Netezza web console

In 1.0.7.8, the NPS web console is no longer hosted in the OpenShift virtual machine. Instead, it is running on a bare-metal control node in a stand-alone container. The container images are installed on all control nodes for high availability. NPS web console is reinstalled during the upgrade, but you can also install it manually on a separate Linux machine. For more information, see Netezza web console.

Netezza command line interface

As a database administrator or a database user, you can also access the Netezza CLI as described in Netezza administration interfaces.
