CHAPTER 2 Installing Adaptive Server
Installation Guide 27
Installing server components
Follow the instructions in this section to install Adaptive Server, Backup
Server, and Monitor Server.
Note Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.0.2 includes new major versions of
Adaptive Server and many of the supporting components. Installing Adaptive
Server version 15.0.2 into the same directory with existing products should not
impact the existing products. However, installing other products on top of
Adaptive Server version 15.0.2 will likely result in one or more products not
working correctly.
Sybase strongly recommends that Adaptive Server version 15.0.2 be installed
into its own directory if possible. Where this is not practical and other products
must be installed into the same directory, Adaptive Server version 15.0.2
should be installed last.
Installation methods
The following instructions are for using the Installer in GUI mode. You can
also perform the installation in a non-GUI (text-based) mode or a completely
silent installation with no interaction. Or, you can perform the installation, then
configure Adaptive Server separately using either the GUI-based configuration
tools or silently with the use of a resource file. For information on alternate
methods of installation see Appendix A, “Alternative Installation Methods.”
Users not already familiar with Adaptive Server should install using the
GUI-based Installer. Select a typical install, and accept the default
configuration.
Installing components with the Installer in GUI mode
Note Sybase recommends installing products as a sybase user. Root
permissions are not required to run the installer.
The Installer creates the target directory (if necessary) and installs the selected
components into that directory.
