Installing Adaptive Server with the GUI Wizard

Use GUI mode to install Adaptive Server and related products.

Prerequisites

Shut down all programs before running the installer.

Task

The installer creates the target directory (if it does not yet exist) and installs the selected components into that directory.

Note: Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.7 SP100 includes new major versions of Adaptive Server and many supporting components. Installing Adaptive Server version 15.7 SP100 into the same directory with existing products should not impact the existing products. However, installing other products on top of Adaptive Server version 15.7 SP100 may result in one or more products not working correctly.

SAP strongly recommends that you install Adaptive Server version 15.7 SP100 into its own directory if possible. If you must install other products into the same directory, install Adaptive Server version 15.7 SP100 last.

Adaptive Server version 15.5 and later uses InstallAnywhere for its installation, while versions of Adaptive Server earlier than 15.5 and other Sybase products use InstallShield Multiplatform. Do not use both installers to install products into the same directory, as this creates files to be installed incorrectly and overwritten without warning.

At the end of the installation, verify that the product has installed correctly. You may also need to perform additional configuration procedures before using some products.

Insert the Adaptive Server media in the appropriate drive, or download and extract the Adaptive Server installation image from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) or the SAP Service Marketplace (SMP).
If you downloaded the product from SPDC or SAP Service Marketplace, go to the directory where you extracted the installation image and start the installer:
```
./setup.bin
```
If you are installing using a DVD, mount the disk.
The operating system automatically mounts the CD or DVD. Log in as “sybase.” If CD- or DVD-reading errors occur, check your operating system kernel to make sure that the ISO 9660 option is turned on. If you have previously installed a Sybase CD or DVD on your system, the # sign interferes with the installation process. Before installing your current CD or DVD, either:
- Restart your system, or,
- Eject the CD or DVD. Delete the Volume Label file in /vol/dsk, and reinsert the CD or DVD
Launch the installer:
```
cd /cdrom/Volume Label
./setup.bin
```
where:
- cdrom is the directory (mount-point) you specified when mounting the CD or DVD drive.
- setup.bin is the executable file name to install Adaptive Server.
If there is not enough disk space in the temporary disk space directory, set the environment variable IATEMPDIR to tmp_dir before running the installer again, where tmp_dir is where the installation program writes the temporary installation files. When specifying the tmp_dir, include its full path.
Select the language.
On the Introduction screen, click Next.
Accept the default directory or enter a new path, then click Next.

Note: Do not use single or double quotes character when specifying a path. The installer does not recognize quote marks, and displays an error.
If you see Choose Update Installation, this means that there is an older version of Adaptive Server in the directory you specified for the installation. See Adaptive Server Upgrades.

Select the type of installation:

Option	Description
Typical	(Default) Recommended for most users, this option installs a default set of components, including the Sybase Control Center Agent plug-in. This option does not install: Sybase Control Center Management UI SySAM license server
Full	Installs every Adaptive Server component, including all the supported language modules, as well as the SCC Agent plugin and Management UI.
Customize	Lets you select the components to install. Some components are automatically installed if they are required to run your selected components.

Select the software license type for the Adaptive Server suite:
- Install licensed copy of Adaptive Server Suite
- Install Free Developer Edition of Adaptive Server Suite
- Evaluate Adaptive Server Suite
  An evaluation is valid for 30 days from the installation date.
Choose the most appropriate region, read the license terms, then click I agree. Click Next.
If you have a licensed copy of Adaptive Server Suite:
1. Specify the license type:
  - Enter a license file. If it is a served license key, you are prompted to set up the license server.
  - Use an existing license server.
  - Proceed without specifying license information for the duration of 30 days from the installation date.
2. Specify the product edition:
  - Enterprise Edition
  - Small Business Edition
  - Developer Edition
  - Unknown – select this if you are unsure about the license type.
  Note: Choosing Unknown prevents you from being able to select Optimize Adaptive Server later in the installation process.
  
  Depending on the edition, you can also select the license type under which the product is licensed.
3. Configure your server to send e-mail notifications about license management events that require attention:
  - SMTP server host name
  - SMTP server port number
  - E-mail return address
  - Recipient e-mail addresses
  - Message severity that triggers e-mail messages
In the summary window, click Next.
In the preinstallation summary, verify the installation type and that you have enough disk space for the installation. Click Next.
The installation status window displays the result of the installation process.
