You can install the Replication Agent software in an interactive text (or console) mode, using the same steps as those described in “Installing with the GUI wizard”, except that:
You invoke the installation program wizard at the command prompt, and
You use only the keyboard to select all of the installation options.
This installation procedure uses the installation program wizard in console mode, which requires either:
A monitor and keyboard on the Replication Agent host machine, or
A monitor and keyboard on a remote machine configured to control the Replication Agent host machine.
This installation procedure does not require
a pointing device or a GUI environment to install the Replication Agent software.
See “Installation program command line options” for a list of command line options you can use with the installation program.
Installing Replication Agent in
console mode
Log in to the Replication Agent host machine using an operating system user account with authority to start, stop, and administer the Replication Agent instance (for example, the “sybase” user).
Close all nonessential applications, and minimize any open windows.
Insert the Replication Agent 15.5 media in the appropriate drive.
On a Microsoft Windows platform, when the installation
program starts automatically, click Cancel.
Open an operating system command window, and set the media drive as the current drive.
Start the installation program in console mode:
On Microsoft Windows:
setupConsole.exe -i console
On UNIX:
./setup.bin -i console
You see the Welcome message.
Follow the remaining wizard prompts to install the Replication Agent 15.5 software.
See “Installing with the GUI wizard” for a description of all of the wizard prompts.
The installation program installs the components in the installation directory you specified, and displays an installation progress indicator.
If errors occur during the installation, the installation program displays error messages. Exit the installation program wizard to correct the cause of the error, and then restart the installation program. See “Installation troubleshooting”.
If the software is installed successfully, you see a message confirming the successful installation.
To verify that the software components were installed correctly, see “Verifying the installation”.
Set up the SYBASE environment on the Replication Agent host machine. See “Setting up the SYBASE environment variable”.
