You should be logged in as “sybase” when
you are performing installation tasks. Do not run InstallShield
as “root”.
InstallShield creates the target directory (if necessary) and installs all the selected components into that directory.
At the end of the installation, you can verify the product installation. You may need to perform additional configuration procedures before you can use some products.
As part of the installation, InstallShield sets most of the environment variables needed for Adaptive Server products. However, you must source other environment variables by running the SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh script file after exiting InstallShield.
To install server components:
Insert the Adaptive Server CD into the CD.
Change to the CD directory and start the installer by entering:
./setup
The welcome window displays
When the license selection window displays, select the most appropriate location from the drop-down list, read the license terms, and then click “I agree...” to proceed. Click Next.
Not every country is listed in the drop-down list. If the country you are located in is not listed, select the most appropriate area (‘Americas & Asia Pacific’, ‘Europe, Middle-East, and Africa’, or ‘Any Other Locations’).
The Install directory window allows you to select a directory for the installation by clicking Browse. You can accept the default of:
/opt/sybase
by clicking Next.
You can also enter a directory for installation.
When you browse “...” in the Destination
panel, a directory chooser dialog displays. In this dialog, you
must navigate to one directory above the “to-be-chosen” directory,
and enter or choose a directory name in the field, before clicking
OK.
You can choose from three types of installations in the Install Type window:
Typical
Full
Custom
Enhanced Full-Text Search, EJB Server, Language Modules
other than English, and Web Services are not installed as part of
a typical install. To install them, select Full or Custom install.
Or, you can install them later using the custom option.
If you select Custom, the Products and Features Selection window displays. Indicate the products you want to install by checking the box.
Some features are dependent on other features; therefore,
you cannot deselect some items without first deselecting others.
After you have made your selection, click Next. Before proceeding to the next window, InstallShield verifies the selections, and checks for dependencies and available disk space.
The Product Selection Summary window displays the selections that you have made.
Verify that you have selected the correct type of installation, and that you have enough disk space to complete the process. Click Next to proceed.
The Install Progress window shows the progress of the installation.
The Install Status window displays the result of the installation process.
Click Next to configure the software.
The Configure New Servers window asks if you want to configure new servers, depending upon the products you installed. If you choose to configure the new servers, the Custom Configure New Server Options window displays next. Select the servers you want to configure. If you do not configure the new servers at this point, deselect the item and click Next.
As part of the installation, you should have a local
server name for the server. If you do not, sp_sysmon
"cachewizard” does not work.
The Custom Configure New Server Options window allows you to select servers to configure. If you do not select any servers in this window, InstallShield configures all servers using default value.
If you choose the default values, InstallShield chooses everything including the server name, port number, and master device location. InstallShield does this for the System Procedure device. It also installs Backup Server, Monitor Server, and the XP Server, choosing the name, port number, and error log.
If you accept the defaults, the server names are:
Adaptive Server – <host name>
Backup Server – <host name>_BS
Monitor Server – <host name>_MS
XP Server – <host name>_XP
Job Scheduler – <hostname>_JS
Web Services – <hostname> _WS
If you configure the servers with default values, the Configure Server Attributes Summary window displays next.
If you select to configure the server with custom values, the Custom Configure Input window displays next.
The Custom Configure Input window prompts you for the custom Adaptive Server configuration information.
Server name
Port numbers
Page size
Error log
Master device
When configuring the master device, you should allow
an extra 8K for the config block.
Master device size (MB)
Master database size (MB)
System procedure device
System procedure device size (MB)
System procedure database size (MB)
Once you have customized the Adaptive Server configuration, select Next to record the input fields.
The Custom Configure Backup Server Input window prompts you for the Backup Server information.
Once you have entered the appropriate information, click Next to record the information.
The Custom Configure Monitor Server Input window prompts you to enter the Monitor Server configuration information.
Once you have entered the appropriate information, click Next to record the information.
The Custom Configure XP Server Input window prompts you to enter the XP Server configuration information.
Once you have entered the appropriate information, click Next to record the information.
The Configure Server Attributes Summary window displays a summary of the values that are used to configure the servers. These values are either the default or custom values. After verifying the information, click Next, and InstallShield proceeds with the server configuration.
The Configure Server Progress window displays the progress of the server configuration.
The Logout or Reboot window displays only when required. It reminds you to either log out or restart your machine to complete the installation process.
The Installation Complete window is the last window. Sybase strongly recommends that you check for software updates.
If you are installing the Developer’s Edition, the installation is complete. If you are installing the Small Business Edition or Enterprise Edition, proceed to the next section to enter the SySAM certificates to enable the server and any optional features purchased.
If you encounter any errors, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
