This section describes how to install the DirectConnect for z/OS Option in GUI mode.
To install DirectConnect for z/OS Option
Verify that the drive on which you install the products has enough free disk space for the products being installed, and at least 10MB extra disk space for the installation program. The program frees this space after the installation is complete.
Insert the Mainframe Connect DirectConnect for z/OS Option CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
For UNIX, if auto-mount is not available, follow your local mounting procedures.
The installation program should start automatically. If it does not start:
For Windows, select Start | Run, and enter the following, where x: is your CD drive:
x:\setup.exe
For UNIX and Linux platforms, enter:
./setup
The Welcome window appears.
Click Next. You may see the following error message:
Error writing file = There may not be enough temporary disk space. Try using -is:tempdir to use a temporary directory on a partition with more disk space.
If so, set the temporary directory to another directory that has more disk space by entering the following at the command line:
For Windows:
x:\setup.exe -is:tempdir <directory_name>
For UNIX and Linux:
./setup -is:tempdir <directory_name>
where directory_name is the name of the temporary directory to which the installation program will write its temporary files.
Read the License and Copyright Agreement. Using the drop-down list at the top of the window, select the geographic location where you are installing DirectConnect to display the agreement appropriate to your region. Select “I agree” and click Next.
You must agree to the license and copyright agreement before you can continue.
In the installation directory window, click Next to accept the default directory for the installation, or enter a different directory where you want to install DirectConnect for z/OS Option. One of the following occurs:
If the installation directory you chose does not exist, the installation program prompts:
The directory does not exist. Do you want to create it?
Click Yes.
If the installation directory exists and contains files, the software prompts:
You have chosen to install into an existing directory. Any older versions of the products you choose to install that are detected in this directory will be replaced.
You will not see this message if the directory exists
but is empty.
If you are prompted to overwrite any DLLs, (Windows) or files (UNIX) select Yes only if the version of the new DLL or file is later than the one you are attempting to overwrite.
In certain cases when DirectConnect for z/OS
Option is installed with other Sybase products, you may see warnings
about overwriting newer versions of files. In these cases, simply
instruct the installer to overwrite these files and proceed with
the installation.
Select Yes or No to indicate if you have SNA installed on your system. Click Next.
Select one of the two installation types:
Custom, which allows you to select the components for DirectConnect for z/OS Option to install
Full, which installs all DirectConnect for z/OS Option and components from the CD
Click Next.
Select the components that you want to install. Because all the components are already checked (selected), you must un-check (deselect) the components that you do not want to install.
Be aware that if you deselect a component that is required,
it is automatically installed if it is needed to run other selected
components.
After you have selected the desired components, click Next.
Before proceeding to the next window, the install program verifies the selections, and checks for dependencies and available disk space. The Product Summary window displays every component that is to be installed and the total disk space required for all the selected components.
If the target directory does not have enough free space,
the space-required and the space-available information is displayed.
If you click Next without sufficient hard disk space, an error occurs
that stops the installation.
Verify that you have selected the correct type of installation, and that you have enough disk space to complete the process. Click Next to continue the installation.
The installation program unloads all the components from the CD and displays a progress indicator. When the installation is complete, a message appears indicating that the installation program has completed installing your product. Click Next.
Click Next. The SySAM License Server window opens and displays this prompt:
Will licenses be obtained from the License Server?
Select Yes if you have a pre-existing SySAM network license server installed, or install a new license server. Enter the host name and the port number of the license server.
Select No if you do not have a SySAM license server installed and are going to use a local license file. A message displays telling you to download the license file.
If you select Yes and the license server is not found, or if you select No and the local license file is not installed on your local machine, this message appears:
Installer can’t check out a license. Do you want to continue without a license?
Click Yes to complete the installation. If you select No, this message appears:
Please remember to download and install the license file after this installation.
Click OK.
The SySAM Notification window asks you to configure your server for e-mail notification. When configuration is enabled, you will receive information about license management events requiring attention.
Enter the following:
SMTP server host name
SMTP server port number
E-mail Return Address
Recipient e-mail addresses
Message severity that triggers e-mail messages
Click Next.
A window displays a message indicating that the installation was successful and advising you to check for software updates. Click Finish.
