Installing ASE 12.5.2 or ASE 15 on Linux (and other Unix platforms)
Applicable to both Express and Licensed editions
From the CD or Directory containing ASE run the following command:
setup -is:javahome JVM
(This will help avoid the installation error "JVM not found")
----
Setting Server name for ASE clients
Set environment variable DSQUERY to your servername (as given in the interfaces file) by placing the following line in your .profile or
.bash_profile
export DSQUERY = <Your Server Name>
Example: export DSQUERY=PAYROLL
Once you set this then you need not specify it everytime you run isql or any other client utility.
----
Automatically starting ASE on Server boot on Linux (and other Unix flavours)
Create the following script in the /etc/init.d directory and name it as sybase (or any other desirable name). Create a symbolic link for it in /etc/rc3.d.
#!/bin/sh
#
# sybase: Starts the available Servers
#
# chkconfig: 345 85 15
#
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
#
# SYBASE should point to the system administrated server area
# CHANGE "SYBASE" to point to your install area
export SYBASE=/opt/sybase
if [ -n "${SYBASE}" -a -d "${SYBASE}" ]; then
SYBASE_ASE=ASE-15_0
SYBASE_OCS=OCS-15_0
PATH="${SYBASE}/${SYBASE_ASE}/bin:${SYBASE}/${SYBASE_OCS}:${SYBASE}/${SYBASE_ASE}/install:${PATH}"
export SYBASE SYBASE_ASE SYBASE_OCS PATH
# See how we were called.
