The first step in preparing a Windows system for
ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, or .NET is to install the Netezza Performance Server system client tools software on your
system.
-
Perform one of the actions in the following list. In doing so, make sure that you use the
client release that matches the Netezza Performance Server software release of your Netezza Performance Server
system. Do not use Netezza Performance Server clients to
manage Netezza Performance Server systems that use a
different Netezza Performance Server release.
- Insert the IBM®
Netezza® Client Components–Windows DVD into the DVD drive of your client system.
- If you downloaded the client package
(nz-winclient-version.zip) to a directory on your client
system, change to that directory and extract the package.
- Double-click or run the nzsetup.exe file.
This is a standard installation
program that consists of a series of steps in which you
select and enter information that is used to configure the installation.
You can cancel the
installation at any time.
- Specify the following information:
- Destination folder
- You can use the default installation folder or specify an alternative location. The default
folder is C:\Program Files\IBM Netezza Tools. If you choose a different folder,
the installation program creates the folder if one does not exist.
- Setup type
- Select
the type of installation:
- Typical
- Installs the Admin GUI program, the help file, the documentation, and the
console utilities.
- Minimal
- Installs the Admin GUI program and help files.
- Custom
- Installs any combination of the Admin GUI, console applications, and
documentation.
- Review the installation options.
After you review the installation options, the client installer creates the Netezza
Tools folder, which has several subfolders. You cannot change the subfolder names or
locations.
- Bin
- Contains executable
files and support files.
- Doc
- Contains copies of the Netezza Performance Server
user guides and an Acrobat index to search the documentation set.
- Help
- Contains
application help files.
- jre
- Contains Java™ runtime
environment files for the installer
and uninstaller programs of the Netezza Performance Server tools.
- sys
- Contains application string files.
- L-AMKN-9NYM65 NPS 7.2.1 Client
- Contains license files.
- Uninstall Netezza Tools
- Contains files to remove Netezza Performance Server
tools from the client system.
The installation program displays a dialog when installation is
complete. On some systems, the
installation program might prompt you to reboot the system before
you use the application.
The installation program adds the Netezza Performance Server commands to the menu. The program group is IBM Netezza, and it has the
Documentation suboption. The Documentation suboption
lists the installed user guide PDFs.
To use the commands in the bin directory, use the Windows command-line prompt.
