Installer Issues
CR#	Description
706443	Cannot validate passwords if you start sample Replication Server after installation. Workaround: Manually edit these attributes in the SAMPLE_RS.res file: rs.rs_idserver_pass rs.rs_rssd_prim_pass rs.rs_rssd_maint_pass rs.rs_ltm_rs_pass rs.rs_rs_sa_pass rs.rs_rs_pass See Syntax and Parameters for a Resource File in the Replication Server Configuration Guide.
705090	When you install Sybase IQ 15.4 ESD #1 into the same directory as Replication Server 15.7.1, the installation completes with an error. Workaround: Ignore the error and warning messages.
701924	The installer does not remove environment variables entries from earlier versions of $SYBASE/SYBASE.sh and $SYBASE/SYBASE.csh Workaround: Manually edit the $SYBASE/SYBASE.sh and $SYBASE/SYBASE.csh to remove environment variables that are pointing to versions you do not want to include.
685036	Installer generates incorrect value in a response file. The response file created by the installer includes extra characters that may cause errors during installation. For example: #Start Sample Replication Server #------------------------------- RS_START_SAMPLE_RS=\"\",\"No\" <---- wrong value RS_START_SAMPLE_RS_1= RS_START_SAMPLE_RS_2=No RS_START_SAMPLE_RS_BOOLEAN_1=0 RS_START_SAMPLE_RS_BOOLEAN_2=1 # Workaround: Edit the response file and change the response to Yes or No as appropriate.
668368	"./setup.bin: !: not found" message appears. You see an error message when you install Replication Server on a Solaris machine. Preparing to install... ./setup.bin: !: not found Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive... Configuring the installer for this system's environment... Workaround: Ignore the message and continue with the installation.
620755	Installation fails on Solaris SPARC. When the file descriptor limit is set to “unlimited,” the installer fails with this message: awk: insufficient memory for string storage Context is: >>> <<< Workaround: Set the hard file descriptor limit to a number.
619817	If the df command fails, the installer stops responding before the preinstallation summary pane appears. Workaround: Execute strace -e statfs, statfs64 df to identify the NFS mounts that have a problem. Then execute umount -l <path> to unmount all trouble NFS mounts. Re-run the installer.
619793	You cannot use the Tab and arrow keys to navigate the Choose Product Features window of the installation or uninstallation program. Workaround: Uninstaller – use the mouse to click the Choose Product Features window. This sets the focus on the window and allows you to use your keyboard. Installer – use the mouse to select the features in the Choose Product Features window.
619784	Cannot run installer with default tar tool. You see this error when the installer uses the GNU tar tool to extract files from the Replication Server suite archive: The included VM could not be unarchived (TAR). Please try to download the installer again and make sure that you download using 'binary' mode. Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy. Workaround: Define /usr/bin/tar in $PATH.
619779	The installer fails to launch if you specify a path to setup.bin that contains “..”. Workaround: Ensure that the path to setup.bin does not contain “..”.
618722	Interactive installation using response file does not work. When installing Replication Server in an interactive mode using a response file, the installer does not use the values stored in the file. In silent mode, the response file works as expected. Workaround: None.
