When you first install a Sybase product, InstallShield creates a Sybase installation directory, if it does not already exist, which contains the support files for all Sybase products.
When you install Replication Server using InstallShield, its software and support files are stored in the Sybase installation directory. You can install all Sybase software in the same installation directory.
WARNING! Do not install Replication Server into an existing Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.x (64-bit) directory. This may cause some localization (.loc) files to be overwritten, resulting in problems with starting Adaptive Server Enterprise.
InstallShield is Java-based, so the installation process is similar on both UNIX-based and Windows-based computers.
InstallShield enables you to:
Install all Replication Server components. You can choose the installation option that works best for you:
Typical (default) – installs the Replication Server components considered to be useful for most customers. In this type of installation, only the U.S. English language module and its supported character sets are installed. The components that will be installed and the total disk space required display prior to installation.
Full – installs every Replication Server component including all the supported language modules from the CD. The components that will be installed and the total disk space required display prior to installation.
Custom – allows you to select the components to install. Recommended for advanced users. When you select Custom install, the next window displayed is the Component Selection window, which allows you to select the components to install.
Certain components are automatically installed if they
are required to run other selected components.
Easily view software release version and properties for components on the installation CD.
Uninstall all Replication Server 15.2 components.
In addition, InstallShield:
Creates the SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh script files. You can later use these files to reset environment variables after exiting InstallShield and before configuring Replication Server. See “Set environment variables”.
Starts the sample Replication Server when the installation process is complete, if you installed the defaults.
You must manually start other components, such as Replication Monitoring Services, and the license manager, if needed.
If you did not install the defaults, follow the instructions in the Replication Server Configuration Guide for UNIX to start, then configure Replication Server.
