Installing with the Sybase Installer

Download the installer and install a Sybase Control Center server in GUI or console mode. The installer creates an SCC directory and installs the selected components into that directory.

Prerequisites
Perform the preinstallation tasks.
Task

The Sybase Control Center installer runs in GUI mode (as graphic dialogs) or in text-based console mode in both Windows and UNIX (Linux, Solaris, IBM AIX, and HPUX) operating systems.

  1. (Windows) Log in using an account with administrative privileges.
  2. Download the installer from http://downloads.sybase.com.
  3. If you are installing Sybase Control Center in GUI mode on a UNIX operating system, make sure the $DISPLAY environment variable is set to the machine where you want to view the installer.
    If you do not set this variable correctly, you see the text-based console.
  4. If you are installing on Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 2008 on x86 64-bit, set compatibility mode for the installer to Windows XP:
    1. Right-click setup.exe or setupConsole.exe and select Properties.
    2. On the Compatibility tab, select Windows XP compatibility mode.
    3. Click OK.
  5. Launch the installer:
    Operating system GUI mode Console mode
    Windows Open setup.exe Execute
    setupConsole.exe -i console
    UNIX Execute setup.bin Execute setup.bin -i console
    Note: If you have trouble starting the installer, make sure you have the required operating system patches for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6.
  6. On the introduction screen, click Next.
  7. Select the directory in which to install Sybase Control Center. Click Next.
    The default installation directory is:
    • Windows – C:\Sybase
    • UNIX – /opt/sybase
  8. If the Warning message for installing into an existing directory appears, click Next.
  9. Select the type of installation:
    • Full – installs the Sybase Control Center server, Sybase Control Center framework services, and all available components.
    • Custom – allows the user to select the components of Sybase Control Center to install.
  10. Select the type of software license for Sybase Control Center.
  11. Select the most appropriate region, read the license terms, and select I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified. Click Next.
  12. On the pre-install summary screen, verify the selected installation features and confirm there is enough available disk space to complete the installation. To start the installation click Next.
  13. On the Configure Sybase Control Center screen, make sure the HTTP and HTTPS ports specified do not conflict with any ports used by other applications and services on this machine. If you enter your own port numbers rather than accepting the defaults, make a note of them—you will need the port numbers to connect a browser to Sybase Control Center.
    If you are installing an upgrade, the HTTP and HTTPS port numbers cannot be the same as the port numbers used for the older version of Sybase Control Center.
  14. On the Configure RMI screen, make sure the RMI port specified does not conflict with any ports used by other applications and services on this machine.
  15. (Windows) On the Service Setup screen, to install Sybase Control Center as a Windows service, select Yes.
    If you select No, you must start Sybase Control Center manually.
