Performing Administrative Tasks
Complete the administrative tasks before you begin the installation process.
1.
Back up your current system.
2.
Create the “sybase” user account and make sure it has read, write, and execute
permissions.
3.
Verify that the directory location for the Sybase installation has sufficient space.
4.
Verify that your network software is configured.
Sybase software uses network software, even if Adaptive Server and Sybase client
applications are installed on a machine that is not connected to a network.
Creating the Sybase User Account
Create a Sybase user account to ensure that Sybase product files and directories are created
with consistent ownership and privileges.
One user—typically the Sybase system administrator, who has read, write, and execute
privileges—should perform all installation, configuration, and upgrade tasks.
1.
To create a Sybase system administrator account, choose an existing account, or create a
new account and assign a user ID, group ID, and password for it.
This account is sometimes called the “sybase” user account. See your operating system
documentation for instructions on creating a new user account.
If you have installed other Sybase software, the “sybase” user should already exist.
2.
Verify that you can log in to the machine using this account.
