Running a Demo Installation

Run a Demo Installation from the RAP Product DVD.

1. Insert the RAP Product DVD into the drive.

   <CD_mount_directory>/rap_cd1/setup<Platform>.bin -V InstallType=demo

   where <Platform> is the name of your operating system. For example, use the command /cdrom/rap_cd1/setupSolaris.bin -V InstallType=demo on Sun Solaris.
   Note:

   If you are installing on IBM AIX, omit .bin from the command. For example: /cdrom/rap_cd1/setupaix -V InstallType=demo.

   This command starts the InstallShield Wizard.

2. Click Next on the Welcome screen.
3. Choose a location, then read and accept the license agreement. Click Next.

   If you do not find a license agreement that matches your location, or if the license agreement is unreadable on your system, you can read all available license agreements on the Sybase website at http://www.sybase.com/softwarelicenses.

4. Choose an installation directory. You can accept the default target directory or choose another installation directory. The default installation directory is /opt/sybase/RAP.
5. Select the Enable multi-byte character support option if you want RAP to support languages that use multi-byte characters. If you do not select this option, the installation will continue with single-byte character support by default. If you plan on using multi-byte characters in the future, you may want to install multi-byte character support initially. Your end users will not have the choice to switch between multi-byte and single-byte data schemas post-installation.
   Note:

   Single-byte installation includes installation of the current single-byte schema, while multi-byte installation includes installation of a multi-byte schema. Text that is made up of multi-byte characters requires more bytes to store and transmit than text containing only single-byte characters, hence the need for a specialized database schema for multi-byte installations.

6. Click Next to initiate the installation. There are no other options to select, and once the installation begins, it cannot be cancelled.
7. When the installation is complete, click Finish.
   Note:

   
   

   • The installer assigns default port values to all components. If the default port assignments are currently in use, run the installer with this command to generate a pool of secondary port assignments:

     setup<platform>.bin –V START_PORT=<startvalue> -V END_PORT = <endvalue>

     where <Platform> is the name of your operating system. For example, use the command /cdrom/rap_cd1/setupSolaris.bin -V InstallType=demo START_PORT=3800 -V END_PORT=4000 to perform a Demo install on Sun Solaris with a range of port assignments in the 3800 – 4000 range.

After you run the Demo install, refer to the appropriate Postinstallation tasks.
