Starting InstallShield  Upgrading to OpenSwitch 15.0

Chapter 2: Installing OpenSwitch

Performing the installation

  1. When the installer launches, click Next on the Welcome window.

  2. Complete the options in the end-user license agreement window:

    1. From the drop-down list, select the geographical location where the software is being installed. The license agreement for that region displays.

    2. Read the license agreement, and select “I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified.”

    3. Click Next.

  3. In the Destination window:

    1. Enter or select the directory where you want to install the product.

      WARNING! On Windows systems, you cannot install into a directory that contains spaces in the name; for example, “Program Files.”

      You can:

      • Accept the default installation directory; or

      • Enter the name of the root directory where you want to install OpenSwitch; or

      • Click the ellipsis button (with three dots) to select the installation location.

    2. Click Next.

    3. If you enter a directory that does not exist, click Yes at the prompt that asks if you want to create the directory.

  4. Select the type of installation to perform.

    NoteIf you are installing in a high-availability environment, see “Compatibility with other Sybase products” before selecting the installation type.

  5. Click Next. If you selected the Typical installation, go to step 7.

    If you selected the Custom installation, the next window lists the product features you can install. Select or unselect the features to install by clicking the box to the left of the component:

  6. Click Next.

  7. The summary window displays:

    Click Next to continue with the installation, or click Back to change the feature selection.

  8. A progress bar shows the progress of the installation. When the installation completes, a message shows whether the installation was successful.

    NoteIf you are installing into an existing Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.0 installation directory, you may be asked if you want to overwrite certain Open Client/Server files.

    If an existing file is newer or has the same date, select No. If an existing file is older, select Yes.

    If the installation was successful, click Next.

    If the installation was unsuccessful, use a text editor to open the installation log file (oswInstall.log) and troubleshoot what may have gone wrong. The log file is located in the root installation directory at %SYBASE%\oswInstall.log

  9. When the installation is successful and you click Next, the configuration tool window opens.

  10. Perform any post-installation steps. See Chapter 4, “Post-Installation Tasks,” for instructions.

StepsVerifying the installation

You can verify whether the installation and configuration processes were successful.

This procedure does not verify whether OpenSwitch is running with your Adaptive Server. See “Verifying client connections” for instructions.

NoteYou cannot start OpenSwitch until it has been both installed and configured.

  1. In Task Manager | Processes, check to see that OSwitch.exe is running.

You are now ready to start OpenSwitch. See “Starting OpenSwitch”.
