Support for the Transporter API

Support for Console-Mode Installation

The Transporter client can now be installed in “console” mode when a GUI environment is

unavailable or a GUI installation is not desired. This installation mode is enabled using the

-console option.

For example, use this command:

java -jar nvt_java_client_v.v.v.jar -console

v.v.v indicates the major version, minor version, and update number. For example, 2.4.0

corresponds to the initial release of version 2.4.

Delimited Identifier Support in the Control File Generator

The Control File Generator now supports delimited identifiers in schema, table, and column

names.

For more information about Neoview Transporter client features, installation, configuration, and

usage, see the Neoview Transporter User Guide.
