Installing in GUI Mode

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

The installer for DA server and agents is on the same CD used to install Replication Server. Although you can install one DA server and one DA agent at a time from the installer on a machine, you must run the installer again to install additional DA agents. You cannot install DA server and agents remotely, so you may need to mount the CD and install on more than one machine, depending on your chosen deployment.

  1. Verify that the drive on which you will install the DA server and agents has enough disk space.
  2. Insert the Replication Server DA Option media in the appropriate drive, or download and extract the installation image from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC).
  3. (Windows) Launch the setup program.
    Note: If the installer does not start automatically, double-click setup.exe or select Start > Run and enter:
    x:\da_installer\setup.exe
    where x: is your CD drive.
    Set the environment variable TMP to directory_name, where directory_name is the name of the temporary directory to which the installation program writes the temporary installation files.For example:
    set TMP=C:\WINDOWS\Temp
    When specifying the directory_name, include its full path. Reexecute setup.exe.
  4. (UNIX) If you downloaded the product from SPDC, go to the directory where you extracted the installation image and start the installer:
    ./da_installer/setup.bin

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

    Note: The location of the mount command is site-specific and may differ from the instructions shown here. If you cannot mount the CD drive using the path shown, check your operating system documentation or contact your system administrator.
    • On HP-UX Itanium:
    1. Log out, log in as “root”, and mount the CD using:
      mount -F cdfs -o ro device_name /mnt/cdrom
    2. Log out as “root” and log in again as “sybase.”
    3. Start the installer:
      cd /cdrom
      ./da_installer/setup.bin
    • On IBM AIX:
    1. Log in as “sybase” and mount the CD:
      mount -v 'cdrfs' -r device_name /mnt/cdrom
    2. Start the installer:
      cd /device_name 
      ./da_installer/setup.bin
    • On Sun Solaris:
    1. The operating system automatically mounts the CD. Log in as “sybase.”
      Note: If you get CD-reading errors, check your operating system kernel to make sure that the ISO 9660 option is turned on.
      If you have previously installed a Sybase product on your system using a CD, the # sign interferes with the installation process. Before using the current CD, either:
      • Restart your system, or,
      • Eject the CD. Delete the Volume Label file in /vol/dsk, and reinsert the CD.
    2. Start the installer:
      cd /cdrom/Volume Label
      ./da_installer/setup.bin
    • On Linux and Linux on POWER:
    1. Log in as “sybase” and mount the CD:
      # mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
    2. Start the installer:
      cd /mnt/cdrom
      ./da_installer/setup.bin
      where:
      • cdrom and /mnt/cdrom is the directory (mount-point) you specified when mounting the CD drive.
      • device_name is the name of the CD device drive.
      • setup.bin is the executable file name to install Replication Server DA Option.
      Set the environment variable IATEMPDIR to tmp_dir, where tmp_dir is the temporary directory to which the installation program writes the temporary installation files. For example, in C shell:
      setenv IATEMPDIR "/usr/bin/tmp_dir"

      When specifying the tmp_dir, include the full path. Reexecute setup.bin.

  5. In the Introduction window, click Next.
  6. Select your geographic location to display the agreement appropriate to your region. Read the end-user license agreement. Select I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified, and click Next.
  7. Specify where to install Replication Server DA Option and click Next.
  8. Select an install set, then click Next:
    • Data Assurance server – installs the DA server.
    • Data Assurance agent – installs the DA agent. For the best performance, Sybase recommends that you install the DA agent on the machine where your database resides.
    • Custom – allows you to customize the features to be installed. Use this option to install both the DA server and the DA agent at once.

    Click Next.

  9. If you chose Custom in the previous step, select the features to install, and click Next.
  10. Specify the configuration settings for DA server and/or agent:
