Perform the following tasks before you install
SAP Sybase IQ.
Check for Operating System Patches
Check with your vendor and apply the latest operating system patches. Do not use a patch that is earlier than the version suggested for your operating system.
Increase the Swap Space
The recommended minimum swap space is at least 1GB. Certain operations may cause the memory usage to grow dynamically. Changing the way SAP Sybase IQ uses buffers can dramatically change the way it uses memory.
License Server Requirements
SAP Sybase IQ requires SySAM license server version v11.6.1 or later, which is distributed on the SAP Sybase IQ Server Suite installation media. Using an older SySAM server can cause the server to become unresponsive. Install the license server before you install SAP Sybase IQ.
