The following describes the DirectConnect installation process in GUI mode.
To install DirectConnect
Verify that the drive on which you 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 space after the installation is complete.
Insert the Mainframe Connect DirectConnect CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
For UNIX, if auto-mount is not available, follow your local mounting procedures.
InstallShield should start automatically. If it does not start:
For Windows, select Start | Run, and enter the following, where x: is your CD drive:
x:\setupwin32.exe
For UNIX, enter the following, depending on the platform:
For AIX:
./setupAIX
For HP11:
./setupHP11
For Solaris:
./setupSolaris
The Welcome window appears. Click Next.
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:
For Windows:
x:\setupwin.exe -is:tempdir <directory_name>
For UNIX:
./setup<platform> -is:tempdir <directory_name>
where directory_name is the name of the temporary directory to which the installation program will write its temporary files.
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 DirectConnect 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.
In certain cases when DirectConnect 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.
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 DirectConnect. One of the following occurs:
If the installation directory you chose does not exist, InstallShield 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.
You will not see this message if the directory exists
but is empty.
If you are prompted to overwrite any DLLs, (Windows) or files (UNIX) select Yes only if the version of the new DLL or file is later than the one you are attempting to overwrite.
Select Yes or No to indicate if you have SNA installed on your system. Click Next.
Select one of the two installation types:
Sybase recommends that you select the Custom install.
Full, which installs all DirectConnect products and components from the CD.
Custom, which allows you to select the components for DirectConnect to install.
Click Next.
Select the components that you want to install. Because all the components are already “checked” or selected, you must “uncheck” or deselect the components that you do not want to install.
Be 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 the desired components, click Next.
Depending on your response to step 7, one of the following occurs:
If you selected Yes, to indicate that SNA is installed, click Next.
If you selected No, to indicate that SNA is not installed, a window appears with the following warning:
The "TRS Access Service for SNA option" while shown as a selectable item on the next screen, WILL NOT BE INSTALLED because you do not have SNA on your system.
Click Next.
Before proceeding to the next window, InstallShield 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.
If 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.
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 InstallShield Wizard has completed installing your product. Click Next.
A window displays a message indicating that the installation was successful and advising you to check for software updates. You are also advised to enter Software Asset Management Certificates by running the following tool:
For Windows:
C:\%SYBASE%\%SYSAM-1_0%\bin\mgr
For UNIX:
C:/$SYBASE/$SYSAM-1_0/bin/mgr
Click Finish to clear the window.
