i downloaded 15.0 TTU, opened the zip and readme, product list all have 14.10. is this an oversight or the wrong package? (before i install). thanks

I want to create and test some user templates, which I'm going to base on the Teradata provided templates $LOAD and $EXPORT.
Do the templates I create have to be saved to the same directory as the ones that are installed with the product?  This directory on Linux only has write permission by root, so I would have to have root access to be able to write to that directory and test the templates.  This would need to be done by a Linus systems administrator, who is unlikely to want to install a template that hadn't been tested.
Ideally I would be able to save the user written templates to a different directory so that if, for example, we reinstall TPT our templates do not get overwritten, and also so we can change the user written templates without needing root permission.
Is this possible?  
Is anyone else using user written templates?  If so how do you manage testing and implementing them?

Hello guys, I'm new to TPT and I run into 

Here is a snippet of my TPT code 

 DEFINE OPERATOR OS_OPERATOR
  DESCRIPTION 'OS CMD OPERATOR FOR TPT'
  TYPE OS COMMAND
  ATTRIBUTES
  (
  VARCHAR PrivateLogName = 'OS_CMD_log',
  VARCHAR OsCmd = 'awk -F "[/,]"'NR>1{printf("%s,%s,%s,%02d/%02d/%04d,%02d/%02d/%04d\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9)}' in_file > out_file',
  VARCHAR IgnoreError = 'NO'
  );

Basically, I'm trying to run this awk command that contains special characters that I assume don't work well with TPT ('" $)

awk -F "[/,]"'NR>1{printf("%s,%s,%s,%02d/%02d/%04d,%02d/%02d/%04d\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9)}' in_file > out_file

How should I write my OsCmd  attribute in order to escape these special characters ?

A general answer of how to handle attribute values that contain special characters is most welcomed :)

Hi All,
I want a customized error output message for each statement failure in bteq. I tried with the below code but getting error
*** Error: Illegal value "MSG" specified. Notify ignored.
 
insert into target_table1 sel * from source;
.if errorcode<>0 then .notify msg 'Bteq failed in table1 insert'; .quit errorcode;
insert into target_table2 sel * from source;
.if errorcode<>0 then .notify msg 'Bteq failed in table2 insert'; .quit errorcode;
is there any other way I can give a custom error message for each failure to findout the failure step exactly ?
Thanks,
Ambuj
 

I got the below mentioned error when I had column name starting with FROM_ in the table.

When I removed the column from the script, it just worked fine.

Is there anything I need to take care in order to make it work.

I know that I can have alias in the schema and export operator select. That is the work around I found but shouldnt tpt work for any columnname?

need your help,
does anyone have an SQL that lists the processes that are using a specific table.  I would like to enter the table name 
and the results would show me which process has/using that table.. 
 
thank you

I am trying to query an Informix database via an ODBC created on IBM Informix ODBC driver version 4.10.00.15364 from Teradata SQL assistant.
I am getting all blanks in output where the field type is varchar or char in source though the source database has information in those columns. Even when  I export data in a flat file, the varchar/char columns come as blank. The version of Teradata SQL assistant is 14.10.0.02
 
Is there any resolution available?

Hello,
 
In Visual Studio the typical way a developer knows if a file has not been saved is by the "*" sign in the tab. The extension created by Teradata clears the "*" when an execute is performed. It would be nice if Teradata followed the Visual Studio standard in regards to this and leave the "*' in the tab until the file is actually saved.
 
Kind regards

Hi,
I downloaded td-ttu-15.00_for_Windows on my personal computer and created a DSN using my public ip over internet as IP server for DSN.
While connecting the DSN on TDA i am getting "10061 WSA E ConnRefused: The Teradata server is not accepting connections".
Thanks,
Nagendra

I am running into a problem with downloading TD Studio 15 in that the 2nd step asks for my JRE directory.   I know that I have JAVA 1.7, but I cannot find the right directory to move the install forward.  Please advise.

