Use GUI mode to install Adaptive Server and related products.
SAP strongly recommends that you install Adaptive Server version 15.7 SP100 into its own directory if possible. If you must install other products into the same directory, install Adaptive Server version 15.7 SP100 last.
Adaptive Server version 15.5 and later uses InstallAnywhere for its installation, while versions of Adaptive Server earlier than 15.5 and other Sybase products use InstallShield Multiplatform. Do not use both installers to install products into the same directory, as this creates files to be installed incorrectly and overwritten without warning.
If you are installing the Cluster Edition in private installation mode, SAP recommends that you install Adaptive Server on each node in the cluster in its own directory, and use the installer for each instance in the cluster. This ensures that environment variables, soft links, and so on are set correctly for each instance.
SAP recommends that you install products as a system administrator; however, root permissions are not required to run the installer. The installer creates the target directory (if necessary) and installs the selected components into that directory. At the end of the installation, you can verify the product installation. You may need to perform additional configuration procedures before you can use some products.
InstallAnywhere supports Section 508 functionality, with these limitations in the wizard:
Choose Install Set – the installer does not support the use of a keyboard shortcut to select the type of installation. You must use Tab to change the focus and the spacebar to choose.
Choose Product Features – does not allow you to choose an option using a keystroke. You must use a mouse to choose features.
At the end of the installation, verify that the product has installed correctly. You may also need to perform additional configuration procedures before using some products.
You have installed Adaptive Server and its related products. See the Cluster Users Guide to set up your cluster, Sybase Control Center Installation Guide to install the SCC management UI on your server, and the System Administration Guide for more advanced topics.
