The following section describes the steps you must follow to install and deploy both the RepConnector runtime component and RepConnector Manager. See Chapter 1, “Overview,” for more information about RepConnector.
Starting InstallShield on UNIX
Insert the RepConnector CD into your CD drive.
Mount the CD:
On a Solaris platform, the operating system mounts the CD automatically. If you get CD-reading errors, check your operating system kernel to verify that the ISO 9660 option is turned on.
If your CD shows up as anything other than repcon15.0sol, this means
you previously installed a Sybase CD on your system. Perform either
of these two options to install your current CD:
Restart your system.
Delete the sybasecd file in /vol/dsk.
On an IBM AIX platform, mount the CD using the following command, where repcon15aix is the CD drive device name, and cdrom is the name of the directory where the CD is to be mounted:
/usr/sbin/mount -v 'cdrfs' -r" device_name RC125IBM/cdrom
The location of the mount command is site-specific and may differ from what is shown in these instructions.
At the UNIX prompt, enter the following to start installation, where cdrom is the directory you specified when mounting the CD drive:
On Solaris,
At the command line, enter cd /cdrom/repcon15.0sol.
Enter ./setupSOL.bin.
On AIX:
At
the command line, enter cd /cdrom/repcon15.0aix.
Enter ./setupAIX.bin.
On Linux,
At the command line, enter:
cd /cdrom/repcon15.0$
Enter ./setupLinux
Starting InstallShield on Windows
Insert the RepConnector CD into your CD drive.
If InstallShield does not start automatically, go to the CD drive which holds the installation CD and double-click setupWIN.exe.
Installing RepConnector
components
To install either the RepConnector runtime component or RepConnector Manager after starting InstallShield:
When the InstallShield Welcome window appears, click Next.
On the End-user License Agreement window, select your country from the drop-down list and read the end-user license agreement carefully.
Select I Agree to continue with the installation.
If you do not select I Agree, you cannot install the
software. You must click Cancel to end the installation process.
Click Next.
Select one of the following:
RepConnector for Sybase EAServer, which installs the RepConnector runtime component into the EAServer directory structure. Click Next, then follow the steps in “Installing the RepConnector runtime component.”
You must have Sybase EAServer 5.2 already installed
and running on your machine before you can install this option.
RepConnector for BEA WebLogic, which installs the RepConnector runtime component into the WebLogic directory structure. Click Next, then follow the steps in “Installing the RepConnector runtime component.”
You must have BEA WebLogic version 8.1 already installed and
running on your machine before you can install this option.
RepConnector Manager, which installs the RepConnector Manager component. Click Next, then follow the steps in “Installing RepConnector Manager”.
Installing the RepConnector
runtime component
After you have completed the previous procedure, follow these steps to install the RepConnector runtime component using InstallShield:
Enter or browse for the name of the directory where the selected application server is installed.
For example, if you are installing RepConnector with EAServer, the default location is:
On Windows, %SYBASE%\EAServer
On UNIX, $SYBASE/EAServer
Click Next.
Enter connectivity information for your application server:
If you are installing on EAServer, enter the EAServer information (the defaults are listed):
Host name = (your machine name)
Port number = 9000, or your port number
User name = jagadmin, or your user name
Password = (blank)
If you are installing on BEA WebLogic Server, enter the WebLogic information (the defaults are listed):
Host name = (your machine name)
Domain name = (your domain name)
Server name = (your server name)
Port number = 7001, or your port number
User name = weblogic, or your user name
Password = (blank)
InstallShield tries to connect to the application server by sending a ping. If the ping is successful, InstallShield takes you to the next step.
If the ping is not successful, InstallShield displays an error message:
Ping to the server failed. Verify that the server is running, and that you have entered valid information
To troubleshoot the error:
Verify that the server is running and ready to accept connections. See “Before installing” for more information.
If the server is running, verify that the information you entered in the previous step is correct. See your system administrator if you are not able to verify this information.
If the server is not running, restart it.
If the server is running, the information in the InstallShield wizard is correct, and there is no other apparent reason for the failure, ask your Sybase representative to call Sybase Technical Support.
In the preview window, verify the size of the installation. If th installation is larger than the space you have available, see your system administrator to reassess the requirements.
InstallShield installs the RepConnector runtime component, then deploys it to the application server.
If you have an existing RepConnector installation, InstallShield asks if you want to overwrite that installation. Click Yes to overwrite or Cancel.
When InstallShield finishes installing and deploying the RepConnector runtime component, it prompts you to select one of these options:
Install RepConnector Manager, which takes you to the InstallShield page that installs Eclipse (if it is not already installed on your machine) and the RepConnector administration tool. Click Next and proceed to the next section, Installing RepConnector Manager.
You can also install RepConnector Manager at a later
time or on a separate machine.
Do not install RepConnector Manager, which takes you to the last page of InstallShield and completes installation. Click Finish.
