2 Installing Neoview Script
NOTE: If you are manually installing Neoview Script on a Linux platform that has the Neoview
data loader installed, use the services or sysadmin ID instead of root, which has been frozen for
the loader. The best way to install Neoview Script on the loader platform is by using the Neoview
Loader Supplemental executive (Installsuppkt). For more information, see the Neoview Migration
and Upgrade Guide.

1. Preinstallation procedures:

Installing and Verifying the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
Neoview Script and the Neoview JDBC Type 4 Driver require a compatible Java version to be
installed on the client workstation. The supported Java versions are:
• JRE 1.4.2
• JRE 1.4.2_01, 1.4.2_02, 1.4.2_03, 1.4.2_04, 1.4.2_05, 1.4.2_06, 1.4.2_07, 1.4.2_10, and 1.4.2_11
These Java versions are not supported:
• Versions before 1.4.2
• Version 1.5
If you are using U.S. Daylight Savings Time (DST), be aware that the start and stop dates for
DST will change from the first Sunday in April to the second Sunday in March and from the last
Sunday in October to the first Sunday in November, starting in 2007. To avoid using incorrect
times, make sure that your Java Runtime Environment uses the correct DST rules. JRE 1.4.2_11
and later versions support the new DST rules.
Installing a Supported Java Version
