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

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.
hostname
specifies the host name or IP address of the database platform to which you want the client
to connect. If the hostname is not specified, the value is automatically used from the current
NCI session. If NCI was invoked with the -noconnect launch parameter, you are prompted
for a hostname value.
dsnName
specifies the name of a data source. If the dsnName is not specified, the value is automatically
used from the current NCI session. If NCI was invoked with the -noconnect launch
parameter, you are prompted for a dsnName value.
Considerations
• You must enter the command on one line. The command does not require an SQL terminator.
• If NCI was invoked with the -noconnect launch parameter, NCI prompts you for the
values.
• If the user name or password contains space or special characters, you must put the name
or password within double quotes.
Examples
These commands create a new connection to the Neoview platform from the current or existing
NCI session:
