Logging In When Launching Neoview Script
To avoid entering a host name, user name, password, or data source when the Neoview Script
interface launches, use the -h (or -host), -u (or -user), -p (or -password), or -dsn
command-line parameters.
NOTE: You can include these parameters in a shortcut to the hpnvs.cmd file or in a launch
file for the hpnvs.sh file. For more information, see “Creating a Shortcut to hpnvs.cmd” (page 43)
or “Presetting the Optional Launch Parameters” (page 47), respectively.
• On Windows, in the Command Prompt window, enter:
cd hpnvs-installation-directory\nvscript\bin
hpnvs.cmd -h neo0101.mylab.mycorp.net:18650 -u dba1 -p xxxxxx
-dsn DataSourceName
• On Linux or UNIX, in the terminal window, enter:
cd hpnvs-installation-directory/nvscript/bin
./hpnvs.sh -h neo0101.mylab.mycorp.net:18650 -u dba1 -p xxxxxx
-dsn DataSourceName
The Neoview Script interface launches and prompts you to enter an SQL statement or a Neoview
Script interface command:

Running a Command When Launching Neoview Script
To execute an SQL statement or a Neoview Script interface command when launching Neoview
Script, use the -q or -sql command-line parameter. This parameter enables you to run a single
command on the command line without having to enter commands in the Neoview Script
interface.
NOTE: You cannot specify this parameter at the same time as the -s or -script parameter.
When using -q or -sql, you must enclose the command in double quotes. The SQL terminator
is not required at the end of an SQL statement and is disallowed after a Neoview Script interface
command.
Although you can run any of the Neoview Script interface commands with -q or -sql, the @,
OBEY, and PRUN commands are the most useful. For a list of supported SQL statements, see
Appendix B (page 139).
