Installing in GUI mode

This section describes the steps for installing DI Suite components for the first time using the GUI mode.

  1. Run the installer.

    If you are installing from the SPDC, run the setup program from the directory where you have extracted all the files. See “Installing DI Suite components from the SPDC”.

    If you are installing using the DI Suite installation media:

    1. Insert the DI Suite installation media.

      The setup program should start automatically. If it does not start automatically, start the program manually by selecting Run from the Windows Start menu. Browse to setup.exe.

    2. The Welcome window displays. Click Next to proceed.

  2. Select the geographic location where you are installing to display the agreement appropriate to your region. Read the End-user License and Copyright Agreement. Select “I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified” and click Next.

  3. Provide the license information.

    1. On the Sybase Software Asset Management License Server window, provide the licenses for the components you want to install.

      Use one of these options to enter the licenses:

      • Specify License Keys – click Browse to select the license file. To select multiple license files, use Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click. The license pane displays the license information.

        Alternatively, copy and paste the license information directly in the license pane. Click Next to proceed.

        The installer determines if the license you have entered is a served or an unserved license.

        For a served license:

        • If the served license requires a license server for the machine on which you are installing the DI components, the installer prompts you to either deploy the license to an existing license server, if one exists, or install a new license server if you have not installed one yet. Click Back and select “Use previously deployed license server” on the installer if you have deployed the license to an existing license server. Click Next to install a new license server.

          Provide the directory in which you want to install the license server. Click Next. The installer displays an installation summary window and proceeds to install the license server.

        • If the served license is activated for a machine other than where you are installing the DI Suite components, you must set up a license server on that machine, deploy the license, and then select “Use previously deployed license server” on the installer.

          For information on how to set up a standalone license server, see Appendix A, “Setting up a SySAM Standalone License Server.”

          If you are installing the license server on a platform that is not supported by DI Suite 1.2, go to the SySAM Web site to download the license server setup program.

      • Use Previously Deployed License Server – if you have a previously deployed license server, enter the host name of the machine where the license server is running, and the port number if the port number you are using is not default. Click Next.

      • Proceed Installation Without Providing License Key – if you do not have licenses for any of the DI Suite components, you can select this option, and click Next to proceed. The installer allows you to install and use the DI Suite components without a license for a grace period of 30 days. To continue using these components after the end of the grace period, obtain valid licenses from the SPDC, and install these licenses using the DI Suite License Installer. See “Installing licenses for components under grace period”.

      For more information on SySAM licensing, see the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.

    2. The installer displays a list of licensed and unlicensed components. You can select to install the components without licenses, however these components will stop working at the end of 30 days unless, you obtain and install the appropriate licenses for each.

      Review and verify the list. Click Next.

  4. Select to install either the Individual Data Integration Suite Components or the Standard Edition.

    NoteSince you can install Standard Edition only on a single machine with a maximum of 2 CPUs, if the installer detects more than 2 CPUs on the installation machine, it does not display this screen. The “Individual Data Integration Suite Components” option is selected by default and you are automatically taken to the next screen.

    Click Next.

  5. Specify the installation directory.

    1. Click Browse to select a directory, click Next to accept the default directory, or enter a different directory name where you want to install the DI Suite components.

      NoteMake sure that the installation directory name does not have non-ASCII characters or spaces.

    2. If the installation directory you specified already exists, and contains an earlier installation, you see:

      You have chosen to install into an existing
      directory. Any older versions of the products you
      choose to install that are detected in this directory will be replaced.
      
      
      Do you want to continue with installation into this directory?
      

      Click Yes to replace any previous installation in this directory.

      NoteFor some of the components, the new version does not overwrite the previously installed version. It gets installed in a separate directory.

      If the installation directory you specify does not exist, you see:

      The directory does not exist. Do you want to create it?
      

      Click Yes. By default, the installer installs the components in the %SYBASE% directory, if it exists. If you proceed to install in a new directory, the existing Sybase products may not work properly. Click No to go back and change the directory. Click Yes to proceed.

      NoteIf the installer detects an incompatible version of a Sybase product in this directory, it displays a warning. For compatibility information of DI Suite components against other Sybase products, see “DI Suite component coexistence matrix”.

  6. Select the components to install.

    To select all the displayed components for installation, click Select All Components. Click Next.

    NoteThe installer window displays (Licensed) against the licensed components, and (No License) against the components without licenses.

  7. Select the installation type:

    1. Select Full to install all the subcomponents for the selected component on a single machine. For example, if you have selected the Sybase Replication component, the Full option installs all subcomponents available under this component. Click Next.

    2. Select Custom to choose specific subcomponents to install for the selected component. You can install these subcomponents on a single machine or multiple machines. For example, if you have selected the Sybase Replication component, the Custom option allows you to install any or all of the subcomponents available under this component on a single machine or multiple machines.

      In the case of Standard Edition, you must install all DI Suite components on a single machine, except the Replication Agent and ASE Active Messaging subcomponents. You can install Replication Agent and ASE Active Messaging subcomponents on separate machines.

      Click Next. The installer displays all the subcomponents that are available for each selected component. Review the list to verify the subcomponents. Unselect the subcomponents you do not want to install and click Next.

    Whether you selected Full or Custom, the installer displays the components without licenses and provides a warning that these components will be installed but will stop working at the end of 30 days if appropriate licenses are not obtained and installed by then. Click Next.

  8. For certain components, you must provide some additional information, before you can proceed with the installation:

    For RepConnector

    1. Select the application server where you want to install RepConnector:

      • RepConnector for Sybase EAServer
