Before you install DirectConnect, you must complete pre-installation tasks.
To perform pre-installation tasks
Read Chapter 2, “Preparing to Install,” to perform the identified critical administrative tasks.
(For Windows) Back up the system environment before starting the installation.
Complete the installation worksheet. See the worksheet for your platform in Chapter 2, “Preparing to Install.”
Consider the following for SNA:
If using an SNA target, verify that the SNA libraries are in the library search path.
(For AIX only) If using a non-SNA environment, you need to create two soft links using the threaded library names, libappc.o and libsnau.o, to the SNA stub called libappc.o.stub.
Set the environment variable %SYBASE% (for Windows) and $SYBASE (for UNIX and Linux) to point to the location where DirectConnect for z/OS Option will be installed.
When installing on Windows, Sybase recommends that you
exit all programs before running the installation program.
