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

Table 3-1 Launch and Login Parameters (continued)
DescriptionLaunch or Login Parameter
Specifies the password of the user for logging in to the
database platform. password is case-sensitive.
Depending on the security policies in force at your site,
you might be required to supply two passwords—your
own user password and a role password. If you are
required to enter two passwords, specify both passwords
using this format:
userpassword/rolepassword
You might be required to supply two passwords if you
are one of these types of users:
• Power database user (that is, a locally authenticated
database user) associated with ROLE.MGR,
ROLE.SECMGR, or ROLE.DBA
• Platform user associated with one of the platform roles:
SUPER.name, HP.name, or NEOVIEW.name
For more information about security policy options, see
the Neoview User Management and Security Administration
Guide.
For an example, see “Using Login Parameters” (page 36).
{-p | -password} password
Specifies the name of a data source. If
Admin_Load_DataSource (or any data source that you
specify) is not started, NCI returns an error and prompts
you to close the session. If you specify a data source that
does not exist, NCI returns a warning and connects to
TDM_Default_DataSource instead. For an example,
see “Using Login Parameters” (page 36).
-dsn data-source-name
Specifies that an SQL statement or an NCI command be
run when launching the Neoview Command Interface.
You cannot specify this parameter at the same time as the
-s or -script parameter. For more information, see
“Running a Command When Launching NCI” (page 40).
{-q | -sql} "command"
Specifies that a script file be run when launching NCI in
interactive mode. You cannot specify this parameter at
the same time as the -q or -sql parameter. For more
information, see “Running a Script File When Launching
NCI” (page 41).
{-s | -script} script-file-name
Launches an NCI session without connecting to the
Neoview platform (database). For more information, see
“Launching NCI Without Connecting to the Database”
(page 42)
-noconnect
Displays the build version of NCI and the Neoview JDBC
Type 4 Driver. Upon completion of the display, the client
exits. If any other parameters are included with the
-version parameter, they are ignored. For more
information, see “Running NCI With -version” (page 42).
-version
Displays a list of accepted arguments with descriptions
and then exits. For more information, see “Running NCI
With -version” (page 42).
