Installing Replication Server in a unique directory

WARNING! Installing Replication Server in a unique directory may reset environment variables for other Sybase products and produce unpredictable results.

To install Replication Server in a separate installation directory, follow the instructions detailed below:

  1. Shut down all Sybase processes running on the machine on which you are installing Replication Server, including SySAM. Shut down all Adaptive Server processes including Unified Agents.

    NoteIf you do not know what processes are running on the machine, see the system administrator.

    To stop SySAM:

    1. Go to %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_SYSAM%\bin.

    2. Execute:

      sysam stop
      
  2. If you have an existing Adaptive Server that runs as a Windows service, disable the service:

    1. In the Services window, right-click the Adaptive Server service, shown as Sybase SQLServer servername in the Services list.

    2. Select Properties.

    3. Set the Startup Type to Disabled.

    4. Close the Services window.

  3. Record the current environment variable settings by executing the following command from a command prompt window:

    set > env.orig
    

    This command saves the environment variables in a file called env.orig. You can read this file with a text editor to refer to these values later.

    Specifically, record the current values of:

  4. Insert the Replication Server product CD into the CD drive.

  5. Install Replication Server 15.0 as described in the Replication Server Installation Guide for Windows.

  6. Specify a unique directory for the Replication Server product.

  7. Click No when asked to register a Sybase Software Asset Management Certificate.

  8. Click Yes when asked, “Have you registered your Sybase Software Asset Management Certificates at a central license host?”

  9. Enter the host name and port number of the license server.

    Another window appears stating that the installation is complete.

  10. Change the environment variables to the original settings you recorded in step 3:

    1. Choose Start | Settings | Control Panel | System.

    2. Select the Advanced tab.

    3. Choose Environment Variables.

    4. Under System Variables, change the values of the variables listed in step 3.

  11. Configure Adaptive Server to start automatically:

    1. Choose Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services.

    2. Right-click the Adaptive Server service, shown as Sybase SQLServer servername in the Services list.

    3. Select Properties.

    4. Set Startup Type to Automatic.

  12. Restart your system.

NoteWhen you install Replication Server in a unique installation directory, you must maintain two sql.ini files—one sql.ini file for Replication Server components and another for your other Sybase applications.
