SAP IQ Release Bulletin [Linux] 4 PUBLIC Product Summary 3 Installation and Upgrade This section provides last-minute information about installation and upgrading that was omitted from or incorrect in your installation guide, or that needs special emphasis. For detailed information about installing and upgrading SAP IQ, see the SAP IQ Installation and Update Guide. Before you run a new version of SAP IQ, see Restrictions for the most current requirements. CR# Description n/a SAP IQ 16.0 Requires a License SAP IQ 16.0 uses the SAP Software Asset Management (SySAM) licensing mechanism that lets system administrators enable and monitor their site’s use of SAP products. SAP IQ includes separate SySAM licenses for each product edition and separate licenses for any optional features available for that edition. See Licensing Your Software in the SAP IQ Installation and Update Guide. n/a SAP IQ Cockpit does not support SAP IQ version 15.4 Use SAP Control Center 3.3 to manage and migrate your 15.4 database. Once migrated, you can use SAP IQ Cockpit. 711014 The pluggable authentication module (PAM) configuration file (sybase-csi) supplied with SCC does not support Linux RedHat 6.0. For more information on sybase-csi files, see Configuring a Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for UNIX in the SCC online help. Workaround For RedHat 6.0 support, create a sybase-csi file that contains: auth include system-auth account include system-auth password include system-auth session include system-auth 749005 Certicom Cryptography Services Replaced Certicom software, which provides cryptography services for securing storage and transmission of sensitive information, is no longer supported by SAP products. These services have been re placed by alternate providers, as indicated in the documentation for each SAP product. See Encryption Support Changes in What's New in SAP IQ 16.0. 728377 Extract and Install Installation Packages on the Same Machine The SAP Service Marketplace is an online software delivery service that provides easy access to the latest versions of your software. When you download your software, uncompress the down loaded image and run the installer on the same machine where you install SAP IQ. Do not copy an uncompressed installation archive to a secondary machine and run the install. SAP IQ Release Bulletin [Linux] Installation and Upgrade PUBLIC 5 CR# Description 691212 Avoid Using Relative Path to Launch Installer SAP IQ installation fails if you launch the installer using a relative path. During GUI installation, the installer fails to prompt for the license file information and does not install properly. For example, when launched from the console using a command line: Installer files directory : /system1/users/jones/installdir $SYBASE dir : /system1/users/jones/IQ160 cd $SYBASE ../installdir/setup.bin Workaround Launch the installer from the directory where it is located, or use an absolute path. 688135 SAP Partners with v3 UDFs Must Specify a License Key When Upgrading to v4 If you are an SAP design partner using v3 UDFs, your UDFs will not continue to work after you up grade your libraries to v4 unless you specify the SAP-provided license key in the a_v4_extfn_license_info structure. You must implement the extfn_get_license_info method, and the method must return a valid key. See SAP IQ User-Defined Functions for information on upgrading to the v4 API, and adding the extfn_get_license_info method. 628594 SySAM Licensing Checkout If SAP IQ was licensed using a per-processor license type in previous releases, the license quantity was determined at startup. In this release, SAP IQ periodically checks the number of processors it can use and attempts to check-out additional licenses for any increase. SAP IQ shuts down after 90 days if additional licenses are not made available within this period. See the SySAM Users Guide for details regarding license grace. n/a ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE PROCEDURE ON Required To install new system tables, you must run ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE PROCEDURE ON on existing databases after installing SAP IQ 16.0. For syntax, see SAP IQ Reference: Statements and Options. 615420 Using Remote Server Classes for SAP ASE Component Integration Services (CIS) connectivity from SAP IQ to SAP Adaptive Server Enter prise (ASE) is available using server class aseodbc. The aseodbc server class uses the ASE ODBC driver. The ASE ODBC driver requires a separate installation of SDK 15.5 ESD #8 or higher which can be downloaded from the SAP EBF download site.
