Complete the administrative tasks before you begin your installation.
- Read the Enterprise Connect Data Access Release Bulletin for your platform. This
document provides product information that may not
be included in this guide, as well as information
about known issues or problems.
- Make a backup copy of your current Sybase software,
particularly if you plan to keep ECDA versions that were previously
installed.
- Make a copy of the installation worksheet for your platform for each server that you are
installing.
- Verify that you have authority to log in as "sybase" user account or another user that has
administrative privileges on the machine on which ECDA is being installed.
- Verify that the host server is connected to the
LAN and that network protocols are configured correctly. For instructions,
see your LAN administrator documentation.
- Verify previously installed Sybase products. When
you install ECDA into an existing directory structure, be aware
of any previously installed Sybase software and the version of that
software.
