Installing ECDA in GUI mode

The following describes the ECDA Option for ODBC and the ECDA Option for Oracle installation process in GUI mode.

StepsTo install in GUI mode

  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.

    The installation program should start automatically. If it does not, select Start | Run, and enter the following, where x: is your CD drive:

    x:\setup.exe
    

    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:

    x:\setup.exe -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:

    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 instruct the installer to overwrite these files and proceed with the installation by selecting Yes to All.

  6. Select one of the two installation types:

    Click Next.

  7. Based on your selection:

    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?
    
  10. If you select Yes and the license server is not found, or you select No and the local license file is not installed on your local machine, this message displays:

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

    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.

  12. Enter the following:

    Click Next.

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

    Click Finish.
