Setting environment variables

InstallShield automatically sets system environment variables that are needed by InstallShield. InstallShield installs three files that contain these environment variables:

$SYBASE/SYBASE.sh
$SYBASE/SYBASE.csh
$SYBASE/SYBASE.env

After you exit InstallShield, you may need to reset environment variables, for example, if someone other than the sybase administrator must use the software.

To set these environment variables, you can either:

Use the source command to source SYBASE.sh or SYBASE.csh and update the component’s RUN environment immediately for your current session, before invoking any component, or
Modify the component’s RUN environment permanently using the environment variable values from the shell files.

Table 2-4 describes the environment variables.
