HP Driver for JDBC
MPE/iX Server Requirements
The HP JDBC Server components require MPE/iX version 6.0 or greater. MPE/iX
components are only required if your JDBC Server platform is the MPE/iX operating
system.
ALLBASE/SQL or IMAGE/SQL Requirements
The HP JDBC Server components require an ALLBASE/SQL G3.01 or IMAGE/SQL G3.00
or greater.
Installation
HP-UX Server Components
The installation of the JDBC Server components must be done by a system administrator
who has “root” capability on the server host where the database resides. A temporary
directory, /tmp/jdbc, is used to stage the user manual, installation scripts, and product
tar file.
The server components are distributed as a UNIX tape archive (TAR) file,
hpjdbc_XXX.tar, where XXX represents the release number of the product.
Once the tar file is copied into a staging directory, /tmp/jdbc, extract the installation shell
script from the tar file:
$ tar xf hpjdbc_XX.tar install.sh
MPE/iX Server Components
The installation of the HP JDBC product must be done by a system administrator on the
server host where the database resides.
The components of HP JDBC are distributed as an archive file, HFSFILES.JDBC.SYS.
Stream the JDBC installation job I00IJDBC, to perform the actual installation:
:stream I00IJDBC.JDBC.SYS
The installation script will extract the server files and client archive files and set up the
JDBC monitor startup scripts.
Java Client Components
The HP JDBC product must first be installed on the server host before the client can be
installed. This is because the client files are bundled with the server product.
The HP Driver for JDBC components consist of the Driver Java class files and a sample
JDBC client source file. These are the only components required on the client-side. The
driver components are packaged in three formats (the same files contents are in each
package), UNIX tape archive (TAR), Java archive (JAR), and Windows ZIP (ZIP).
Setting up HP Driver for JDBC client involves:
• Downloading the appropriate HP JDBC archive file to a temporary directory.
• Extracting the HP JDBC archive file onto your client platform.
