Description

691905 Setting SCC RMI port screen is unavailable.

When you choose custom installation and then select SCC RMI Agent plug-in, the screen to set the SCC RMI port is unavailable.

Workaround: Manually start SCC. If there is a port conflict, manually edit the service-config.xml in %SYBASE%\SCC-3_2\services\RMI to change the RMI port and then restart SCC.
689290 Cannot start Replication Server uninstaller when Replication Server is installed after Event Stream Processor.

If you installed Replication Server 15.7 after installing Sybase Event Stream Processor version 5.0 into the same directory, an error occurs when you launch the Replication Server uninstaller.

Workaround: Copy the iawin32.dll file from %SYBASE%\sybuninstall\ESP\main\resource to %SYBASE%\sybuninstall\RepServerSuite\resource, and then launch the Replication Server uninstaller.
685949, 619813 The console mode installer cannot correctly validate licenses entered during installation, resulting in license validation error.

Workaround: Install in GUI mode or use the 64-bit installer.

685524 When you execute isql in an installation where Replication Server 15.7 is installed on top of Adaptive Server 15.7, you get this error: Could NOT locate the point entry of cs_locator_drop in libsybcs64.dll.

Workaround: Move <installed_directory>\OCS-15_0\dll, <installed_directory)\OCS-15_0\lib3p, and %SYBASE%\OCS-15_0\lib3p64 to the front of the %PATH% environment variable value:
  1. Under Control Panel > System > Advanced tab, click Environment Variables
  2. In "System variables," select Path and click Edit.
  3. In "Variable value," find and paste the above directory names at the beginning of the variable.
642076 If you use the 32-bit version of Replication Server on a 64-bit operating system, a license installation grace period may not be provided. Replication Server does not start until a license is deployed.

Workaround: If you are evaluating the product, you need to request for an evaluation license from Sybase. Otherwise, you need to generate your licenses from SPDC and deploy them.

638452 The Replication Manager plug-in does not get deployed to Sybase Central when you install a 32-bit version Replication Manager on a 64-bit Windows system.

Workaround: Install the 64-bit version Replication Manager plug-in on 64-bit Windows systems.

619817 If the df command fails, the installer stops responding before the preinstallation summary pane appears.

Workaround: Execute strace -e statfs, statfs64 df to identify the NFS mounts that have a problem. Then execute umount -l <path> to unmount all trouble NFS mounts. Re-run the installer.

619807 On Microsoft Windows 2008, the installer can create the SDK installation directory only when you are logged in as an administrator.

Workaround: Create the installation directory before running the installer.

619793 You cannot use the Tab and arrow keys to navigate the Choose Product Features window of the installation or uninstallation program.

Workaround:

  • Uninstaller – use the mouse to click the Choose Product Features window. This sets the focus on the window and allows you to use your keyboard.
