Getting the Version of an Installed Client Product
To display installed versions of NCI and the Neoview JDBC Type 4 Driver in NCI:
• Launch NCI with the -version option. On Windows, enter:
<installer directory>\Neoview Command Interface\bin\hpnci.cmd -version
On Linux or UNIX, enter
<installer directory>/nci/bin/hpnci.sh -version
<installation-directory> is the directory where you installed the NCI software files.
The command displays this version information:
Neoview JDBC Type 4 Driver :
T1249_N26(R2.3)_ABA_<ddmmmyy>_HP_JDBC4_<yyyy>_<mmm>_<dd>
NCI Command Interface :
T0774_N26_AAH(SP2)_<ddmmmyy>_HP_NCI_<yyyy>_<mmm>_<dd>
<ddmmmyy> is the date, where <dd> is the day, <mmm> is the month, and <yy> is the year
(for example, 01JAN08). The second part is <yyyy>_<mm>_<dd> where <yyyy> is the year,
<mm> is the month, and <dd> is the day (for example, 2008_01_15).
To display the version of the downloaded installer file:
1. Change to the directory where you downloaded the hpnciInstaller.jarfile:
cd <installer directory>
2. Enter this command to return version information:
java -jar hpnciInstaller.jar v
The command displays this version information:

<ddmmmyy> is the date, where <dd> is the day, <mmm> is the month, and <yy> is the year
(for example, 01JAN08). The second part is <yyyy>_<mm>_<dd> where <yyyy> is the year,
