The installation and post-installation instructions
frequently refer to the $SYBASE, $JAGUAR, and $JAVA_HOME
variables.
$SYBASE refers to the EP installation directory; for example, /opt/sybase.
$JAGUAR refers to the EAServer installation directory (if you are running Enterprise Portal – Information Edition in EAServer 5.0). This document assumes EAServer is installed in the same root directory as Adaptive Server Anywhere and Tomcat, so $JAGUAR is equivalent to $SYBASE/EAServer.
$JAVA_HOME refers to a valid JVM directory.
Each Sybase installation that has purchased a support contract has one or more designated people who are authorized to contact Sybase Technical Support. If you cannot resolve a problem using the manuals or online help, please have the designated person contact Sybase Technical Support or the Sybase subsidiary in your area.
