If 16.20 is the active TTU, then we would have:

/Library/Application Support/teradata/client/ODBC/lib -> /Library/Application Support/teradata/client/16.20/lib

/Library/Application Support/teradata/client/ODBC/include -> /Library/Application Support/teradata/client/16.20/include

Inside odbc.ini, all file paths are given in terms of release independent paths which use the symbolic links given above.

For example, the driver location given in /Library/Application Support/teradata/client/ODBC/odbc.ini is Driver=/Library/Application Support/teradata/client/ODBC/lib/tdataodbc_sbu.dylib which corresponds to /Library/Application Support/teradata/client/16.20/lib/tdataodbc_sbu.dylib if 16.20 is the active TTU.

System DSNs can be found in the odbc.ini files in the default location of /Library/ODBC/.

User DSNs can be found in ~/Library/ODBC/. Alternatively, the ODBCINI environment variable can point to an odbc.ini file present in a non-default location.
