Installing Adaptive Server Enterprise

Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 15.0 Developer Edition is an optional installation.

See the Getting Started CD for the Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.0 Installation Guide to assist you in the installation process.

To install ASE Developer Edition

Prerequisites: When ASE installs, it appends the beginning of your PATH with a long string value when the installation completes. This process can truncate a portion of your original PATH if your original PATH is long.

Before beginning the ASE installation, save a copy of your entire PATH to another location.

After the ASE installation is complete, compare your current PATH to the one you saved and make any necessary adjustments.
