Selecting Installation Options

Specify the installation directory, installation type, Unwired Platform components, and additional installation options.

1. Specify the absolute path to the installation location, which must be on a local drive on the target host.

   The total length of the path must be 43 characters or less.

   Directory names in the path can contain only:

   • ASCII alphanumeric characters
   • Underscore ( _ ), hyphen ( - ), and period (.) characters (two consecutive period characters are not allowed and none of these characters may appear as the first character in a folder name)
   • No characters between "UnwiredPlatform" and the preceding "\" character.
2. Select Cluster and click Next.
3. Select the option for this Unwired Server cluster node and click Next.
   • Install the first server node and connect it to the data tier
   • Install an additional server node and connect it to the data tier
4. If a page appears, indicating that the installer detected missing third-party software, click:
   • Next to install the required software.
   • Back to select components to install that do not require the third-party software.
   • Cancel to stop the current installation.
5. (Optional) Select additional installation options.
   • Configure Unwired Platform communication ports to change default ports.
   • Set Sybase Unwired Platform services to start automatically to start services automatically when Windows starts. By default, this option is selected.

     Set Unwired Platform services to start automatically if you plan to install products that work with Unwired Platform, such as Sybase SAP® Data Orchestration Engine Connector and Sybase Mobile Sales for SAP CRM. If Unwired Platform services do not start automatically, dependent products will encounter problems.

   • Set Unwired Server name and cluster name. You can specify the cluster name, only when you install the first node in an Unwired Server cluster.

     Set Unwired Server name on subsequent nodes in an Unwired Server cluster. The name must be unique on the network segment.

   • Install node as scale-out node to streamline the server node to support high-volume business-to-consumer transactions. (This is available only after you first install Unwired Server in the same cluster. Recommended: Install a second Unwired Server node in the cluster before you install the first scale-out node.)
6. (Optional) If you selected Set Unwired Server name, enter a name for this Unwired Server instance. The name must be unique on the network segment.
   If you are installing the first node in the Unwired Server cluster, you can also enter a name for the cluster.

   Each server or cluster name:

   • Must contain only:
     • ASCII alphanumeric characters
     • Underscore ("_"), hyphen ("-"), and period (".") characters
   • Server names must be 32 characters or less and must begin with an alphanumeric character.
   • Cluster names must be 22 characters or less.
7. Enter information that Unwired Server needs to connect to the data tier.
   1. Enter the name of the data tier host.
   2. Enter the following for each configurable database listed:
      • Database Name
      • Port Number
      • Login
      • Password

      In a typical new installation, you need not change any prepopulated value, enter sql as the default password for each database.

      
      
      
8. (Optional) If you selected Configure Unwired Platform communication ports, change the default port numbers as needed.
   Note: For the server administration port, do not specify port numbers outside the range of 1024-32767. For other ports, the allowable range is 1024-65535.

   Every Unwired Server instance in a cluster must use the same communication port numbers. If you change any of the default port numbers, you must make the same change for each Unwired Server in the cluster.

   • Server administration

   • HTTP listeners

     • Application connections
     • REST/OData APIs
     • Data change notifications
   • Synchronization
     Note: Synchronization ports do not appear when you are installing a scale-out node.
   
   
   
9. Enter the password to be used for the supAdmin user in the first field, then enter it again in the second field to confirm, then click Next.
   The password must:

   • Be at least 8 characters, and no longer than 32 characters.
   • Contain only ASCII alphanumeric characters, plus underscore (_), hyphen (-), and period (.).
