.
    • Back to select components to install that do not require the third-party software.
    • Cancel to stop the current installation.
  6. (Optional) Select additional installation options.
    • Configure Unwired Platform communication ports to change default ports.
    • Set Sybase Unwired Platform services to start automatically to start services automatically when Windows starts.

      Set Unwired Platform services to start automatically if you plan to install products that work with Unwired Platform, such as Sybase SAPĀ® DOE Connector and Sybase Mobile Sales for SAPĀ® CRM. If Unwired Platform services do not start automatically, dependent products will encounter problems.

    • Set Sybase Unwired Server name and cluster name on the first node in an Unwired Server cluster (names must be unique on network segment).

      You can specify the cluster name, only when you install the first node in an Unwired Server cluster.

      Set Sybase Unwired Server name on subsequent nodes in an Unwired Server cluster (name must be unique on network segment).

  7. Enter cluster configuration information that the installer needs to access the data tier.
    1. Enter the Unwired Platform cluster configuration password.
      The cluster configuration password is specified when the data tier is installed.
    2. Enter the UNC path to the file system that houses the data tier database files.

      The UNC path must use a fully qualified host name or network name (name.domain). For example, if the data tier node is installed in C:\Sybase, the data folder is C:\Sybase\UnwiredPlatform\Data. If the machine is named SUPDT, the UNC path to the data folder is \\SUPDT\Data.

      Note: If the data tier is installed in a failover cluster, the UNC path must point to the Network Name resource associated with either a file share resource group or a Client Access Point.
  8. (Optional) If you selected Set Sybase Unwired Server name..., enter a name for this Unwired Server instance. (Name must be unique on network segment.)
    If you are installing the first node in the Unwired Server cluster, you can also enter a name for the cluster.
    Each server or cluster name:
    • Must contain only:
      • ASCII alphanumeric characters
      • Underscore ( _ ) and hyphen ( - ) characters
    • Cluster names must be 22 characters or less
  9. Enter information for the Windows account under which Unwired Server services will run.
    The user ID (account name) must:
    • Be a Windows domain user ID, preceded by a Windows domain.
    • Be a member of the local Administrator's group on the installation target host
    • Have read/write access to the file system that houses the data tier database files.
    Note: You must enter identical Windows account information for each node in the Unwired Server cluster.
  10. Enter information that Unwired Server needs to connect to the data tier.
    1. Enter the name of the data tier host.

      If the data tier is installed in a failover cluster, enter the network name of the cluster resource that acts as a "virtual host" for the data tier services.

    2. Enter the following for each configurable database listed:
      • Database Name
      • Port Number
      • Login
      • Password

      Default values in those fields are populated by the installer, from a properties file created when the data tier was installed. In a typical new installation, you need not change any pre-populated value, just enter "sql" as the default password for each database.

      In an upgrade installation, if the password fields are filled, do not change them. If they are not filled, enter the current the password for each database.

  11. (Optional) If you selected Configure Unwired Platform communication ports, change the default port numbers as needed.
    • General ports:
      • Server administration
      • Data change notification
    • Synchronization ports:
      • Messaging
      • Replication
  12. Enter the password for the supAdmin user and click Next.
    The password must:
    • Be at least 8 characters
    • Contain only ASCII alphanumeric characters
