README for the HP Neoview JDBC Type 4 Driver (Upd1 R2.4 SP1)

Setting Up the Client Environment

To set up the client environment, enter one of these groups of commands at a command prompt,

replacing <your JDK directory> with the location of your Java Development Kit and <type 4

home> with the name of the directory where you downloaded the JDBC Type 4 driver:

• On Windows:

set JAVA_HOME=<your JDK directory>

set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;<type 4 home>\lib\hpt4jdbc.jar;

• On HP-UX, Solaris, or Linux:

export JAVA_HOME=<your JDK directory>

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:<type 4 home>/lib/hpt4jdbc.jar:

Configuring Applications

Edit the hpt4jdbc.properties file. Set these values for your environment:

• catalog: The catalog name must be NEO.

• schema: Specify a schema that exists in the Neoview database.

• user: Specify the name of a user who will be accessing the Neoview database.

• password: Specify the password of a user who will be accessing the Neoview database.

• url: Specify this string:

jdbc:hpt4jdbc://<machine_name>:<port_number>/:

<machine_name> is the IP address or name of the database platform, and <port_number>

is the location where Neoview Database Connectivity Service (NDCS) is running.

Example of an hpt4jdbc.properties file:

catalog = NEO

schema = <your schema>

user = <user name>

password = <password>

url = jdbc:hpt4jdbc://<NDCS host>:<NDCS port>/:
