This chapter describes the different installation modes you can use to install DI Suite components. It also lists the post-installation tasks you must perform to validate the installation.
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 “Reviewing system requirements”.
For Solaris, make sure your home directory ($HOME) has at least 1MB of free disk space and write permissions.
Review the compatibility of DI Suite components against other Sybase products across different versions. See “Interoperability matrix”.
Review the SySAM license requirements. See “Obtaining licenses for DI Suite components”.
Create a “sybase” account on your system to perform all installation tasks.
On Windows, the “sybase” user must have administrative privileges on the machine where the DI Suite will be installed.
On UNIX, the “sybase” user must have write permissions on the directory where the DI Suite will be installed.
Log in to the machine as the “sybase” user.
If you specify a different 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 setup tasks.
