Performing a Typical Installation in GUI Mode

Install the Event Stream Processor base adapters, the Server, and Sybase Control Center for SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor (including the SCC agent) in a single process on a single machine.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have root privileges. Before running the installer, create a distinct group and user for ESP, and ensure that the user only belongs to this group. Do not install ESP as root.

If you are installing on Sun-64 (SPARC) or Sun-64 (Ultra-SPARC T), do not set file descriptors to unlimited. Instead, run the command ulimit -n 1024 in the command shell (sh, ksh, and bash shells are supported).

Task
  1. Run the installer file, setup.bin. On the Introduction screen, click Next.
  2. Select an installation folder. Change the default folder by typing the filepath to the desired folder or by clicking Choose and selecting a folder. When finished, click Next.
    If the selected folder does not exist, click Yes when prompted to create the folder. If the folder already exists, you see a warning that any software in the folder will be replaced. Click Next to proceed with the installation in the existing folder.
  3. Choose the Typical install set, which installs the Event Stream Processor Server, the base adapters, the Sybase Control Center Server for SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor, and the Sybase Control Center Agent for SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor. Click Next.
  4. Select to install either a licensed copy or an evaluation version.
    Note: If you install the evaluation version, the software will be active for a 30-day grace period, after which you are prompted for a valid license key. During this grace period, there is no restriction on the number of cores ESP can use. Proceed to step 7.
  5. If you selected to install a licensed version, select one of these options:
    Specify License Keys, Use Previously Deployed License Server, or Continue Installation Without a License Key.
    License Type Process
    Specify License Keys
    • Enter the license key manually or browse for and load a license key.
    • Click Next.

    If you are using a served license and receive an error that the installer detects a SySAM server already running on your machine, click Previous to return to the SySAM License Entry panel and select the Previously Deployed License Server option.

    If you enter an invalid license key, you receive a warning message but can continue with the installation. The software is active for a 30-day grace period, after which you are prompted to enter a valid key.
    Previously Deployed License Server

    Enter the host name and port number or IP address.

    If the license server file is not found, you receive a warning message indicating that the installer cannot verify a license server running on the selected host. Reenter the host name and port number. If the installer cannot verify the license server, select a different licensing option to continue with the installation.
    Continue Without a License Key

    If you continue without a license, the software will be active for a 30-day grace period, after which you are prompted for a valid license key. During this grace period, there is no restriction on the number of cores ESP can use.
  6. From the drop-down list, select the type of product license you want to configure and click Next.
  7. Select Yes or No to indicate whether to configure e-mail alerts about SySAM events that may require an administrator's attention.
    If you select Yes, enter the SMTP server host name, SMTP server port number, sender e-mail address, recipient e-mail address, and message severity, or accept the defaults. Click Next.
    Note: To change the SySAM alert settings after installation, edit these lines in the ESP_HOME/sysam/esp_license.prop file:
    • email.smtp.host=smtp
    • email.smtp.port=25
    • email.sender=sender@domain.com
    • email.recipients=user@domain.com
    • email.severity=INFORMATIONAL

    Setting email.severity to NONE disables e-mail alerts, causing all other lines to be ignored. To enable e-mail alerts, set email.severity with ERROR, WARNING, or INFORMATIONAL. Replace SMTP with your SMTP host name, 25 with the port number of your SMTP mail server, sender@domain.com with your e-mail address, and user@domain.com with e-mail recipients. Separate multiple e-mail recipients with a comma (,).

  8. Use the drop-down list to select your geographic location and view the corresponding End-User License Agreement. Accept the terms and conditions to continue. Click Next.
  9. Review installation information before continuing. Click Previous to go back and make changes. Click Install to proceed with the installation.
  10. To install Sybase Control Center for Event Stream Processor:
    1. Enter and confirm a password for the SCC administrator. Minimum length is six characters.
      This password is encrypted and written to the SCC csi.properties file.
    2. If installing the SCC agent, enter and confirm a password for the SCC agent administrator.
  11. A message indicates Event Stream Processor was successfully installed into the location of your choice. Click Done to quit the installer.
