There are three options that you can use to download software.
- HTTP
- Public FTP
- FTP or SFTP
There are two different types of HTTP options:
- HTTP (enhanced) for Customers: Customers accessing the http://esd.teradata.com site will be presented with this download option. This option uses the Akamai Download Manager to provide faster and more dependable http downloading. This option can also be leveraged by Teradata associates when accessing this site while off of the Teradata Network.
- HTTP for Teradata Associates: This option bundles the selected files in one zip file and downloads the file to your local workstation. Teradata employees cannot download ESDM (for US tax-exempt) orders.
A high-speed connection (10 MBps or better) when downloading files is strongly recommended.
Do not decompress the downloaded files until you have moved them to the system where they will be installed. If you do so, the installation or upgrade process may fail.
The ESD web interface provides access to a number of features.
- A: ESD/ESD User Manual
- Toggles between the main page of the Teradata ESD web site and the ESD user documentation in PDF format.
- B: Table of Contents
- Download Software: Displays the files you can download in the right pane. Select the appropriate OS version for your system.
- C: Content display
- Displays content relevant to the link clicked in the Table of Contents pane.
- D: Download options
- Provides options for download types and enables choice regarding label file download.
