README for the HP Neoview Command Interface (NCI) (R2.5)

Checking Version Compatibility
Before installing the client product, you must check that the product is compatible with the
version of the Neoview release installed on the Neoview platform.
For all client products, refer to the Neoview Client and Platform Compatibility Reference for version
compatibility information. This document is available at http://www.hp.com/go/neoviewdocs.
NOTE: In previous releases, Neoview Command Interface (NCI) was called Neoview Script.
Getting the Version of an Installed Client Product
Displaying the Installed Version of NCI Without Launching NCI
To display the installed version of NCI without launching the Neoview Command Interface and
connecting to the database platform:
1. Change to the lib directory, which contains the NCI JAR file:
• On Windows, enter this command if you installed NCI in the default location:
cd "\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Neoview Command Interface\lib"
If you installed NCI outside of the default location, enter this command:
cd hpnci-installation-directory\nci\lib
hpnci-installation-directory is the directory where you installed the NCI
software files.
• On Linux or UNIX, enter this command if you installed NCI in the default location:
cd /usr/local/nci/lib
If you installed NCI outside of the default location, enter this command:
cd hpnci-installation-directory/nci/lib
hpnci-installation-directory is the directory where you installed the NCI
software files.
2. Enter this command to return version information:
java -jar hpnci.jar
For example:
C:\>cd "\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Neoview Command Interface\lib"
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Neoview Command Interface\lib>java -jar hpnci.jar
T0774N29_(R2.5)_18JUN10_HP_NCI_2010_06_30
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Neoview Command Interface\lib>
If the JAR file is inaccessible or if the returned version is not supported, see “Installing the
JDBC Driver” (page 10).
