If the ECDA Option for Oracle (also referred to as DCO)
was already installed and a directory was created perform the following:
Set the environment variables by sourcing the $SYBASE/SYBASE.csh file and the $SYBASE/DCO_SYBASE.csh file.
Execute the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_DCO/install/DCConfig to configure a new DCO and proceed to step 11.
Download the ECDA product either from the Sybase download site or from the CD that is provided.
From the download site, navigate to the directory where the ECDA software has been downloaded, uncompressed, and extracted. Download the ECDA 12.6 (CD68121-55-1260-01.tgz).
Use the GNU utilities to unzip and untar the software download to a new directory. When untarred, the directory should contain the following files; media.inf, suite, archives, setupSolaris.
From the CD, insert the ECDA 12.6 Options for Sun Solaris CD.
To install ECDA for Oracle in GUI mode
Launch InstallShield by executing the Sun Solaris setup routine:
./setupSolaris
If you see an error message saying that there is not enough temporary disk space, add the following to your setup command:
./setupSolaris –is:tempdir someDirectory
where someDirectory is a directory with at least 100MB of disk space that the installation program can use.
On the Welcome window, click Next.
Select a geographic location that displays the license agreement. Select I agree and click Next.
Enter the directory where you want to install ECDA:
In the destination directory, enter the directory where the MRO software is installed. Click Yes to install into an existing directory.
If the destination directory exists, you receive a warning message that you are installing into an existing directory. Click Yes
Select the Custom setup and click Next.
Select the ECDA Option for Oracle. Deselect any extra language modules. For English, deselect all the language modules, leaving only the “Language Modules” line selected. Click Next.
Verify the modules to install. At a minimum, ECDA Option for Oracle, Connectivity, and Language Modules should be listed. Click Next.
The software begins to load into the destination directory. After it has successfully finished building the directory, click Next.
By default, ECDA for Oracle (DCO) can be configured during installation. If you want to configure a new DCO now, click Next.
Enter the following options in the configuration window:
DCO name – the name of the DCO server. For example, DCOServer.
Port number – an unused port number that the server will use.
DCO Admin Account name – the name of a valid Oracle account that will be used to administer DCO, usually the SYSTEM account.
Oracle Password for DCO Admin Acct – the password for the account named previously to administer the DirectConnect for Oracle server. The password is not written into a configuration file, but it appears in the log.txt file if the installer was invoked with the -is:debug argument.
Confirm Oracle Password for the DCO Admin Acct – a confirmation of the password for the account named previously to administer the DirectConnect for Oracle server.
ORACLE Connect String – the name of the entry for the Oracle instance in the tnsnames.ora file.
Enter location and file name of the existing tnsnames.ora file, usually located in the network/admin directory under the ORACLE_HOME directory. The tnsnames.ora identified must be locally accessible. If the file is not available locally, then it must be copied onto a local drive before configuring DirectConnect for Oracle. DirectConnect for Oracle copies the existing tnsnames.ora file into its directory (enter the full path and file name.)
Click Next.
After receiving a message that indicates that the installation was successful, click Next.
At this time, the DCO Server should be up and running. Click Next.
After receiving an ECDA successful installation message, click Finish.
In the rest of this document, the DCO Server that you have set up will be called “DCOServer.”
