README for the HP Neoview JDBC Type 4 Driver (Upd3 R2.3 SP3)

Installing the JDBC Type 4 Driver from the TAR File (hpt4jdbc_2.3.<v>.tar)
1. Dearchive the hpt4jdbc_2.3.<v>.tar file by using the tar command (or the WinZip Extract
tool):
tar –xvf hpt4jdbc_2.3.<v>.tar
The command creates these directories:
• samples/, which contains sample programs
• lib/, which contains the hpt4jdbc.jar file
• install/, which contains sanityCheck and UnInstall
2. Set up the client environment. See Setting Up the Client Environment.
Installing the JDBC Type 4 Driver from the JAR File (hpt4jdbc_2.3.<v>.zip)
1. Run the installer by using the jar command. You can specify the pathname of the install
directory, shown here as <type 4 home>, as an optional parameter:
java.exe –jar hpt4jdbc_2.3.<v>.zip <type 4 home>
For example:
java.exe –jar hpt4jdbc_2.3.3.zip C:\JDBC
2. If you include the install directory in the jar command, the installer displays a message
indicating that it is extracting files to that directory, for example:
Extracting files to C:\JDBC
If you do not include the install directory in your jar command, the installer displays the
following prompt:
Specify install directory or hit <enter> to use default.
The default directory is C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Neoview JDBC.
The installer lists the files as they are extracted and reports when the operation is complete.
3. Set up the client environment. See Setting Up the Client Environment.
Reinstalling the JDBC Type 4 Driver
1. Close all applications running on the workstation, except the Web browser.
2. In the browser, navigate to the download site: www.software.hp.com.
3. Enter this string in the Search box:

4. Download and save the new TAR or JAR file to the directory or folder where you had
previously downloaded the driver.
5. Dearchive the hpt4jdbc_2.3.<v>.tar file by following the instructions in “Installing the JDBC
Type 4 Driver from the TAR File (hpt4jdbc_2.3.<v>.tar)” (page 7), or dearchive the
hpt4jdbc_2.3.<v>.zip file by following the instructions in “Installing the JDBC Type 4 Driver
from the JAR File (hpt4jdbc_2.3.<v>.zip)” (page 7).
6. Set up the client environment. See Setting Up the Client Environment.
Setting Up the Client Environment
To set up the client environment, enter one of these groups of commands at a command prompt,
replacing <your JDK directory> with the location of your Java Development Kit and <type 4
home> with the name of the directory where you downloaded the JDBC Type 4 driver.:
• On Windows:
set JAVA_HOME=<your JDK directory>
set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
