README for HP Neoview Release 2.5 (R2.5)

This information can help you understand the operation of the query statistics aggregation
feature, which can improve performance for repetitive, short-running queries. For more
information, see “Query Statistics Aggregation” (page 20).
Support for Stored Procedures in Java (SPJs)
You can now use HPDM to:
• Display a list of jar files uploaded by users in your current role
• Display a list of classes in a jar file
• Display a list of methods in a class file
• Download one or more jar files from the Neoview platform to the workstation
• Upload jar files from a workstation to the Neoview platform
• Rename or remove an uploaded jar file
• Create an SPJ by using a jar file uploaded by you or another user in your current role
• Delete an SPJ created by you or another user in your current role
The SPJ deployment function also supports deploying jar files either to a public folder accessible
by all users for a given role or to a private folder accessible only by the given user. This feature
provides backward compatibility for managing SPJs that might have been deployed by DB
Admin. DB Admin deployed jar files to the user-level private folders.
