Solaris 8 & Teradata...

[devendrap]

Hi,

We are planning to move on Solaris for webi.
Teradata is the database and Repository is in Oracle.

Will solaris-8 support teradata as middleware?

I have readme file for Webi on unix(5.1.3).. It seems little confusing.

Appreciate you response.

Thank you...

I am assuming the Teradata has SQL*net for TCP/IP, then the Sun will find it fine with SQL*Net for TCP/IP on the WABI box The one thing you can't give for your heart's desire is your heart. - Lois McMaster Bujold

Hi,
Teradata only runs on MPRAS ( NCR's proprietary UNIX ) and Windows 2000. The SUN box will appear as a network attached client to Teradata.

Teradata doesn't care where the applications that interface with are coming from provided they can access the BOX via TCP/IP using one of the Teradata certified interfaces

JDBC,
ODBC,
CLI ( its own Prioprietary Call level interface ).

Now TCP/IP, can be across ethernet, FDDI, token ring, whatever again teradata doesn't care.

You may have to add special Host alias names

to your HOSTS file for your applications to be able to use DNS to locate the Teradata server.

Now to get the SOLARIS CLI, ODBC and JDBC driver for Teradata you should contact your NCR account team.
