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

Running a Script File When Launching NCI

To run a script file when launching NCI, use the -s or -script command-line parameter.

NOTE: You cannot specify this parameter at the same time as the -q or -sql parameter.

After you launch NCI with -s or -script, NCI executes the script file in interactive mode. NCI

remains open until you enter the EXIT, QUIT, or DISCONNECT command. To quit the interface

immediately after executing a script file, include the EXIT, QUIT, or DISCONNECT command

at the end of the script file.

Example of a Script File

You can create a script file that contains SET commands that customize a session when you

launch NCI:

For more information, see “Creating a Script File” (page 61).

Example of Running a Script File With -s or -script

• On Windows, in the Command Prompt window, enter:

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

hpnci.cmd -s settings.txt

Specify the full path of the script file if it is outside the directory of hpnci.cmd.

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

cd hpnci-installation-directory/nci/bin

./hpnci.sh -s settings.txt

Specify the full path of the script file if it is outside the directory of hpnci.sh.

The Neoview Command Interface launches and prompts you to log in by default (if you did not

specify -h, -u, -p, and -dsn on the command line), and runs the commands in the script file:
