The script that launches Teradata ARC is called runarcnb.bat and is located in /home/baruser. The baruser account must be the owner of this file or Teradata ARC will not launch.

  1. Verify that the runarcnb.bat file has the proper permissions and owners assigned to it:
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 baruser root 2274 Jul 17 15:26 runarcnb.bat
  2. Determine if runarcnb.bat can properly locate the ARCMAIN binary.

    The runarcnb.bat script that launches ARC (in /home/baruser) uses a variable called $INSTALLPATH. The variable is defined by executing an rpm -q command to determine where the ARC package is installed:

    rpm -q --queryformat '%{INSTALLPREFIX}\n' arc

    If the result of this command produces two outputs:

    (none)

    (none)

    ARC might not launch. As a result, jobs in the Teradata TARA GUI could remain in the Connecting phase, and the ARC .out file could remain a zero-length file.

    Workaround: Edit the runarcnb.bat script located in the home directory of baruser and replace the INSTALLPATH variable with a hard-coded path to ARCMAIN: /opt/teradata/arc/bin/.
