README for the HP Neoview Transporter Java Client (Upd2 R2.4 SP1)

Installation Instructions

CAUTION: The installer does not update a Transporter installation. If you have an existing

installation and you reinstall Transporter, you overwrite the files and lose the existing installation.

When you supply the installation path to the installer, a warning message is displayed if the

installation directory has been used before.

NOTE: When you download the Transporter installation file, if you notice that the filename

suffix is .zip instead of .jar, allow the download to complete and then rename the suffix to

.jar.

Required Environment Settings For Client Installation

These settings are required for using the installer.

For example, if Java is installed in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_09:

• export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_09

• export PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_09/bin:$PATH

• export JREHOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_09/jre

Installing the Client Using the GUI

You install the Transporter Java client using a GUI that installs and configures the Transporter

environment.

• For Windows, double-click the nvt_java_client_v.v.v.jar package on your desktop.

• From a supported UNIX-based platform shell, use this command:

java -jar nvt_java_client_v.v.v.jar

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.

If you do not have a GUI environment, the installer displays a message asking if you want to

proceed with “Installing the Client Using CONSOLE Mode” (page 7).

Use these standard buttons to navigate the installation GUI:

• Previous — return to the last screen displayed.

• Next — proceed to the following screen and continue installation.

• Quit — stop installing Transporter.
