Installation tasks

This section discusses installing Unwired Accelerator in a network environment. Installation takes five to ten minutes, depending on the speed of your machine.

Installing Unwired Accelerator

1. Insert the Installation CD. If AutoStart is enabled, the InstallShield wizard starts and the Welcome window displays. This may take a few moments. If AutoStart is disabled, launch the Installer from the CD by double-clicking ua70setup.exe.

2. Click Next. The End-User License window displays.

3. Select the license agreement appropriate for the country or region where you are installing the software, from the drop-down list. The license displays.

   Reade the license agreement and select “I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the installation location selected.” Click Next.

4. In the Installation Directory window, accept the default installation directory, for example, C:\Sybase\UnwiredAccelerator, or enter the installation directory where you want to install Unwired Accelerator.

   The installation directory is referred to as %SYBASE% in this guide.

   Do not select an installation directory that uses double-byte characters or spaces anywhere in the path name.

   Click Next.

5. The Installer checks for available disk space. If there is not enough disk space, the Installer reports the problem and closes. You must free up disk space and start again.

6. In the next window, enter:

   If you are performing an upgrade from UA 6.5, you must use the same domain name, host name, database port, HTTP port, and HTTPS port as you configured for your 6.5 installation.

   • Domain Name – by default, the Installer inserts the domain listed in the Windows registry. Accept the default or enter the domain (and subdomain if used).

     The UA configuration file uses sybase.com as the default domain name.

   • Host Name – by default, the Installer inserts the machine name listed in the Windows registry. Accept the default, or enter the name of the machine on which you are installing Unwired Accelerator; for example, lab2k. The UA configuration files use demo as the default host.

   • Database Port – by default, the Installer inserts 4747 for the ASA database (see Table 2-2). Accept the default or provide a new value.

   • M-Business Anywhere Database Host – by default the Installer inserts the machine name, such as lab2K. Accept the default or provide a new value.

     The Installer does not install the M-Business server, you must enter these parameters to configure UA to work with M-Business.

   • M-Business Anywhere Database Port – by default the Installer inserts 8099 for the AGDB database port (see Table 2-2). Accept the default or provide a new value.

   • Application Server – select either:

     • Install Apache Tomcat, or

     • Existing Sybase EAServer

   Click Next.

7. If you selected Sybase EAServer, see Appendix A, “Installing Unwired Accelerator in EAServer 5.2” for instructions.

   If you selected Apache Tomcat as the application server, the Tomcat Parameters window displays. Enter the values for these parameters or accept the defaults.

   • HTTP Port – by default, the Installer inserts 4040 for the Unwired Accelerator HTTP port (see Table 2-2). Accept the default or provide a new value. Note that UA configuration files use 4040 as the default Unwired Accelerator HTTP port.

     If you are using Netscape 7.0.x for Web browser access, and using HTTPS to protect passwords during login, you must use port 80 for the Unwired Accelerator HTTP port.

   • HTTPS Port – by default, the Installer inserts 4443 for the Unwired Accelerator HTTP port (see Table 2-2). Accept the default or provide a new value.

     Before accepting the default, keep in mind:

     • If you are using Netscape 7.0.x for Web browser access, and using HTTPS to protect passwords during login, you must use port 443 for the Unwired Accelerator HTTPS port.

     • If you have M-Business Anywhere server installed on the same machine you are installing Tomcat on, there is a conflict with port 4443, so you must use a different port for HTTPS.

8. Click Next. The Installation Progress window displays. During installation, these files are updated with the configuration information you supplied:

   • global.properties.xml – changes the default host name and domain name to the machine name and domain name detected in the Windows registry, or to those that you provided. The global.properties.xml file is located in %SYBASE%\UnwiredAccelerator70\tomcat\webapps\onepage \config.

   • domain.js – changes the default domain name to the name you provided. The domain.js file is located in %SYBASE%\UnwiredAccelerator70\tomcat\webapps \onepage\javascript.

   • server.xml – changes the default port number to the number you provided. The server.xml file is located in %SYBASE%\Unwired Accelerator70\tomcat\conf\.

   The Installation Summary window displays and reports success or failure of the installation.

9. Click Finish.

10. Select Start | Programs | Sybase | UnwiredAccelerator | Start UA. This starts the Adaptive Server Anywhere database, the Tomcat application server, and Internet Explorer.

    When the database starts, you see the icon for the Sybase ASA database in your taskbar.

    When Tomcat starts, you see:

    Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
    Apache Tomcat/4.1.29
    

    After these lines, you see a series of messages. If you do not see these lines, check the datamanager.log, located in x:\tmp\logs, for information.

11. Minimize the Tomcat window (do not close the window), and close the Start Unwired Accelerator window.

12. The Unwired Accelerator installation is complete. See “Verifying the installation” to verify the network installation works correctly
