A new installation program called InstallShield now installs ECDA options for version 12.6. InstallShield, which is Java-based and uses XML input, unloads and installs all Sybase components including the ODBC drivers and DirectConnect Manager using a consistent installation interface across all platforms. It creates the target directory (if necessary) and unloads all of the selected components. The ECDA install/uninstall programs use InstallShield MultiPlatform 5 IDE.
For installation information refer to the ECDA Installation Guide for your platform.
InstallShield is supported for ECDA products on each of the following platforms: Windows 2000/2003, HP, Solaris, AIX, and Linux (for ECDA for Oracle only). InstallShield does not require user configuration at installation time, and the Uninstall process using InstallShield is created at runtime. When installation completes, the ECDA has the minimum configuration required to function independently.
InstallShield installs and supports the following ECDA products:
ECDA option for DB2 UDB (DirectConnect for DB2 UDB)
ECDA option for Informix (DirectConnect for Informix)
ECDA option for Microsoft SQL Server (DirectConnect for Microsoft SQL Server)
ECDA option for ODBC (DirectConnect Anywhere)
ECDA option for Oracle (DirectConnect for Oracle)
Starting with version 12.6, ECDA option for AS/400,
previously called DirectConnect for AS/400, is not supported.
