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.
Getting the Version of an Installed Client Product
If you already have the driver installed on your workstation, follow these steps to print version
procedure (vproc) information on the terminal:
1. Change to the directory where you installed the JDBC Type 4 driver:
• On Windows:
cd <your type 4 home>\lib
• On HP-UX, Solaris, or Linux:
cd <your type 4 home>/lib
<your type 4 home> is the directory where you installed the JDBC Type 4 driver.
2. Enter this command to return version information:
java –jar hpt4jdbc.jar
Installation of the Neoview JDBC Type 4 Driver
NOTE: If you plan to install multiple client products, the Neoview Windows Client Package
provides a collection of Windows drivers and tools that you can install collectively to save time.
For more information, refer to the README for the HP Neoview Windows Client Package
available at http://www.hp.com/go/neoviewdocs.
These installation instructions apply to Neoview Release 2.5 and subsequent updates of the
product until otherwise indicated by a replacement README.

number shown on the title page of this document.

Installation Package
The HP Neoview JDBC Type 4 Driver can now be installed from a Windows Installer file named
HP_Neoview_JDBC_Type_4_Driver_Vx.y.z_nnnnnn_nnn.msi.
Vx.y.z
Is the version assigned to the client product, such as V2.5.0. This number reflects
the version of the client product and might not be the same as the Neoview
release version. The client product version includes the major Neoview release
number, x.y, and the client update number, z.
The client update number is 0 the first time that the client product is issued for
a major Neoview release, such as Release 2.5. The update number then increases
by one for each update of the client product for the major Neoview release. For
example, V2.5.0 is the first release of the client product for Neoview Release
2.5, and V2.5.1 is the first client update for Neoview Release 2.5.
