Installing Replication Agent in Console Mode

Install the Replication Agent software in an interactive text (or console) mode

Installing Replication Agent in console mode uses the same steps as those for the GUI wizard, except you:

Note: If there is not enough disk space in your default temporary directory, set the IATEMPDIR (Linux or UNIX) or TMP (Windows) environment variable to a directory that has enough space. Include the full path to this directory.

Invoke the installation program wizard at the command prompt, and
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.

See Installation Program Command Line Options for information about the command line options you can use with the installation program.

Note: This installation procedure does not require a pointing device or a GUI environment to install the Replication Agent software.

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 15.7.1 media in the appropriate drive.

Note: 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 15.7.1 software.

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.

If the software is installed successfully, you see a message confirming the successful installation.
