Express installs involves fewer configuration options, but are suitable for some production environments. During installation, the installer:
Prompts you for the name of the JINI server host. The JINI server is installed on the same machine where you install Operations Console. If you install multiple components at the same time, the installer only prompts you for the JINI server host name once. This value is inherited by the other components you are installing during that installation sequence. When you complete an installation sequence on one machine and restart the installer to install components on another, you may be prompted to specify the location of the JINI server.
Assigns default port values in the 3000 – 4000 range
to all feed handler and publisher components.Port values are validated
during installation, and if a defined port is already in use, the
installer displays two popup message boxes. The first message box
tells you that the port number is already in use and an alternative
port will be selected. The second message box then provides the
new port assignment. If your Network Administrator chooses a different
set of port values, records these items on your worksheet, and replace
the default value with these items.
Assigns 224.0.2.0 as the default class D multicast IP addresses to all publishers. This value appears in the Broadcast IP Address field and identifies the multicast channel that the publisher uses to multicast messages to subscribers. If your Network Administrator chooses another multicast address for your site, record the address on your worksheet, and replace the default with that value.
Assigns default settings for various configuration options, such as the Number of Packet Buffers.
Assigns default Channel names to Feed Handlers and
Publishers. Default channels names depend on the component. For
FAST Feed Handler, the first default channel name is FAST
Channel 1; the first default channel name for
Demo Feed Handler is Demo Feed 1;
and the first default channel name for the Publisher API is Custom
Channel 1. If you want to use different names
to identify your data channels, replace the default value with the
one you want to use.
Assigns default settings for various configuration options, such as the Number of Packet Buffers.
Installs the RAPCache database and RAPCache Subscriber on the same target machine at the same time. You cannot install these items separately. The RAPCache Database Server is set to ASE 15.0.2 defaults, and the host name is set to the install machine. The RAPCache Subscriber inherits all appropriate server connection settings, but prompts you for the appropriate data channels to monitor and publisher settings.
Installs the RAPStore database and RAPStore subscriber on the same target machine at the same time. You cannot install these items separately. The RAPStore Database Server is set to Sybase IQ 12.7 ESD #3 defaults, and the host name is set to the install machine. The RAPStore Subscriber inherits all appropriate server connection settings, but prompts you for the appropriate data channels to monitor and publisher settings.
Assigns all appropriate port values for Operations Console. If you install Operations Console at the same time you install RAPCache and RAPStore, the installer will populate the appropriate Host and port values for these items. If not, the Host field(s) will be left empty and the port will be the appropriate default for the database (5000 for RAPCache and 2638 for RAPStore).
You may want to review Appendix B, “Express Setup Options” before you start. This appendix describes
all of the configuration options you may see during installation.
Running the Sybase RAP installer
Log in as root.
Insert the Sybase RAP Product DVD into the drive.
If Sybase RAP Setup does not start automatically, mount the drive, then use this command to start the installer:
<CD_mount_directory>/rap_cd1/setup<Platform>.bin
where <Platform> is the name
of your operating system. For example, use the command /cdrom/rap_cd1/setupSolaris.bin on
Sun Solaris.
Click Next on the Welcome screen.
Choose a location, then read and accept the license agreement. Click Next.
If you do not find a license agreement that matches your location, or if the license agreement is unreadable on your system, you can read all available license agreements on the Sybase Web site.
Choose an installation directory and click Next.
You can accept the default target directory or choose another installation directory. The default installation directory is /opt/sybase/RAP.
Choose the components you want to install.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete your installation.
You must run the install for each RAPCache server you want to install. If you want to install multiple servers or deploy components on different machines, you must run the install multiple times.
If you need to find an installation item, see Appendix C, “Installation and Configuration File Locations.”
