Installation Instructions
Downloading the JDBC Type 4 Driver
1. Locate or create a download directory or folder for the TAR or self-extracting JAR file
anywhere on the client workstation.
2. Close all applications running on the workstation, except the Web browser.
3. In the browser, navigate to the download site: www.software.hp.com.
4. Enter this string in the Search box:
“Neoview JDBC”
5. Click the HP Neoview JDBC Type 4 Driver link on the download site to download the TAR
or JAR file.
6. When prompted to open or save the download file to your computer, click Save and then
select the download folder.
Installing the JDBC Type 4 Driver from the TAR File
1. Dearchive the HP_Neoview_JDBC_Type_4_Driver_Vx.y.z_nnnnnn_nnn.tar file by
using the tar command (or the WinZip Extract tool):
tar –xvf HP_Neoview_JDBC_Type_4_Driver_Vx.y.z_nnnnnn_nnn.tar
The command creates these directories:
• samples/, which contains sample programs
• lib/, which contains the hpt4jdbc.jar file
• install/, which contains sanityCheck and UnInstall
2. Set up the client environment. See Setting Up the Client Environment.
Installing the JDBC Type 4 Driver from the JAR File
1. Run the installer by using the jar command. You can specify the pathname of the install
directory, shown here as <type 4 home>, as an optional parameter:
java.exe –jar hpt4jdbc_installer_x.y.z.jar <type 4 home>
For example:
java.exe –jar hpt4jdbc_installer_2.5.0.jar C:\JDBC
2. If you include the install directory in the jar command, the installer displays a message
indicating that it is extracting files to that directory, for example:
Extracting files to C:\JDBC
If you do not include the install directory in your jar command, the installer displays the
following prompt:
Specify install directory or hit <enter> to use default.
The default directory is C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Neoview JDBC.
The installer lists the files as they are extracted and reports when the operation is complete.
3. Set up the client environment. See Setting Up the Client Environment.
