Release Bulletin Sybase® Enterprise Portal Enterprise Edition Version 5.0 for Sun Solaris

Using an existing SySAM installation

This section describes the steps for using an existing SySAM license for both Enterprise Portal versions 2.5 or later, and for products other than Enterprise Portal versions 2.5 or later.

StepsUsing an existing SySAM installation for Enterprise Portal versions 2.5 or later

Follow these steps if the SySAM installation is managing licenses for Enterprise Portal versions 2.5 or later:

  1. Follow the Enterprise Portal Installation Guide to install Adaptive Server into your target directory. Adaptive Server looks for the SYSAM-1_0 directory in the same installation location as itself. If it is not there, you must set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable with the correct location of the SySAM license.dat file.

    Add the following lines to $SYBASE/ASE-12_5/install/RUN_servername, where servername is the name of your Adaptive Server:

    LM_LICENSE_FILE=$SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/licenses/license.dat
    export LM_LICENSE_FILE
    

    For $SYBASE, you must provide the full path to your existing SYSAM-1_0 directory.

  2. Restart Adaptive Server.

StepsUsing SySAM that is managing licenses for Sybase products other than Enterprise Portal versions 2.5 or later

  1. Shut down the existing SySAM deamon:

    1. Delete /usr/tmp/lockSYBASE if it exists on your system.

    2. Enter the following, where filepath is the full path to license.dat:

      $SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/bin/lmutil lmdown -c filepath
      
  2. Follow the Enterprise Portal Installation Guide to install Adaptive Server. When you get to the SySAM panel, select “Use the locally installed SySAM.”

  3. Follow the Enterprise Portal Installation Guide to enter your license certificate information.

  4. Follow the Enterprise Portal Installation Guide to complete your Adaptive Server installation.

  5. Shut down the newly installed SySAM deamon that started as part of the Adaptive Server installation:

    1. Delete /usr/tmp/lockSYBASE if it exists on your system.

    2. Shut down the newly installed SySAM by entering the following, where filepath is the full path to license.dat:

      $SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/bin/lmutil lmdown -c filepath
      
  6. Append the contents of the newly created license.dat file, located in your target /SYSAM-1_0/licenses/license.dat install directory, to the existing license.dat file.

  7. Run the SySAM uninstaller to remove the newly installed SySAM. See Chapter 6, “Uninstalling Enterprise Portal 5.0” of the Enterprise Portal Installation Guide, for instructions on uninstalling SySAM.

  8. Adaptive Server looks for the SYSAM-1_0 directory in the same installation location as itself. If it is not there, you must set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable with the correct location of the SySAM license.dat file.

    Add the following lines to $SYBASE/ASE-12_5/install/RUN_servername, where servername is the name of your Adaptive Server:

    LM_LICENSE_FILE=$SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/licenses/license.dat
    export LM_LICENSE_FILE
    

    For $SYBASE, you must provide the full path to your existing SYSAM-1_0 directory.

  9. Restart Adaptive Server.
