• From an HPUX command prompt, use this command:
$ nm ./lib/libdbtapi.so | grep T-number_for_the_API_library
• From the Transporter log file (when executing the API from an ETL tool that is integrated
with Transporter), search for the word “Version”.
The version number is the entire string that begins with the T-number for the API library.

Installation Package
The Neoview Transporter Streamlined Access Interface (SAI) API software package is available
as a zipped tar file (nvt_sai_v.v.v.tar.gz) for the HP-UX Itanium platform. The v.v.v string
is the version number (for example, 2.3.0).
Installation Instructions
Installing or Reinstalling the Neoview SAI API
1. Create a temporary directory.
2. Download the software from the HP download site: www.software.hp.com.
3. Move the distribution file to the directory where the software is to be installed. The
recommended location for installation is either /usr or /opt.
4. Expand the installation and product files: gunzip nvt_sai_v.v.v.tar.gz
5. Extract the installation and product files. This creates a directory called nvtransport
within the current working directory.
For example, tar -xvf nvt_sai_v.v.v.tar.
