Product installation

This section describes installation of SQL Remote for Adaptive Server Enterprise. If you obtained SQL Remote as part of another product, consult the installation instructions for the product you purchased.

❖To install the SQL Remote software ( Windows )

1.Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

2.If the installation program does not start automatically, start the setup application on the CD-ROM.

3.Follow the instructions in the installation program.

❖To install the SQL Remote software ( UNIX )

1.Consult the instructions for your operating system in the Adaptive Server Anywhere Read Me First booklet.

If you are using SQL Remote for Adaptive Server Enterprise, you must install SQL Remote into any database you wish to replicate.

☞For information about installing SQL Remote into a database, see “Setting Up SQL Remote” on page 19 .
