The Transporter API

If you are using an HP-UX_IA64, Linux_X86, AIX, or Solaris platform, and you are also using

an ETL (extract, transform, load) tool, you need the Transporter APIs. ETL tools integrate with

the Transporter Client through the Transporter APIs. The libjnvt.so library contains

functionality to invoke the Neoview Transporter Client through these APIs.

An ETL tool may invoke the Transporter client in one of two ways - either launch or attach to

the Transporter client in the same process or launch the Transporter client as an external process.

If the Transporter installer detects that your platform is one of the supported platforms,

Transporter automatically creates a soft-link under NVTHOME/lib to the platform-specific library

and also a soft-link under NVTHOME/mesg for the message catalog file respective to the platform.

Java JDK 1.5 or later is required; HP recommends JDK 1.6.

NOTE: The Transporter API is not supported on a Windows platform.

Uninstalling Transporter

To uninstall the Transporter Java client using the console mode:
