Installing SYBASE Software

F Section 3

Installin g and Upgrading ENVOX

Configuration Software on DEC VAX and DEC AXP Systems (Revision B — May 1998)

You can configure the SYBASE server to allow TCP/IP entry

after installing CDOS.(see section 12).

Step 14: For menu item 9), enter the SYBASE SQL server name. The

server name can contain only alphanumeric characters, dollar

signs ($) and underscore ( _ ) characters. It must be 10

characters or le ss. A default name of SYBASE is

recommended.

Step 15: For menu item 10), enter the memory allocated to the

SYBASE dataserver.

The minimum memory required by the SQL server is 16

megabytes on a VAX system and AXP system. The maximum

memory usable by the SQL server is 64 megabytes.

Approximately 2 megabytes is pre-allocated with 80% of the

remaining memory used for data buffers. Significant

performance improvements may be gained if more memory is

available for data buffers. Do not allocate more than half the

available system memory. Refer to section 10 for system

tuning instructions.

Step 16: For menu item 11), enter the name of the disk which will

contain the SYBASE master directory and master device.

Approximately 42000 blocks are required by the master

device.

Step 17: For menu item 12), enter the size, in Mbytes, for the SYBASE

master device. The default size (20 Mb yte) is sufficient to

support as many as five concurrent ENVOX software users.

For every additional user, the size of the master device should

be increased by 0.5 Mbyte.

Step 18: For menu item 13), enter the name of the disk which will

conta in the SYBASE sysprocs directory and sysprocs de vice.

Approximately 42000 blocks are required by the sysprocs

device.

Step 19: For menu item 14), either leave the default value or enter

another value for the size in Mbytes for the SYBASE sysprocs

device. The default size of 20 Mb is sufficient for normal

operation.

Step 20: For menu item 15), to install from tape, enter the tape device

name where the ENVOX software media is located and

ensure that the tape is inserted and mounted. To install from

disk, enter the full directory pathname where the savesets are

stored.

Step 21: Move the cursor to ENTER and press Return to continue the

installation.
