Installing Event Stream Processor

Install Event Stream Processor for use within a RAP system. See the Event Stream Processor Installation Guide for instructions on installing Event Stream Processor from the command line.

  1. Open a new command prompt. Do not reuse a command prompt from the installation of another RAP component.
  2. Install Event Stream Processor 5.1 or later (Event Stream Processor 5.1 Service Pack 1 is required when using SAP HANA).
    The installer may display additional options other than the options below but the suggestions detailed in this step are important when configuring Event Stream Processor for RAP. If no suggestion is made for an option, you can accept a default value or see the Event Stream Processor Installation Guide for additional information.
    1. Choose a custom installation. Set a custom password (for example, for the keystore, agent, or node) whenever the installer gives you this opportunity.
    2. Select to install all default packages.
    3. When prompted, choose to install a licensed copy of Event Stream Processor but continue the installation without a license key. Or if you already have a licensed server set up, choose the licensed server.
    4. During the cluster configuration portion of the installation:
      1. Provide the fully qualified host name of this machine.
      2. Choose to enable or disable SSL. If you enable SSL, modify the ESP Server URL in all of the commands throughout this guide to "esps://" instead of "esp://".
      3. Choose a custom cache port.
      4. Use native OS authentication to secure your cluster.

      The installer prompts for information regarding the Sybase Control Center (SCC) server. This SCC server is not your primary SCC server, so the port values relating to the server are not important but ensure you specify a port that is not in use. This installs the agent that communicates with SCC. The actual SCC server is installed using the Sybase Control Center installer.

      The installer completes copying files.

    5. If you are installing other Sybase components on this machine, ensure that the RMI port for the Event Stream Processor agent is unique from the RMI ports specified for other Sybase components. The default for all Sybase components is 9999.
    6. If the installer prompts you to start the Sybase Control Center service, decline.
    7. If the installer prompts you to start the ESP Studio, decline.
