Preparing for Installation

Ensure that the host on which you are installing Sybase Unwired Platform is ready for you to begin the installation.

1. Confirm that the installation target host meets minimum system requirements for all Unwired Platform components to be installed.
2. Verify that you have Administrator privileges on the installation target host.
3. If the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable is set, remove it before you start Unwired Platform installation.
   Check for the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable in both User variables and System variables panes of the Environment Variables dialog.
   1. Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
   2. Select the Advanced tab, then click Environment Variables.
   3. Select JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS and click Delete.
   4. Click OK to exit all dialogs.
4. Shut down all Sybase software, Sybase processes, and associated third-party processes running on the installation target host.
   
   Note: This includes any database servers, Sybase Control Center, and if Sybase SAP® DOE Connector is present in an upgrade installation, SAP Data Orchestration Engine.

   If Sybase Unwired Platform was installed on the target host, ensure that all services that have names beginning with "Sybase" are stopped, and stop the Advantage Database Server® service and OpenDS service, if either is present.

   To verify that services are stopped, open the Services panel from Windows Control Panel.
