Variables

Prerequisites

·        You must have administrator rights for your computer.

·        You need to download and unpack the installation package (see Downloading and Unpacking the Software Under Microsoft Windows).

Procedure

...

       1.      Open the Command Prompt and navigate to the local directory that contains the installation files:
maxdb-all-win-<32|64>bit-<arch>-<version>

       2.      Enter sdbinstto call the installation program.

       3.      The system displays the possible installation profiles. Enter the ID for the all installation profile and confirm your entry.

       4.      The system now checks whether the database system was previously installed on your computer.

¡        If installations of the database system already exist on your computer, a list of these installations is displayed.
If you want to install new database software in parallel to the existing installation, enter none. You then have the option of specifying a new installation path. Define an installation path in parallel to the existing installation paths.

¡        If there are no installations of the database system on your computer, the software components contained in the installation profile will now be installed. Depending on the installation profile that you have chosen, the system may prompt you to specify the following paths:

§         Path for storing the data, configurations, and run directories of database instances and database applications (the system default is C:\Program Files\sdb\data)

§         Path for storing the programs and libraries shared by the database instances and database applications (the system default is C:\Program Files\sdb\programs)

§         Path for storing the server software that depends on the database version.
This path must be unique.
Multiple directories with different versions can exist alongside each other (the system default is C:\Program Files\sdb\<version>).

Enter your chosen paths or confirm the system default values.

A message will be displayed informing you that the installation was successful.

       5.      If the database system was not installed on your computer before now, we recommend that you now shut down and restart your computer to make the <independent_program_path> known to the system.

Result

The all database software installation profile is now installed and registered on your computer. You can use the log to check the result of the installation (Logging on Microsoft Windows).

You can now create new database instances using the Database Manager

(See:

·        Creating a Database Instance in the Database Manager GUI documentation

·        Creating a Database Instance in the Database Manager CLI documentation

·        The Web DBM documentation).
