Installing the JDBC Type 4 Driver from the TAR File (hpt4jdbc_2.4.<v>.tar)
1. Dearchive the hpt4jdbc_2.4.<v>.tar file by using the tar command (or the WinZip Extract
tool):
tar –xvf hpt4jdbc_2.4.<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_installer_2.4.<v>.jar)
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_installer_2.4.<v>.jar <type 4 home>
For example:
java.exe –jar hpt4jdbc_installer_2.4.3.jar 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.
