• Prepare the Operating System

• Operating System Settings, Using Raw Devices

• Determine your license policy

• Installation of the softwareSetup your environment, Create the ASE server, Create a Resource File,

Customize the File

• Build and Test the Server

• SAP ASE Default Directory Structure

• Move and modify configuration files

• Restart the Server


• A full installation needs approx. 1.5 GB of Disk space.

• Recommended 4 GB to handle upgrades.

• Optionally, add a group "sybase" and a user "sybase" to the

system.

• For Custom installation, create the needed directories.


• Shared Memory

• Add following line to /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.shmmax=4294967296

• Now Issue the Command

# sysctl -p

• Install Required 32 bit libraries• This will prevent problems when running isql or bcp.

yum -y install libX11.i686 libXtst.i686 gtk2.i686 glibc.i686

libgcc.i686 webkitgtk.i686


For Complete Custom Installation, Create Raw Partitions and Raw Devices. Make appropriate

entries into /etc/rc.local to make them available after reboot. Skip this for default installation.

• Create Raw devices from the Partitions Added

# raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdb1



• Change permissions on the raw devices...

# chmod 600 /dev/raw/raw1



• Change ownership on the raw devices to sybase...

# chown sybase:sybase /dev/raw/raw1




• We shall be using (Skip This for Default Installation)

/dev/raw/raw1 master (100 Mb)

/dev/raw/raw2 sybsystemprocs (200M)

/dev/raw/raw3 sybsystemdb (10M)


• ASE 15.0 onward you cannot run a production server without a

license file.

• License files can reside on the network or on the local system.

• Think about the license policy that suits you best.

• Most sites choose for license files on each Unix server.

• When there is no valid license, ASE will run with a grace time of

30 days.

• After that it will shutdown and it cannot be rebooted anymore until

you install a license, or change the license settings revert to the

Express Edition.


• Make a work directory and put the downloaded ASE software in it.

# mkdir install

# cd install

<put the software in this directory> and extract the files.

# tar -xf ase160_linuxx86-64.tgz

• Start the installation# ./setup.bin


• Use /opt/sap as the destination directory, do a full installation. At

the list of possible servers to configure, deselect all options. (For

Default Installation, Keep them Selected)

• When the installation has finished successful you can safely

remove the work directory and the installation package.


• In /opt/sap you will find SYBASE.sh. Run this file:

. /opt/sap/SYBASE.sh

• Check the value of $SYBASE:echo $SYBASE


• We shall create the servers called ASE1 and a backupserver called SYB_BACKUP.

• Configuration files and the errorlog are stored in the admin directory, database files are

stored in /var/sap.

• Create the directories for these servers:

cd ~

mkdir -p admin/ASE1

mkdir -p admin/SYB_BACKUP

mkdir /var/sap/ASE1

• Create Symbolic Links in the Data Directory (/var/sap/ASE1) for Devices Created Earlier

ln -s /dev/raw/raw1 /var/sap/ASE1/master.dat

ln -s /dev/raw/raw2 /var/sap/ASE1/sybsystemprocs.dat

ln -s /dev/raw/raw3 /var/sap/ASE1/sybsystemdb.dat


• Change to the "/opt/sap/admin/ASE1" directory and create a resource file.

• Copy the Sybase supplied resource file,

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/init/sample_resource_files/srvbuild.adaptive_server.rs to ASE1.rs

# cd /opt/sap/admin/ASE1

# cp $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/init/sample_resource_files/

srvbuild.adaptive_server.rs ASE1.rs

# vi ASE1.rs

• After a successful creation you can connect to the server using

the command line tool isql.

• The login “sa" has been created, with the password that was

specified in ASE.rs file.

• At the prompt of isql you can type a command or execute a stored

procedure. Type exit to exit.

isql -Usa -Psybase -SASE1

sp_helpdb

go

exit

• Move the configuration files to the admin directory. First shutdown

ASE# isql -Usa -Psybase -SASE1

1>shutdown

2>go

3>quit

# cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE

# mv ASE1.cfg /opt/sap/admin/ASE1

# rm ASE1.*

# cd install


• Make the -s flag the first option. This has the advantage that a listing of running processes

on the system will show the name of the Sybase server.

• Change the location of the configuration files, as specified with the -c flag, to the admin

directory. Each line must end with a backslash. Example RUN_ASE1 file:

#!/bin/sh

/opt/sap/ASE-16_0/bin/dataserver \

-sASE1 \

-d/var/sap/ASE1/master.dat \

-e/opt/sap/admin/ASE1/errorlog \

-c/opt/sap/admin/ASE1/ASE1.cfg \

-M/opt/sap/ASE-16_0 \


• To Start the Server# startserver -f ./RUN_ASE1

• Load instmsg.ebf fileThe instmsgs.ebf file contains the latest update for Sybase error messages.You can load it with isql.isql -Usa -Psybase -SASE1 < $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/scripts/instmsgs.ebf

• To Stop the Server# stopserver -f /RUN_ASE1

• Check the Status of the Server# showserver
