Installing Replication Server in GUI mode

Follow the procedure to install Replication Server components in GUI mode.

Verify that the drive on which you install the Replication Server has enough disk space for the components being installed, and at least 100MB of extra disk space for the installation program.

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.

Mount and install the CD.

On HP Itanium:

Log out, log in as “root”, and mount the CD using:

mount -F cdfs -o ro device_name /mnt/cdrom

Log out as “root” and log in again as “sybase.”

Start the installer:

cd /cdrom ./setup.bin

On IBM AIX:

Log in as “sybase” and mount the CD:

mount -v 'cdrfs' -r device_name /mnt/cdrom

Start the installer:

cd /device_name ./setup.bin

On Sun Solaris:

The operating system mounts the CD automatically. Log in as “sybase.” If you get CD-reading errors, check your operating system kernel to make sure the ISO 9660 option is turned on.

CD-reading errors Check your operating system kernel to make sure the ISO 9660 option is turned on.

CD pathname with a # sign If you have previously installed a Sybase CD on your system. The # sign will interfere with the installation process. To avoid this, perform one of the following actions before installing your current CD:

Restart your system.

Eject the CD. Delete the Volume Label file in /vol/dsk, and reinsert the CD.

Start the installer:

cd /cdrom/Volume Label ./setup.bin

On Linux and Linux on POWER:

Log in as “sybase” and mount the CD:

# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Start the installer:

cd /mnt/cdrom ./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.

Installer does not have enough space to run Set the environment variable IATEMPDIR to tmp_dir before running the installer again, where tmp_dir is the temporary directory to which the installation program writes the temporary installation files. When specifying the tmp_dir, include the full path.

In the Introduction window, click Next.

Indicate where to install Replication Server:

To select an installation directory, click Choose. A window appears, and from that window browse for and select the directory.
To create a new directory, enter a new directory path.
To restore to the default directory if you do not want to use the directory that you have entered, click Restore Default Folder.

One of these occurs:

If the installation directory you chose does not exist, this message appears:
```
The directory <directory_name> does not exist. Do you want to create it?
```
Click Yes.

If the installation directory you selected exists, and contains a prior installation, this message appears:

Warning: You have chosen to install into an existing directory. 
If you proceed with this installation, any older
versions of the products you choose to install
that are detected in this directory will be replaced.

Click Next.

Select the type of installation:

Typical – installs the default components. This is recommended for most users.
Full – installs every Replication Server component, including all the supported language modules.
Custom – selects the components to install. Some components are automatically installed if they are required to run your selected components.

Click Next.

Read the License and Copyright Agreement:

Select the geographic location from where you are installing to display the agreement for your region.
Select “I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified.” You must agree to the license and copyright agreement before you can continue with the installation.
Click Next.

On the Sybase Software Asset Management License Server window, select one of:

Specify License Keys – click Browse to select the license file. To select multiple license files, use Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click. The license pane displays the license information.

Alternatively, copy and paste the license information directly in the license pane. Click Next.

If you specify a served license key, the installer prompts you to install a new SySAM license server. Click one of:
- Next – to install the new SySAM license server and follow the installation prompts.
- Previous – and select the “Use previously deployed license server” option if you have an existing SySAM license server on the same host.
Use Previously Deployed License Server – if you have a previously deployed license server, enter the host name of the machine where the license server is running, and the port number if the port number you are using is not default. Click Next.
Continue installation without a license key – if you do not have licenses for any of the Replication Server components, you can select this option, and click Next to proceed. The installer allows you to install and use the Replication Server components without a license for a grace period of 30 days. To continue using these components after the end of the grace period, obtain valid licenses from the SPDC, and install these licenses using the Replication Server License Installer.

For more information on SySAM licensing, see the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.

Configuring your server for e-mail notification enables designated users receive information about license management events requiring attention.

Provide the following information:

SMTP server host name
SMTP server port number
E-mail Return Address
Recipient e-mail addresses
Message severity that triggers e-mail messages

Click Next.

The installation summary window displays the selections you have made. Review the information, and click Install.

On the Start Sample Replication Server window, select:

Yes – to configure and start a sample Replication Server. The installer displays the configuration information for the sample Replication Server. Write this information down.
No – to complete the installation and configure a fully-featured Replication Server manually.

If you select No, you can configure and start a sample Replication Server after installation.

Click Next.

If you chose to configure and start a sample Replication Server, the installer will proceed with the process to configure and start the sample Replication Server.

Click Next when done.

If Replication Server is installed successfully, a final window appears, indicating a successful installation. Click Done to exit the installer.

After the successful installation:

Verify the installation. See “Checking for a valid installation”.

Perform the postintsallation tasks. See Chapter 3, “Postinstallation Tasks.”
