CHAPTER 2 Installing Adapter for SAP R/3
CIMRepository
The Common Information Model (CIM) Repository shares installation information across Sybase and New Era of Networks products, tracking version and path information for each product installation. If the repository is already installed, it is not necessary to install a new CIM Repository. However, the repository must be running before you can install products. After the installation has been completed, you can stop the CIM Repository to save resources.
If a CIM Repository does exist:
•on the local machine and is running, the installer uses that repository by default. The Repository Information window does not appear.
•on the local machine and is not running, the installer tries to start the existing repository. If it cannot start the repository, a warning message appears stating that a repository was found but could not be started. The Repository Information window appears and you can provide the repository information and start the repository.
•on a remote machine, the Repository Information window appears even if the repository on the remote machine is running. To use an existing repository, start it manually and provide the information required by the installer for the existing repository as detailed in “To start a repository” on page 25.
If a CIM Repository does not exist or cannot be found by the installer, a window displays with the prompt to either install a new CIM Repository or use an existing repository.
❖To start a repository
If the repository is already installed, you must provide the server, port number, and user information for the existing repository. The system populates the screen with default values for the server, port number, and user information but you can modify the values if necessary.
1 To start the repository on Windows, enter the following:
cd <install
repository.bat
2 To start the repository on UNIX, enter the following:
cd <install
./repository.sh
