Install DataDirect SequeLink Server without license information
 
Resolving the problem

Background:
DataDirect (formerly Merant) SequeLink JDBC Driver is a type 3 JDBC Driver. That means it has two components:
  1. SequeLink Java Client
  2. SequeLink Server

Installation:
The SequeLink Java Client is installed with WebSphere Application Server 3.5.3+ and 4.0.x.

For the SequeLink Server, you must download the SequeLink Server for your database of choice from WebSphere Application Server's Support Web site.

To install the SequeLink Server:
  1. Unzip the downloaded zip file (sl51sqlsrvr.zip for SequeLink Server for MS SQLServer) into a temporary directory; for example: D:\download\sqlnk51sqlserver

  2. In a command prompt window, navigate to the directory in Step 1, then run the setup.exe with parameter /v"IPE=NO"; for example: Download\sqlnk51sqlserver> setup /v"IPE=NO"



The interface is displayed and all the screenshots with action are highlighted:







Click Change to change the installation directory.



Notes:
  1. You can change the names and port numbers for the above two services: SL Agent and SL Server (it is recommended that you keep the defaults). If the ports 19995 and/or 19996 are used by other applications, then you have to pick different ports.
  2. When you make connection from your JDBC application, use the port for SL Server; for example: 19996.

The SL Agent is *USED* for administration/configuration.




Click Install.



After it is installed, check your Windows Services. You will see that two services, SLAgent51 and SLSQLServer51, are running.
