README for HP Neoview Release 2.4-P Service Pack 2

Introduction
This README describes the new features in Release 2.4-P Service Pack 2 of the HP Neoview
Data Warehousing Platform for Business Intelligence. The README also describes the release
version identifier naming convention for hardware platforms, and mentions where to download
client software and where to find documentation. Your HP representative can help you determine
the release level of software currently installed on your Neoview platform.
Release Version Identifier Naming Convention for Hardware Platforms
The HP Neoview data warehousing platform denotes the software version based on a release
version identifier, such as Release 2.4, Release 2.4 Service Pack 2, and Release 2.4-P Service Pack
2. The release identifier applies to software running on Neoview platform based Integrity rx2620
and Integrity rx2660 servers, and Neoview BladeSystems. Where there is a need to distinguish
between the hardware platform for a given release version, a -N at the end of a release version
identifier specifies Neoview platform based Integrity rx2620 and Integrity rx2660 servers, and a
-P at the end of a release version identifier specifies Neoview BladeSystems. For more information,
contact your HP representative.
Where to Download Client Software
Client software, which enables you to connect to and manage the Neoview platform, can be
