This section provides an overview of various installation scenarios, and provides the prerequisties for installing DI Suite components.
To install individual DI Suite components or the Standard Edition for the first time:
In GUI mode, see “Installing in GUI mode”.
In console mode, see “Installing in console mode”.
Using response file, see “Installing using a response file”.
To install additional DI Suite components and subcomponents after an initial installation of DI Suite, see “Installing additional components”.
To install accessory subcomponents in a distributed installation environment, see “Installing accessory subcomponents”.
Before you install DI Suite components:
Close any open applications or utilities.
If you are using the installation media for DI Suite installation, make sure your installation machine has a DVD drive.
Make sure that the target computer meets the hardware requirements and operating system requirements for installing DI Suite components. See “System requirements”.
Review the compatibility of DI Suite components against other Sybase products across different versions. See “DI Suite component coexistence matrix”.
Review the SySAM license requirements. See “Licenses for DI Suite components”.
Create a “sybase” account on your system to perform all installation tasks.
The “sybase” user must have write permissions on the directory where the DI Suite will be installed. The “sybase” user must also have a home directory.
Make sure the following directories have at least 1GB of free disk space:
/var/tmp directory on Sun Solaris
/tmp directory on IBM AIX
Also, verify that your home directory ($HOME) has write permissions.
Log in to the machine as the “sybase” user.
If you specify a user name that contains non-ASCII characters,
DI Suite installation can fail.
Maintain consistent ownership and privileges for all files and directories. A single user—the Sybase System Administrator with read, write, and execute permissions—should perform all installation, upgrade, and set up tasks.
If you are installing the RepConnector subcomponent of Sybase Real-Time Events on a BEA WebLogic application server, make sure that you have installed and started the BEA WebLogic application server prior to the installation of RepConnector. Also, make sure you have write permission to the BEA WebLogic installation directory.
For more information, see the BEA documentation for WebLogic.
If you are installing the ASE Active Messaging subcomponent of Sybase Real-Time Events, make sure you have installed:
32-bit or 64-bit versions of ASE 12.5.4 ESD#3 or later, or ASE 15.0.1 ESD#1 or later on Sun Solaris.
64-bit version of ASE 12.5.4 ESD#3 or later, or ASE 15.0.1 ESD#1 or later on IBM AIX.
If you are installing ETL Server, make sure your PATH environment variable includes these files:
sed
awk
tar
gzip
wc
mkdir
touch
df
tr
uudecode
