Installing ECDA in GUI mode

StepsTo install ECDA Options

  1. Verify that the drive on which you will install the products has enough free disk space for the products being installed, and at least 10MB extra disk space for the installation program. The program frees this extra space after the installation is complete.

  2. Insert the ECDA CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

    If auto-mount is not available on your machine, follow local procedures for mounting the CD-ROM.

    For IBM AIX, HP-UX, HP Itanium, Linux, and Sun Solaris platforms, enter:

    ./setup
    

    The Welcome window appears.

  3. Click Next to proceed with the installation.

    You may see the following error message:

    Error writing file =  There may not be enough temporary disk space. Try using -is:tempdir to use a temporary directory on a partition with more disk space.
    

    If so, set the temporary directory to another directory that has more disk space by entering the following at the command line:

    ./setup -is:tempdir <directory_name>
    

    where directory_name is the name of the temporary directory to which the installation program will write its temporary files.

  4. Read the License and Copyright Agreement. Using the drop-down list at the top of the window, select the geographic location where you are installing ECDA to display the agreement appropriate to your region. Select “I agree” and click Next.

    You must agree to the license and copyright agreement before you can continue.

  5. In the installation directory window, click Next to accept the default directory for the installation, or enter a different directory where you want to install ECDA. One of the following occurs:

    • If the installation directory you chose does not exist, the installation program prompts:

      The directory does not exist. Do you want to create it?
      

      Click Yes.

    • If the installation directory exists and contains files, the software prompts:

      You have chosen to install into an existing directory. Any older versions of the products you choose to install that are detected in this directory will be replaced.
      

      NoteYou will not see this message if the directory exists but is empty.

      If you are prompted to overwrite any files, select Yes only if the version of the new files is later than the one you are attempting to overwrite.

      NoteIn certain cases when ECDA is installed with other Sybase products, you may see warnings about overwriting newer versions of files. In these cases, simply select Yes to All to instruct the installation program to overwrite these files and proceed with the installation.

  6. Select one of the two installation types:

    • Custom, which allows you to select the ECDA options and components to install

    • Full, which installs all ECDA products and components from the CD

    Click Next.

  7. Based on your selection:

    • If you selected Custom, the next window displays all the ECDA options and all the components “checked” or selected. You must “uncheck” or deselect the components that you do not want to install.

      NoteBe aware that if you deselect a component that is required, it is automatically installed if it is needed to run other selected components.

      After you have selected either the ECDA Option for ODBC or ECDA Option for Oracle, and selected the desired components, click Next.

    • If you selected Full, the next window displays all the ECDA options including ECDA Option for ODBC and ECDA Option for Oracle, and all of the components “checked” (selected). Click Next.

    Before proceeding to the next window, the installation program verifies the selections, and checks for dependencies and available disk space. The Product Summary window displays every component that is to be installed and the total disk space required for all the selected components.

    NoteIf the target directory does not have enough free space, the space-required and the space-available information is displayed. If you click Next without sufficient hard disk space, an error occurs that stops the installation.

  8. Verify that you have selected the correct type of installation, and that you have enough disk space to complete the process. Click Next to continue the installation.

    The installation program unloads all the components from the CD and displays a progress indicator. When the installation is complete, a message appears indicating that the installation program wizard has completed installing your product.

  9. Click Next. The SySAM License Server window opens and displays this prompt:

    Will licenses be obtained from the License Server?
    

    If you select Yes and the license server is not found, or if you select No and the local license file is not installed on your local machine, this message appears:

    Installer can’t check out a license. Do you want to continue without a license?
    
  10. Click Yes to complete the installation. If you select No, this message appears:

    Please remember to download and install the license file after this installation.
    

    Click OK.

    The SySAM Notification window asks you to configure your server for e-mail notification. When configuration is enabled, you will receive information about license management events requiring attention.

  11. Enter values for these fields:

    Click Next.

  12. A window displays a message indicating that the installation was successful and advising you to check for software updates. Click Finish.
