Sybase 15 manual Understand the installation directory structure

Pre-installation tasks

Configure the operating system for asynchronous I/O

HP-UX only – To optimize asynchronous I/O and to prevent the paging of shared memory, you must grant MLOCK permissions before you install Replication Server.

To grant MLOCK permissions to a group, enter:

/etc/privgrp add mlock <group name>

or:

/etc/setprivgrp <group name> MLOCK

Understand the installation directory structure

Most components of Replication Server are installed in their own subdirectories, with the executable program, installation and configuration tools, and display-related files needed by the component. The naming convention for subdirectories includes a component identifier, such as REP (for Replication Server) or OCS (for Open Client™ and Open Server™), and the software release version, such as 15_0.

Replication Server 15.0 includes a new version of Replication Server and many of its supporting components. Other Sybase products may contain earlier versions of the same components. Installing Replication Server 15.0 into the same directory containing these existing products, will not impact the products.

However, if you are using other Sybase products, installing Replication Server

15.0in a separate directory may cause some environment variables to change. You will have to reset the environment variables in order to make the individual products work.

Note Replication Server 15.0 may be installed in the same directory as

Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) and OCS versions 12.5.1 or later.
