To
ensure that SAP ASE product files and directories are created with consistent ownership and
privileges, create a system administrator account.
One
user—typically the system administrator, who has read, write, and execute
privileges—should perform all installation, configuration, and upgrade tasks.
- To create a system administrator account, choose an existing
account, or create a new account and assign a user ID, group ID, and password for
it.
This account is sometimes called the “sybase” user account. See your
operating system documentation for instructions on creating a new user
account.
If you have installed other SAP software, the "sybase"
user should already exist.
- Verify that you can log in to the machine using this account.
