Starting from Teradata Tools and Utilities for IBM z/OS – Gateway Mediated (MF-GTW) version 20.00, files destined for the USS filesystem are installed through SMP/E (no pax).

The OMVS CLI Software is meant to be install under the /usr/lpp directory.

TTU programs make use of certain z/OS UNIX features and facilities. To allow TTU programs to function properly, either a valid RACF OMVS segment must be associated with any RACF User profile under which they execute, or a USS UID must be automatically assigned by z/OS using the RACF FACILITY class profile BPX.UNIQUE.USER.

See UNIX System Services Planning (GA22-7800) for further information.

Confirm the following UNIX System Services (USS) Requirements:

  • Write authority to the USS directories that are used for the pax installation process. (/usr/lpp)
  • Available USS file space (5MB).

If you want to upgrade from version 17.20 and have customized your clispb.dat file, copy the 17.20 clispb.dat file into your 20.00 install directory to retain those customizations. To perform this task, copy this example command:

cd /usr/lpp/teradata/client
cp 17.20/etc/clispb.dat \ 20.00/etc/clispb.dat