Hello:
I posted a few weeks ago here just for some background.
http://forums.teradata.com/forum/tools/easy-loader-issue 
I'm finding I can't use Easy Loader to load a Target table unless that table is created under my default logon directory and that table is qualified in the command line with my default database.  
If I qualify my target table (-t) with another database name or if I qualify my target table (-t) with another database name and also set the working database to that database (--TargetWorkingDatabase) I get a "2583: Worktable is missing" error...
The only way I've been able to load a table from another Teradata table using Easy Loader is by explicity setting the database qualifier to my default database (-t switch) and having the table created inside of this database.  My load happens to be taking a table from one Teradata system and moving it to another Teradata system (tables are not on the same system).
Thanks for listening again!
 
 

I have a fastload utility to load data from txt file into Teradata table. I am trying to get the data from Teradata error table 1 into a structured format in a separate file. But Currently, the data generated from each Data Parcel for each row inserts a new line character after every date type data.
For eg: If my source file has following data
200239|Wk39|200209|October|20023|Quarter3|2002|2002|2002-10-27|2002-11-02|2002-10-06|2002-11-02|2002-08-04|2002-11-02||2003-02-01|||||||
The export data from error table generates it into following format.
200239|Wk39|200209|October|20023|Quarter3|2002|2002|2002-10-27
|2002-11-02
|2002-10-06
|2002-11-02
|2002-08-04
|2002-11-02
||
2003-02-01|||||||
 
I added the delimiters manually using find/repace sed commands.
My query is, what is the way to obtain the data from Fload data parcel as it was in the original source file. Why are these extra new lines being added into the data??
 
 

I am facing an issue where i have a query which has the WHERE clause defined as WHERE sample_dt <> '01/01/2010' (that is with format 'DD/MM/YYYY'). This query when run in  TD Sql Assistant with ODBC connection provider was running perfectly but the same query when with Teradata .Net provider it was failing with below error:
SELECT    Failed. 3535: A character string failed conversion to a numeric value.
Hence i changed the format of the DATE value as '2000-01-01' and the query ran successfully for some users with both the connectivities (ODBC & .Net).
But on further run of the query by other users I have noted that this same modified query was NOT working with ODBC connection but it worked with Teradata .Net connection. Now my question is, with the same environment for the users on versions of the tool and the connectivity providers given below, why are we noticing the difference in execution of the query.
System type: 32-bit operating system.
Database version: Teradata 14.10.01.07
TD Sql Assistant version: 13.11.0.04
ODBC Provider Version : ODBC 13.10.00.06
Teradata .Net Provider Version : Teradata .Net 13.11.0.1
Further when i changed the DATE format in underlying table definition from
sample_dt DATE FORMAT 'DD/MM/YYYY'    to sample_dt DATE FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DD', the query ran perfectly for all the users.
But I wanted to know without the change in formats in table definition, why are we noticing these errors for users using the similar environment as stated above. Please explain.
I assume that ANY Teradata Query SHOULD work on both ODBC and .Net provider. With this change does it mean that there are few features that will not be supported with Teradata .Net connectivity or with ODBC connectivity. If so, can someone tell me what other features will not work and what care should be taken while writing my queries to ensure that they work with both the connections.

Hello,

Seems like the following is a common issue that I have been facing  Truncation while exporting using BTEQ.I serached in google but could not find a good answer thus posting here. I am creating a '|' delemited file using BTEQ and encapsulating all the selected fields  with "" in the output in UNIX environment. But not all the fields are getting exported to the output and getting truncate after column 75. PLease help.

Here is the below script that I am using.

Hello, 
I am trying to export data from a Teradata table wm_ad_hoc.Table1 using TPT to a delemited file format in  UNIX. That table has around 11 million rows and the export works fine using BTEQ.
But when used TPT, only 8 million rows got exported and then errored out with the message
"TPT_INFRA: TPT01403: Error: Unable to write data to the file (fileHandle: 3), System errno: 9 (Bad file descriptor)".
Please help me in  resolvng this error.

Hi, a few days i opened dbscontrol to view a flag, "GENERAL DISPLAY" and showed me the information correctly, but now that I try to enter does not show me anything, the command continues processing but never ends.

The other commands continue works (MODIFY, QUIT, HELP), DISPLAY command only don't works.

I checked running processes and there is none "ps aux | grep dbscontrol".

thx in advanced
