HP Neoview Release 2.3 Software - Manual (Page 15)

1 Overview
The HP Neoview Transporter client provides a high-speed load and extract facility to move data
to (load) and from (extract) the HP Neoview platform. Transporter provides these features:
• A Java-based data loader and extractor
• High speed parallel bulk load and extract
• Ability to move data between HP Neoview and other platforms
This chapter addresses the following topics:
• “Network Changes for the Neoview Platform ” (page 15)
• “Load and Extract Operations” (page 15)
• “The Transporter Control File” (page 15)
• “Client Components” (page 16)
Network Changes for the Neoview Platform
For R2.3 and later releases, the internal network for the Neoview platform provides greater
flexibility and higher bandwidth when connecting to a customer network. The internal network
is fully fault-tolerant and uses four HP ProCurve 3500 switches in a ring configuration. Each
3500 switch provides Gigabit-Ethernet (GbE) connectivity ports for connection between the
customer-provided local data loaders and the Neoview platform. In addition, these optional
components are available to expand the base switch features:
• 10 Gb GBICs that enable you to connect directly to customer-provided remote data loaders
or the customer network backbone
• ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply that provides a redundant, external
power supply for the 3500 switches. Each power supply will power two 3500 switches
For more information about the changes to the Neoview platform network and setting up and
configuring the network prior to deployment of the Transporter product, refer to the Neoview
Hardware Installation and Support Guide.
Load and Extract Operations
The Neoview Transporter Client can load data (import to the Neoview platform) to and extract
data (export from the Neoview platform) using:
• Flat Files
• Named Pipes
You create and manage pipes with whatever application you want to use. For more
information about creating named pipes, see
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60127/
mkfifo.1.html
• Neoview SQL queries
• Java Messaging Service (JMS) Trickle Feed
For information about JMS, see http://java.sun.com/products/jms/index.jsp .
The Transporter Control File
The Transporter Control File specifies how you want data moved from sources to targets, and
includes configuration and tuning parameters for Transporter. This manual explains the syntax
and meaning of control file elements so that you can create and customize control files for your
data movement tasks.
You can create a control file with any text editor or use these provided tools:
