Transferring the ECRTP Files to the UNIX Server

Because the ECRTP files are binary files, you must transfer them from the Windows PC to the UNIX server using the binary transfer mode. You can use any transfer protocol that supports a binary transfer.

To copy the appropriate executables to a UNIX server, follow these steps:

  1. Open Windows Explorer.

  2. Open c:\Program Files\Sybase\

    The ECRTP for UNIX files are installed in a platform-specific directory on your system. The directories are:

    Under each directory are these subdirectories:

    If you need ODBC capability, such as:

    You need to install the DataDirect ODBC Drivers separately as covered in Chapter 6, “Installing ODBC Drivers.”

    NoteEven if you installed the DataDirect drivers for an earlier release of ECRTP, you must re-install them for this release because of password branding changes. When you re-install the DataDirect drivers, you do not need to uninstall the older DataDirect drivers first. If you purchased the drivers from DataDirect, re-installing the drivers is not necessary.

    Use a shared library version of ECRTP if you want it to be linked dynamically at runtime with your program. Use the static archive version of ECRTP if you want it to be linked at compile time.

  3. Use ftp with binary to send the contents of the appropriate directory to a UNIX server directory. The destination directory is arbitrary. Normally you copy executables to a directory in your PATH and the shared libraries in the shared library path.

  4. After you have transferred the files, do one the following based on the product version that you are installing:
