Installing in a Unique Directory on Windows

Installing SAP Replication Server in a unique directory may reset environment variables for other products and produce unpredictable results.

  1. Terminate all processes running on the system on which you are installing SAP Replication Server, including the SySAM License Server if you plan to upgrade it.
    Note: If you do not know which processes are running, contact your system administrator.

    To stop the SySAM license server, see the SySAM Users Guide.

  2. If you have an existing SAP ASE that runs as a Windows service, disable the service.
    1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
    2. In the Services list, right-click SAP SQLServer server name.
    3. Select Properties.
    4. Set Startup Type to Disabled.
    5. Close the Services window.
  3. Record the current environment variable settings in a file called env.orig by entering:
    set > env.orig
    You can read this file with a text editor.

    Specifically, record the current values of:

    • INCLUDE
    • LIB
    • LM_LICENSE_FILE
    • PATH
    • SYBASE
    • SYBASE_JRE
  4. Insert the SAP Replication Server media in the appropriate drive, or download and extract the installation image from the SAP Service Marketplace (SMP).
  5. Install the software.
  6. Specify a unique directory for the SAP Replication Server product.
  7. Specify the host name and port number of the license server.
  8. Change the environment variables to the original settings that you recorded in step 3:
    1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > System.
    2. Click the Advanced tab.
    3. Select Environment Variables.
    4. Under System Variables, change the values of the variables listed in step 3.
  9. Configure SAP ASE to start automatically:
    1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
    2. In the Services list, right-click the SAP SQLServer server name.
    3. Click Properties.
    4. Set Startup Type to Automatic.
  10. Restart your system.
    Note: When you install the software in a unique installation directory, you must maintain two sql.ini files: one for SAP Replication Server components and one for your other applications.
