The ASE 15 PC-Client CD contains several products packaged with their own installers. Before installing any products, review the readme.txt file, which contains a brief description of each of the products, lists dependencies, and contains any last-minute instructions or changes.
See “Installing PowerDesigner PhysicalArchitect” for specific instructions on installing PowerDesigner 11.1.
Because some portion of the PC-Client components are required by the other products, install the PC-Client components first.
Use an account with Administrator privileges to log in to Windows.
Exit any Windows programs running on your machine.
Insert the PC-Client CD into the CD drive.
If PC-Client Setup does not start automatically:
Click Start and choose Run.
Browse to select your CD drive letter and choose setup.exe.
Follow the instructions on your screen to install the PC-Client tools.
To configure client network connections to Adaptive Server, see Configuring Adaptive Server Enterprise for your platform.
Adaptive Server communicates with other Adaptive Servers, Open Server applications (such as Backup Server), and client software on your network. Clients can talk to one or more servers, and servers can communicate with other servers by remote procedure calls.
For Sybase products to interact with one another, each product must know where the others reside on the network. This information is stored in the interfaces file (sql.ini on Windows), or in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
For additional information, see “Installing Sybase PC-Client Products” in the Adaptive Server Enterprise Installation Guide for your platform. This document includes detailed installation instructions for Adaptive Server client products like the Adaptive Server plug-in to Sybase Central.
