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
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 and Solaris) operating systems.

  1. If you received Sybase Control Center along with a product managed by SCC (Adaptive Server, Data Assurance, replication products, Event Stream Processor, or Sybase IQ), copy the Sybase Control Center installer from the media to the machine on which you plan to install it.
    To obtain Sybase Control Center on the Web, including product module plug-ins that were not included on the media with your server product, download the SCC installer from http://downloads.sybase.com.
  2. If necessary, unzip or untar the installer package.
  3. (Windows) If you are installing in any version of Windows, log in using an account with administrative privileges.
  4. (Windows) If you are installing 32-bit SCC on 64-bit Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 2008, set compatibility mode for the installer to Windows XP.
    Tip: To avoid these extra steps, use the 64-bit SCC Windows installer.
    1. Right-click setup.exe or setupConsole.exe.
    2. Select Properties.
    3. On the Compatibility tab, select Windows XP compatibility mode.
    4. Click OK.
  5. (Windows) If you are installing in Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 2008, set the Run as Administrator option on the installer. You must do this even if you already have administrative privileges.
    1. Right-click setup.exe or setupConsole.exe.
    2. Select Run as Administrator.
  6. (UNIX) 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 installer in text-based console mode.
  7. 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.
  8. Select the type of software license for Sybase Control Center. You need not obtain a license if you choose to install a licensed copy.
  9. Select the appropriate region, read the license terms, and select I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified.
  10. Select the directory in which to install Sybase Control Center.
    The default installation directory is:
    • Windows – C:\Sybase
    • UNIX – /opt/sybase
  11. If the warning message about installing into an existing directory appears, click Next.
  12. Select the type of installation:
    • Full – installs the Sybase Control Center server core functionality and all available product modules.
    • Custom – allows you to select the Sybase Control Center product modules to install. SCC core functionality is always installed.
    Note: For upgrades: If you used the earlier version of Sybase Control Center to manage and monitor more than one type of resource (Adaptive Server, Data Assurance, Event Stream Processor, Sybase IQ, Replication Server, Replication Agent, Mirror Replication Agent), install the same set of product module plug-ins with the new version of SCC.
  13. On the Preinstallation Summary screen, verify the selected installation features and confirm there is enough disk space available to complete the installation. To start the installation, click Install.
  14. 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 unless you will never run the older and newer versions at the same time.
  15. On the Configure RMI Port screen, make sure the RMI port specified does not conflict with any ports used by other applications and services on this machine.
  16. On the Security Login Modules screen, set the passwords for SCC administration login accounts:
    • sccadmin – the SCC administrator account
    • uafadmin – the SCC agent administrator account

    Your password must be at least six characters long.

  17. On the Review Configuration Summary screen, verify that the configuration is correct.
    To change the configuration settings, click Previous to return to the Configure Sybase Control Center and Configure RMI screens.
  18. On the Enable SCC Shared Disk screen, click Yes to enable shared-disk mode if you plan to run multiple SCC servers or agents from this installation. If you select Yes, specify a name for the first SCC instance (an SCC agent) on the next screen.
    The installer may take a few minutes to create and set up the instance.
  19. (Windows) On the Sybase Control Center Service Setup screen, select Yes to configure SCC as a Windows service.
    Sybase recommends that you configure a service in a production environment. If you select No, you must start Sybase Control Center manually.
  20. To start SCC when the installation is completed, select Yes on the Start Sybase Control Center screen.
    SCC may take a few minutes to start.
  21. Review the results on the Installation Completed screen and click Done.
