3.2.4 Guidelines for Running the Installation Script

The following information provides guidelines for running the installation

script: sybase_envox_install.

J When sybase_envox_install is run, a menu driven interface is

displayed on the screen. It is a character based menu.

J Navigation through the menu items is accomplished by using the up

and down arrow keys or by pressing Return on any of the menu item

fields.

J Navigation through the menu item data fields is accomplished by

using the left and right arrow keys.

J The menu item data fields are set for insert mode.

J If a menu item is incorrect, its data field is shown in reverse video.

J Most of the menu data is defaulted for you when the menu is

displayed. The defaulted data can be modified.

J Moving the cursor to ENTER and pressing Return causes the data

from the menu to be checked. If there are no errors or warnings, the

installation proceeds normally.

J If there are error or warning messages, system errors are shown first,

followed by menu errors, and then warnings. By repeatedly pressing

Return, the system cycles through the messages and back to the

main menu. Once in the main menu, you can quit if system errors

need to be corrected. For menu errors, correct the menu data and

press Return to check the corrected data.

J Menu item error messages appear with the menu item number and

text.

J Pressing Ctrl-w refreshes the menu screen.

J Pressing Ctrl-e deletes the current data field.

J If there are no error messages the menu disappears from the screen

and is replaced with information messages from the various stages of

the installa tion.

J Once installation has started, do not try to interrupt it. Installation

typically lasts about 20 minutes on an AXP system and 60 minutes

on a VAX system.

J A log file, sybase_envox_inst.log, is produced in the sys$manager

directory. If the installation does not proceed as expected, study the

log file to help determine the cause.
