Neoview Command Interface (NCI) Guide (R2.5)

5. After you finish logging in to the database platform, the SQL prompt appears:

Welcome to the HP Neoview Command Interface 2.5

Host Name/IP Address: neo0101.mylab.mycorp.net:18650

User Name: dba1

Password:

DataSource Name [Admin_Load_DataSource]:

Connected to DataSource: Admin_Load_DataSource

SQL>

At the prompt, you can enter an SQL statement or an NCI command. For more information,

see Chapter 4 (page 45).

NOTE: NCI allows you to reenter the login values, with a maximum of three retries, before it

closes the session. For more information, see “Retrying the Login” (page 37).

Using Login Parameters

To avoid entering a host name, user name, password, or data source each time you launch NCI,

use these login parameters:

• -h or -host

• -u or -user

• -p or -password

• -dsn

To ensure that a specific role is applied to the session, use the -r or -role parameter. If you

omit the -r or -role parameter, NCI applies your default role to the session and does not

prompt you for a role name.

NOTE: If you launch NCI from within HPDM, the NCI session inherits the connection attributes

of the HPDM session, including the role.

On Windows, in the Command Prompt window, enter:

cd hpnci-installation-directory\Neoview Command Interface\bin

hpnci.cmd -h neo0101.mylab.mycorp.net:18650 -u dba1 -r ROLE.DBA --p xxxxxx

-dsn DataSourceName

On Linux or UNIX, in the terminal window, enter:

cd hpnci-installation-directory/nci/bin

./hpnci.sh -h neo0101.mylab.mycorp.net:18650 -u dba1 -r ROLE.DBA -p xxxxxx

-dsn DataSourceName

NCI launches and prompts you to enter an SQL statement or an NCI command:

Welcome to the HP Neoview Command Interface 2.5

Connected to DataSource: Admin_Load_DataSource

SQL>

For more information about the login parameters, see Table 3-1 (page 38).

TIP: You can include these parameters in a shortcut to the hpnci.cmd file or in a launch file

for the hpnci.sh file. For more information, see “Creating a Shortcut to hpnci.cmd” (page 31)

or “Presetting the Optional Launch Parameters” (page 34), respectively.
