Neoview Command Interface (NCI) Guide (R2.4)

1. Change the directory to the lib directory, which contains the JDBC driver JAR file:
• On Windows, enter this command:
cd jdbc-installation-directory\lib
jdbc-installation-directory is the directory where you installed the JDBC
driver.
• On Linux or UNIX, enter this command:
cd jdbc-installation-directory/lib
jdbc-installation-directory is the directory where you installed the JDBC
driver.
2. Enter this command to return version information:
java -jar hpt4jdbc.jar
For example:
C:\>cd install\hpt4jdbc\lib
C:\install\hpt4jdbc\lib>java -jar hpt4jdbc.jar
T1249_N27(R2.4)_31MAR09_HP_JDBCT4_2009_03_10
C:\install\hpt4jdbc\lib>
If the JAR file is inaccessible or the returned version is not supported, see “Installing the JDBC
Driver” (page 24).
Installing Perl or Python
If you plan to use Perl or Python scripts with NCI, verify that you have Perl or Python installed
on the client workstation. NCI supports these versions of Perl and Python:
• Perl version 5.8.8
• Python version 2.3.4
If you do not have Perl or Python, download it from any open source software provider. You
can perform this installation procedure anytime before or after installing NCI.
If you plan to run the sample scripts provided with NCI, verify that you have the Perl JavaServer
and Jython (Java implementation of Python) installed on your client workstation. The NCI
Installation Wizard can attempt to automatically download and install both the Perl JavaServer
and Jython open source extensions. To download them manually, refer to the README in the
samples directory.
Installation Procedures
NOTE: Before following the installation procedures, you must install the Neoview JDBC Type
4 Driver on the client workstation. For more information, see “Preinstallation Procedures”
