When I try to use TPT wizard to connect to SQL Server using odbc DSN I am getting: There was an error initializing the driver for usage.
My configuration is the following:
Teradata RDBMS version 14.10.03.06
64bit Windows Server
TTU is patched to 14.10.15.00
I am using Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server.
Should I get this to work or is my only option to install the latest version of TTU 15 which bundles the DataDirect drivers?
Hi everybody,
I used the sample scripts that come with Teradata client for my first script.
What i succed to do is to create an empty table using these 2 scripts:
1*First script of configuration(jobvars1.txt):
TargetTdpId = 'XXX'
,TargetUserName = 'YYYY'
,TargetUserPassword = 'ZZZZ'
',DDLPrivateLogName = 'ddlprivate.log'
,LoadPrivateLogName = 'loadprivate.log'
,TargetErrorList = ['3807']
,TargetTable = 'EMP_TABLE'
,LogTable = 'EMP_TABLE_LOG'
,ErrorTable1 = 'EMP_TABLE_E1'
,ErrorTable2 = 'EMP_TABLE_E2'
,SourceFileName = 'flatfile1.dat'
,SourceFormat = 'delimited'
,SourceTextDelimiter = '|'
,OpenMode = 'read'
2*Second script of configuration(jobvars1.txt):
DEFINE JOB qsetup1
(
APPLY
('DROP TABLE EMP_TABLE;')
,('CREATE TABLE EMP_TABLE(EMP_ID VARCHAR(10), EMP_NAME VARCHAR(10));')
TO OPERATOR ($DDL);
);
when i check in teradata using a basic SQL : select * from EMP_TABLE;
i have no records which is normal.
But when i execute the third script which is as follow:
DEFINE JOB qstart1
(
APPLY $INSERT TO OPERATOR($LOAD)
SELECT * FROM OPERATOR($FILE_READER);
);
and i execute the command "tbuild -f qstart1.txt -v jobvars1.txt -j qstart1" i have the following output:
$ tbuild -f qstart1.txt -v jobvars1.txt -j qstart1

which means that everything went correctly however when i check my table i don't found any record in it.
Could anyone helps me on that please?
Many of you are already know, that Teradata has only 30 CONCURRENT Fast-Load slots awailable. In other words, it means that you can have only 30 simultanious dataflows for loading data, not more.
For our division it turned into bottleneck, because we need much more parallel transfers. Sometime, our sources (OLTP database for example) are situated many miles away and therefore very slow.
So, please, share your experience, how do you overcome this? Maybe there are any hidden tricks that we don't know?
Thanks.
Hi all,
I am having difficulties loading the DateTime data type with TPT from SQL server into teradata using the UTF-16 char set. I keep getting the 2673 error code '2673 SOURCE PARCEL LENGTH DOES NOT MATCH DATA THAT WAS DEFINED'. When I leave out the DateTimes my script loads fine, it is only when I add a DateTime field that things go sour. Any ideas anyone on how to correctly load DATETIME data type into TIMESTAMP(3)? Exporting the the data to a file with bcp utility and doing a fastload works fine.
this is my script:

TPT_INFRA: At "SELECT" missing SEMICOL_ in Rule: STEP
Compilation failed due to errors. Execution Plan was not generated.
Job script compilation failed.
This is because of the line
CASE WHEN NULL01 = 'FF'XB THEN NULL
ELSE COL2 END AS COL2
as byte comparison is failed to be recognised as such,i think :)
Also if i define the COL2 as CHAR in the layout , the Data2 is going to error tables and data1 is going to the target table.
as such by specifying the jobscript as "SELECT * FROM OPERATOR" the data1 gets inserted in to error table and data2 in to target table.
can you guys help me with this?
I am new to Teradata and Data Mover. I am trying to create a Data mover job via Viewpoint and when I save it, it says that the job already exists. But I don't see it in the jobs list both from viewpoint or command line. How can I get rid of this duplication?
Thanks

Hi,
Some utility load slot questions...
1. Are there any guidelines for the number of utility load slots a Teradata system can have? Is there a limit? How is it determined.
2. How do we configure Teradata to have more or less load slots?
3. Exactly what is a utility load slot? For example, is it a dedicated AWT?

