Installation Environment

Previous Releases

If you have a previous version of New Era of Networks Adapter for SAP R/3 installed, it is suggested that you uninstall that version before installing the current release. However, if you plan to continue to use your older version of the software, it can remain on the same server. Installation of the current release does not overwrite the previous installation and does not affect any files you might have added.

CIM Repository

The CIM (common information model) 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, you do not need to install a new CIM Repository. However, the repository must be running before you can install products.

If a CIM repository does exist:

If a CIM repository does not exist or cannot be found by the installer, a window appears, prompting you to 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. Use platform specific commands to start the repository:

    1. On Windows, enter the following:

      cd <install dir>\CIMRepository-3_0_0\bin

      repository.bat

    2. On UNIX, enter the following:

      cd <install dir>/CIMRepository-3_0_0/bin

      ./repository.sh

Temporary Installation Directory

The installer uses a temporary location during the installation process. The default temporary location on Windows is defined in the system environment variables and is usually set to C:\temp. The default temporary location on UNIX is /var/tmp.

If enough space is not available in the default temporary location, the installer might not start, or it might start, but notify you that sufficient space is not available. Either case requires providing sufficient space in the temporary directory. You can do one of the following:

To install on a temporary directory other than the default directory:
  1. Use platform specific commands to specify an install directory:

    1. On Windows, enter the following:

      setup -is:tempdir <full path
      to alternate temp directory>

    2. On UNIX, enter the following:

      setup -is:tempdir <full path
      to alternate temp directory>

Do not use spaces or special characters in your UNIX path.

Disk Space and Memory Requirements

Disk space

NT: 183 MB for adapter and temporary directory used during installation

UNIX: 208 MB for adapter and 160 MB for temporary directory

Memory

256 MB for product files

Required Software

"Supported Platforms and Compilers" identifies the operating systems and compilers required for this product. Use this table to identify the software required for installation.

The following must be installed or configured on the server before installing the adapter:

Running Executables Before Installing the Adapter on Windows

You must run the following executables or .msi files from the Adapter for SAP R/3 Server CD before you install the Adapter for SAP R/3 on Windows.

After you have completed installing these four applications, you can continue with the next steps to complete the install.

If you are installing Adapter for SAP R/3 on the same machine as your database server, you may not have to install a separate database client; instead, you can connect directly to the database server.

Preparing the Installation Environment

Previous versions

If you have a previous version of Adapter for SAP R/3 installed, it is suggested that you uninstall that version before installing the current version. However, if you plan to continue to use your older version of the software, it can remain on the same server. Installation of the current version does not overwrite the previous installation and does not affect any files you may have added.

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:

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 dir>\CIMRepository-3_0_0\bin

    repository.bat

  2. To start the repository on UNIX, enter the following:

    cd <install dir>/CIMRepository-3_0_0/bin

    ./repository.sh

Temporary Installation Directory

The installer uses a temporary location during the installation process. The default temporary location on Windows is defined in the system environment variables and is usually set to C:\temp. The default temporary location on UNIX is /var/tmp.

If enough space is not available in the default temporary location, the installer may not start or may start but notify you that sufficient space is not available. You can do one of the following:

To install on a temporary directory other than the default directory:
  1. For Windows, enter the following:

    setup -is:tempdir <full path to alternate temp directory>

  2. For Unix, enter the following:

    ./setup -is:tempdir <full path to alternate temp directory>

    Do not use spaces or special characters in your UNIX path.

Installing Adapter for SAP R/3

For all installation instructions, <install dir> refers to the default installation directory.

If the installation directory does not exist, you can either create the directory or the installer will create the installation directory when installation begins. If you get a memory error while installing, see "Temporary Installation Directory".

Before you begin the installation, the repository must be running unless you plan to install a new one. If you plan to use an existing repository, you can verify whether the repository is running by doing one of the following:

On Windows, go to Task Manager > Processes. If dbsrv7.exe is listed as running, the repository is active.

On Unix, type

ps -ef | grep dbsrv7

To install Adapter for SAP R/3 using the InstallShield Wizard:

These installation instructions assume you are logged onto the server with administrative rights/user permissions. When installing on UNIX, it is best to perform the install directly on the target machine in the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) single window mode. Use the CD-ROM to install Adapter for SAP R/3.
