Installing Replication Server with the GUI Wizard

The installer creates the target directory and installs the selected components into that directory.

Prerequisites
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.
Task
  1. Insert the Replication Server media in the appropriate drive, or download and extract the Replication Server installation image from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC).
  2. If you downloaded the product from SPDC, go to the directory where you extracted the installation image and start the installer:
    ./setup.bin

    If you are installing using CD or DVD, mount it and start the installer.

    • On HP-UX:
      cd /cdrom
      ./setup.bin
    • On IBM AIX:
      cd /device_name 
      ./setup.bin 
    • On Sun Solaris:
      cd /cdrom/Volume Label
      ./setup.bin
    • On Linux and Linux on POWER:
      cd /mnt/cdrom
      ./setup.bin
    where:
    • cdrom and /mnt/cdrom is the directory (mount-point) you specified when mounting the CD or DVD drive.
    • device_name is the name of the CD or DVD device drive.
    • setup.bin is the executable file name to install Replication Server.

    If there is not enough disk space in the temporary disk space directory, set the environment variable IATEMPDIR to tmp_dir before running the installer again, where tmp_dir is where the installation program writes the temporary installation files. When specifying the tmp_dir, include the full path.

  3. In the Introduction window, click Next.
  4. Specify where to install Replication Server:
    Option Description

    To restore to the default directory if you do not want to use the directory that you have entered.

    • If the directory you chose does not exist, click Yes to create it.
    • If it does exist, and already contains a Replication Server installation, you are warned that you will overwrite the older version. Click Next.
  5. Select the type of installation:
    Option Description
    Typical Installs the default components. This is recommended for most users.
    Full Installs every Replication Server component, including all the supported language modules.
    Custom Lets you select the components to install. Some components are automatically installed if they are required to run your selected components.
    Click Next.
  6. Select the geographic location, agree to the license agreement, then click Next.
  7. On the Sybase Software Asset Management License Server window:
    Option Choose
    Specify license keys Either:
    • Click Browse to select the license file.
    • Use Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click to select multiple license files. The license pane displays the license information.
    • 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. Select:
    • Next – to install the new SySAM license server. Follow the installation prompts.
    • Previous – and select Use previously deployed license server if you have an existing SySAM license server on the same host.
    Use previously deployed license server Enter the:
    • Host name of the machine where the license server is running
    • Port number if the port number you are using is not the default

    Click Next.

    Continue installation without a license key

    If you do not have licenses for any of the Replication Server components, select this option, then click Next to proceed.

    The installer allows you to install and use 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.

    Use sysadmin lmconfig to configure and show license management-related information in Replication Server. See Replication Server Reference Manual > Replication Server Commands > sysadmin lmconfig.

  8. Set SySAM e-mail configuration if necessary. Click Next.
  9. The installation summary window displays the selections you have made. Review the information, and click Install.
  10. On the Start Sample Replication Server window, select:
    Option Description
    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. You can manually configure a full-featured Replication Server and start a sample Replication Server after installation.

    Click Next.

  11. When the installation finished, click Done.