Hi,
I am new to Teradata. I am trying to load the data from csv file to Teradata 13.0 on VMWARE using TPT, where in columns are enclosed with double quotes (") and delimited with pipe ( | ).
e.g.

"1002"|"Manish"|"FIN"|"25000"|"1990-01-01"

Data is getting loaded but double quotes are getting included in data.
In Teradata data is as below -

---------- ---------- -------- ---------- ----------
"1004" "Macho" "GM "" "1972-05-1
"1002" "Manish" "FI "25000" "1990-01-0

"1003" "Sid" "" "2000" "1986-04-2
"1006" "Mani" "FI "25000" "1990-01-0
If column length is less, then the data is trimmed before getting loaded. e.g. column EMP_DEPT and DOB.
Can you please help me out urgently. I am stuck up on this for last 3 days.

We have a pair of Windows Server 2008R2 machines (Xeon, 4 cores; 32GB RAM each) used as an Informatica 9.6.1 PowerCenter grid, which have several Teradata tools installed.
ETL developers complained to me that BTEQ doesn't run right in the grid so I had to shut one of the nodes down. To test, I opened a command window on each machine and attempted to run bteq.
Server 1 can run BTEQ just fine, but Server 2 throws an error:
bteq.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ecln_cleanupOne could not be located in the dynamic link library icuuctd36.dll
I've checked all environment variables and between Server 1 and Server 2 they are identical, even down to the order of the entries under PATH.
I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling the ODBC for Teradata 32 bit and 64 bit, as well as CLIv2 based on some of what I've found online, but to no avail.
I'm suspecting there is a corruption in one of the components that bteq relies on, but I'm not familiar enough with the tools to know which one.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what is missing somewhere or where to go next with this?
There's quite a list of installed Teradata components (I inherited these machines this way, not sure what we have that might be extraneous but I'm sure there is clutter):

I have Windows 7 64 bit machine
I noticed that Oracle.Net was not in the connection dialogue menu under Provider.
I have ODP.Net installed for other Oracle applications.
Can someone, please, help on how to get Oracle.Net under connection dialogue or propose another connection method excluding ODBC.
I am also using TNS names for another Oracle application if it helps.
Appreciate all of the help in advance.
Hi there,
When running queries in a Query Tab, I remember that in previous versions, the colour of the tab would change to indicate that a query was running, and it would change again to indicate when the query had completed.
This functionality isn't working for me in 15.00 - whilst the query itself is highlighted while being executed, the colour of the never changes... I wonder if there's a setting I have missed?
Thanks
Hello:
Does anyone know how to write code to have a column, or columns, be highligted in the result set? Or, maybe have the font a different color...?
I can manually double-click a row header once the results are returned and the format cells window opens, from here I can highlight a column but I'd rather not have to search for that, highlight, etc.
Thanks,
Kirk
hi dnoeth,
it is so wired , i could use my TDA to connect my ODBC . I can't do it today;
I did like usually, open the VM, use /etc/init.d/ tpa start and then tpestate -a; bteq logon seccessfully; finally use TDA to connect ,but i can't but 10060 WSA E TimeOut...

Hi All,
I am loading varchar(max) / nvarchar(max) data from sql server to Teradata using TPT and data direct drivers. The trimmed length of varchar(max) column is 5356651. I am unable to load this data as data dorect drivers replaces varchar(-1) instead of varchar(max).
Any idea how I can load this data into teradata?
Hi All,
I am new to Teradata and am currently trying out the JDBC fastload. In my application I am trying to use Fastload using JDBC. The first record is skipped everytime I try to export the data from a csv file to Teradata db. How can I make sure that the first record is not skipped?
Please advice.
