To set up the client environment, enter one of these groups of commands at a command prompt,

replacing <your JDK directory> with the location of your Java Development Kit and <type 4

home> with the name of the directory where you downloaded the JDBC Type 4 driver:

• On Windows:

set JAVA_HOME=<your JDK directory>

set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;<type 4 home>\lib\hpt4jdbc.jar;

• On HP-UX, Solaris, or Linux:

export JAVA_HOME=<your JDK directory>

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:<type 4 home>/lib/hpt4jdbc.jar:
