You can install ETL Server using either the console or silent mode. On Windows, ETL Server can be installed using silent mode only. On UNIX and Linux, ETL Server can be installed using console mode or silent mode.
At the command prompt, navigate to the installation directory and enter:
SybaseETLServer.exe /VERYSILENT /DIR=<installation directory> /TASKS="InstallAsService,Allusers"
where:
DIR – is the directory path where you want to install ETL Server. Sybase recommends that you use only alphanumeric characters and do not include white spaces in the installation path.
(Optional) TASKS – are the additional tasks you want the installer to perform, such as installing ETL Server as a Windows service or installing for all users.
At the command prompt, change to the installation directory, and launch the setup program:
SybaseETLServer.shar
Specify if you want to install the evaluation copy or a licensed copy.
Evaluation copy – enter “1” to install and use ETL Server without a license for a grace period of 30 days. To continue using ETL Server after the end of the grace period, you must obtain valid licenses from the SPDC.
Licensed copy – enter “2” to install and use ETL Server with a license.
A list of countries or regions appear. Select your location and press Enter. If you agree to the terms of the license agreement, enter “Y” to continue the installation. If you disagree with the terms of the license, enter “N” to exit the installation.
If you do not find a license agreement that matches your location, or if the license agreement is unreadable on your system, you can read all available license agreements at the Local Sybase Software Licenses Web site and rerun the setup program.
Enter the destination directory where you want to install ETL Server.
If the directory exists, this message appears:
The specified directory already exists and will be overwritten. [y/n]
Enter “Y” to install for all users, if you want to be able to launch the application on user accounts with restricted access rights.
When started the first time on a user account, all files requiring write privileges are copied to the user directory, typically, $HOME/SYBASE/Sybase ETL Server/<product_version>/Demodata.
Depending on whether you have selected to install for users, the log files will be located in the \log subdirectory of either the user or the installation directory.
If you have installed the licensed copy, select one of these license methods:
Use license file – enter “1” to provide the location of the license file.
After you provide the license, the installer verifies
whether the license is valid. If the installer cannot verify a valid
license, you can continue with the installation; however, the product
will stop working in 30 days, unless you obtain and install an appropriate
license.
Use previously deployed license server – enter “2” if you have a previously deployed license server.
Enter the license server host name of the machine where the license server is running, and the license server port number if the port number you are using is not the same as the default.
If the software is installed successfully, a message appears indicating a successful installation.
At the command prompt, navigate to the installation directory and enter:
SybaseETLServer.shar --silent --destination <dest> --all-user
where:
destination <dest> – is the directory path where you want to install ETL Server. Sybase recommends that you use only alphanumeric characters and do not include white spaces in the installation path.
all-user – allows you to launch the application on user accounts with restricted access rights.
After successful installation, copy the license into the licenses folder of the installation directory.
If you want to deploy the license to an existing license server, create a .lic file and copy it to the licenses folder after you have added this information:
License server host name of the machine where the license server is running.
License server port number if the port number you are using is not the same as the default.
For example:
"SERVER sysamserver ANY 27000 USE_SERVER"
where, sysamserver is the hostname of the machine where the license server is running, and 27000 is the default port number of the license server. See the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.
After successful installation:
Check for a valid installation of components. See “Checking for a valid installation”.
Configure ETL Development and ETL Server connectivity. See “Configuring connectivity between Sybase ETL components”.
