What a Server Installation Does

A typical installation installs the server and other components into a parent directory on the host machine.

Directory Variables

SAP Sybase IQ uses environment variables that point to different installation directories.

Directory Variables.
Variable Description
$SYBASE Points to the parent installation directory. This variable is set by the installer.
$IQDIR16 Points to the product installation directory. This variable is set with a shell command after you run the installer.
Note: Do not install SAP Sybase IQ into a destination directory or path that contains spaces. The GUI installer warns you if you try to install to an invalid path; other installation methods do not display this warning.
