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:

Running Executables Before Installing the Adapter

You must run the following executables or .msi files from the New Era of Networks Adapter for PeopleSoft Server CD before you install the New Era of Networks Adapter for PeopleSoft.

If you are installing New Era of Networks Adapter for PeopleSoft 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 Releases

If you have a previous version of Adapter for PeopleSoft 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.

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 use a temporary directory other than the default directory:
  1. Use the following command to specify an install directory

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

Install Adapter for PeopleSoft Server

For all installation instructions, <install dir> refers to the default installation directory. If installing on Windows, the default is C:\Sybase.

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 CIM repository must be running. You can verify whether the repository is running by doing one of the following:

On Windows, go to Windows Task Manager>Processes. If dbserv7.exe is listed as running, the repository is active.

On UNIX, type

ps -ef | grep dbsrv7
