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 ESD #2 includes new major versions of Adaptive Server and many supporting components. Installing Adaptive Server version 15.7 ESD #2 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 ESD #2 may result in one or more products not working correctly.

Sybase strongly recommends that you install Adaptive Server version 15.7 ESD #2 into its own directory if possible. If you must install other products into the same directory, install Adaptive Server version 15.7 ESD #2 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, you can verify the product installation. You may 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 the CD or DVD, mount the disk.
Log in as "sybase" and issue:
```
mount -v 'cdrfs' -r device_name /mnt/cdrom
```
Launch the installer:
```
cd /device_name
./setup.bin
```
where:
- device_name 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.
If you see a Choose Update Installation pane, this means you have an earlier version of the server, and you need to perform an upgrade rather than a new installation. See Adaptive Server Upgrades.

Select the type of installation:

Option	Description
Typical	(Default) Installs the default components. This is recommended for most users.
Full	Installs every Adaptive Server component, including all the supported language modules.
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
- Install Express 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.
Select enable or disable to remember the Adaptive Server password, then click Next to specify whether to have the ASE plug-in remember passwords.
If you chose a typical installation or selected the Sybase Control Center remote command and control agent for Adaptive Server in a custom installation, the installer asks if you want to configure SCC. If you choose to configure SCC, you see a message about discovery services, and you can configure the UDP or JINI adapters.
If you select JINI adapter, enter the host name, port number, and heartbeat period.
Enable and order the security login module.
Enter the RMI port.
Choose whether to enable SCC shared-disk mode. If you do, enter the SCC instance name.
Set the SCC administrator and agent password that is at least six characters long. This password need not be the same as the Adaptive Server sa login password
Review the summary of selections you made for SCC, then click Next. The installer configures the SCC agent.
Note: Two commands for starting an SCC agent are:
- To enable the SCC agents:
```
$SYBASE/SCC-3_2/bin/sccinstance -enable
```
- To start the SCC agents in debug mode:
```
$SYBASE/scc-3_2/bin/scc.sh -m DEBUG ...
```
