Installing the Data Tier on its Own Host for a Deployment Installation

Install the data tier for Deployment Edition on a different 64-bit host machine from the rest of Sybase Unwired Platform. Do this before installing Unwired Platform components on other cluster nodes.

Prerequisites

Going through the task flow in Deployment (Production) Edition Task Flows, you should have performed these tasks:

Download a license file. See Obtaining a License.
If you are installing with a served license in an environment where there may not be a port free for the license server to open dynamically on startup, edit your license file to specify a port number. See Setting a Fixed Port Number for SySAM License Server.
(Optional) Create an installation image on your network. See Creating an Installation Image on the Network.
Verify the installation prerequisites. See System Requirements for Unwired Platform.
Verify that you are logged in with administrative rights.
Install Adobe Flash Player 9.0.124+ or FP10.x (recommended).
Shut down any Sybase products, Sybase processes, and associated third-party processes that are currently running on the server where you are now installing. This includes any database servers, OpenDS server, and Sybase Control Center.
Unless you are installing the Deployment Edition of Unwired Platform to coexist with version 1.2, uninstall any existing versions of Unwired Platform. See Uninstalling Sybase Unwired Platform.
If you are installing the deployment edition of Sybase Unwired Platform version 1.5.2 to coexist on a system with the deployment edition of version 1.2, see the limitations listed in Installing the Deployment Edition to Coexist with Version 1.2.
Due to a NetBIOS limitation, make sure the host name is fewer than 15 characters. See the Microsoft Help and Support article Naming Conventions in Active Directory (909264).
Print the Installation Worksheet to note pertinent installation details. Having this information available will expedite the completion of installations on subsequent cluster nodes.

Note:

The deployment edition of Unwired Platform can only be installed on 64-bit Windows systems. This is necessary to provide optimal performance for a production system. When you run the deployment installer on a 32-bit system, only Afaria is available for installation.

Note:

If you run the Deployment Edition installer again on a machine where you have already installed Unwired Platform version 1.5.2, the installer detects the existing installation and takes you to the component selection page as soon as you have accepted the end user licensing agreement. Resume with step 12 in Performing a Custom Installation of Deployment Edition.

Start the Sybase Unwired Platform installer using one of these methods:
- Insert the Sybase Unwired Platform installation media.
- Install from a Web download. Extract the four archives to the same temporary directory on a local disk, not a shared drive.
- Install from an image on the network. You must access the installation image from a mapped drive, not a UNC path.
1. If installing from installation media, select Start > Run.
2. Browse to the location of the setup.exe file on the installation media or in the temporary directory, and click OK.
On the installer welcome page, click Next.

On the license type page, select your license type and click Next.

Option	Description
Evaluation	Allows you to evaluate Unwired Platform for 30 days. A license file is not required.
Unserved (local) license	A standalone license managed locally by your workstation. Be sure you know the location of the license file.
Served (remote) license	A standalone license managed by a license server. Be sure you know your license manager host name and TCP port.

On the end-user license agreement page, accept the terms of the license agreement.
1. Select the appropriate geographic location and read the license agreement.
2. Click I Do Agree to the Terms of the Sybase License, for the Install Location Specified, then click Next.

On the license details page, select or enter the information for your product license. See Locating Information in a License File.

Note: If you enter a combination of values on this page that does not match your license file, the error is not detected until the installer attempts to check out your license on the next page.

Enter your license information.
If you selected "Unserved (local) license" as the license type, on the unserved license file page enter the full path to the license file. Click Browse to browse to the file location.

If you selected "Served (remote) license" as the license type, on the SySAM license manager server page enter the Host Name of License Server and, optionally, change the TCP Port of License Server entry.

If you see a Failed to check out license error, and you think you may have entered license settings that do not match your license, click OK, then click Back to reenter the license settings.
On the installation directory page, accept the default installation directory or choose a different one.
- If the directory does not exist, click OK to create it.
- For best results, use English or Western European characters (cp1252/ISO-8859-1) for the installation directory path and directory names.
- You can use the underscore or hyphen character, but do not use symbols or spaces in the installation directory name.
Note: The directory path where Sybase Control Center is installed varies. If the SYBASE environment variable is defined and valid, Sybase Control Center installs in the directory path specified by the variable. Otherwise, Sybase Control Center installs in a sibling directory to the installation directory specified here. For example, if the installation directory is C:\Sybase\UnwiredPlatform, Sybase Control Center installs into C:\Sybase\SCC-3_0.
On the installation type page, select Cluster and click Next.
On the cluster setup selection page, select Install the data tier for your Unwired Platform cluster and click Next.
(Optional) Select additional installation options. The available options on the additional installation options page depend on the selections you made on the component selection page; you may not see all of the options listed below. Choose:
- Configure data tier to change default port numbers for the data tier or to install data tier into a high availability environment. This option appears only when you install the data tier without Unwired Server.
- Use Unwired Platform with an existing JDK Installation to indicate the fully qualified path to an existing JDK installation directory. Sybase Unwired Platform requires JDK 1.6.0_16.
  Note: On 64-bit systems, specify the fully qualified path to an existing 32-bit JDK installation.

On the cluster configuration information page, enter the information necessary to access the data tier in a cluster.

Option	Description
Cluster Configuration Password	Enter the password used by the cluster administrator to configure the cluster.
Confirm Cluster Configuration Password	Reenter the cluster configuration password.
UNC path to shared data folder Note: This field appears only when you are installing Unwired Server without the data tier	Universal naming convention path to the shared data folder. This folder must already exist, with the data tier installed and be shared to your network with write privileges. If the data tier is installed in the default installation directory on its host, the local path would be C:\Sybase\UnwiredPlatform\Data. You would share this directory to your network. If you share this directory with the name `Data`, and the computer where you are installing is named `myserver`, the UNC path would be \\myserver\Data.

Option

Description

UNC path to shared data folder

Note: This field appears only when you are installing Unwired Server without the data tier

Universal naming convention path to the shared data folder. This folder must already exist, with the data tier installed and be shared to your network with write privileges.

If the data tier is installed in the default installation directory on its host, the local path would be C:\Sybase\UnwiredPlatform\Data. You would share this directory to your network.

If you share this directory with the name Data, and the computer where you are installing is named myserver, the UNC path would be \\myserver\Data.

If you selected "Configure Data Tier" on the additional installation options page, on the port numbers for data tier page, enter port numbers and, optionally, specify a high availability environment:
