The first step in preparing a Windows system for ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, or
.NET is to install the Netezza®
appliance client tools software on your system.
Procedure
-
Perform
one of the actions in the following list. In doing so, make sure that you use the client release
that matches the Netezza software
release of your Netezza system. Do
not use Netezza clients to manage
Netezza systems that use a different
Netezza 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 NzAdmin program, the help
file, the documentation, and the
console utilities.
- Minimal
- Installs the NzAdmin program and help
files.
- Custom
- Installs any combination of the administration application, 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
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 tools.
- sys
- Contains application string files.
- Uninstall Netezza Tools
- Contains files to remove Netezza
tools from the client system.
Results
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 commands to the menu. The program group is IBM Netezza, and it has the
suboptions IBM Netezza Administrator and
Documentation. The IBM Netezza Administrator suboption
starts the NzAdmin tool. The Documentation suboption lists
the installed user guide PDFs.
To use the commands in the bin directory, use the Windows command-line prompt.
