Installing in GUI Mode

The installer creates a target directory and installs the selected components into that directory.

Prerequisites
Verify that the drive on which you install the SAP Replication Server has enough disk space for the components being installed, and at least 1GB of extra disk space for the installation program.
Task
  1. Insert the installation media in the appropriate drive, or download and extract the SAP Replication Server installation image from the SAP Service Marketplace (SMP).
  2. Launch the setup program.
    If the installer does not start automatically, double-click setup.exe or select Start > Run and enter the following, where x is your CD or DVD drive: 
    x:\setup.exe
    If there is not enough disk space in the temporary disk space directory, set the environment variable TMP to directory_name before running the installer again, where directory_name is where the installation program writes the temporary installation files. When specifying directory_name, include its full path.
  3. If you downloaded the product from SMP, go to the directory where you extracted the installation image and start the installer:
    ./setup.bin

    If you are installing using the CD or DVD, mount it and start the installer.

    • On HP-UX: 
      cd /cdrom
./setup.bin
    • On IBM AIX: 
      cd /device_name 
./setup.bin
    • On Solaris:
      cd /cdrom/Volume Label
./setup.bin
    • On Linux and Linux on POWER:
      cd /mnt/cdrom
./setup.bin
    where:
    • cdrom and /mnt/cdrom is the directory (mount-point) you specified when mounting the CD or DVD drive.
    • device_name is the name of the CD or DVD device drive.
    • setup.bin is the name of the executable file name for installing SAP Replication Server.

    If there is not enough disk space in the temporary disk space directory, set the environment variable IATEMPDIR to tmp_dir before running the installer again, where tmp_dir is where the installation program writes the temporary installation files. When specifying tmp_dir, include its full path.

  4. In the Introduction window, click Next.
  5. Specify where to install the SAP Replication Server.
    Do not use double-byte, single-, or double-quote characters in the installation path. The installer does not recognize these, and displays an error.
    Option Description
    Click Choose. Browse for and select the installation directory.
    Enter a new directory path. Create a new directory.
    Click Restore Default Folder. Use the default directory instead of the directory you have entered or selected.
    • If the directory you chose does not exist, click Yes to create it.
    • If it does exist, and already contains a current installation, you are warned that you will overwrite the older version. Click Next.

      The installer checks that the version you want to update is compatible with the version of the SAP Replication Server you are installing. If the version is incompatible, the Check Upgrade Incompatible Version dialog appears, and you see this: 

      Warning: The current "SAP Replication Server" in your 
destination directory is not compatible with this version upgrade; some bug fixes may be unavailable
if you proceed. See the release note for more information.

      You may see a similar message if your SAP Replication Server is an out-of-band release, such as an emergency bug fix, one-off, controlled, or instrumental release:

      Warning: The current "SAP Replication Server" in your 
destination directory is an out-of-band release; some bug fixes may be unavailable if you proceed. 
Verify that the bug fixes you need are in this newer version before proceeding with the upgrade.
      If you see such messages, click Cancel to stop the installation process. To override the error and continue with the installation, select Proceed installation with incompatible version and click Next.
      Warning!  Upgrading to an incompatible version may cause software regression. SAP recommends that you cancel the installation and obtain a compatible version of an SAP Replication Server.
      If you perform the installation in silent, or unattended mode, and the versions are incompatible, the installer prompts you to re-run the installer with this argument, then quit:
      DALLOW_UPGRADE_TO_INCOMPATIBLE_VERSION=true
  6. Select the type of installation:
    Option Description
    Typical Installs the default components. This is recommended for most users.
    Full Installs every component, including all the supported language modules.
    Custom Lets you select the components to install. Some components are automatically installed if they are required to run your selected components.
    Click Next.
  7. Select the geographic location, agree to the license agreement, then click Next.
  8. In the SySAM License Server window:
    Option Choose
    Specify license keys Either:
    • Click Browse to select the license file.
    • Use Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click to select multiple license files. The license pane displays the license information.
    • Copy and paste the license information directly in the license pane.

    Click Next.

    If you specify a served license key, the installer prompts you to install a new SySAM license server. Select:
    • Next – to install the new SySAM license server. Follow the installation prompts.
    • Previous – and select Use previously deployed license server if you have an existing SySAM license server on the same host.
    Use previously deployed license server Enter the:
    • Host name of the machine where the license server is running
    • Port number if the port number you are using is not the default

    Click Next.
    Continue installation without a license key If you do not have licenses for any of the components, select this option, then click Next to proceed.

    The installer allows you to install and use the components without a license for a grace period of 30 days. To continue using these components after the end of the grace period, obtain valid licenses, and install these licenses using the SAP Replication Server license installer.

    Use sysadmin lmconfig to configure and show license management-related information in the SAP Replication Server. See sysadmin lmconfig in the Reference Manual.

  9. Set SySAM e-mail configuration if necessary. Click Next.
  10. The installation summary window displays the selections you have made. Review the information, and click Install.
  11. In the Start Sample Replication Server window, select:
    Option Description
    Yes Configure and start a sample Replication Server. The installer displays the configuration information for the sample Replication Server. Record this information.
    You can enter a maximum of 30 bytes in the password field. For a:
    • Single-byte character – enter 6 to 30 characters.
    • Double-byte character – enter 3 to 15 characters.
    No Manually configure a full-featured SAP Replication Server and start a sample Replication Server after installation. The installer prompts you to either create a sample Replication Server directory or to proceed with the installation. Select either:
    • Yes – to create a sample Replication Server directory without starting the sample Replication Server, or,
    • No – to continue with the installation.
    Note: You cannot start the sample Replication Server on Linux on POWER because the ERSSD requires an SAP® SQL Anywhere® Server, which is not available on Linux on POWER.

    Click Next.

  12. Click Done.
Next
Verify that the installation is valid and successful.
