Important:
  • The Oracle connector is a target connector only and cannot be used as an initiating connector.
  • All Oracle target connector nodes must be driver nodes for communication and data transfer to the Oracle system.
  • Install the Oracle target connector on an edge or additional node and not on Oracle system nodes.

The following are the minimum requirements for an Oracle target connector node to install the Teradata Fabric 3.x software:

  • 16GB RAM
  • 50GB disk space
  • Memory requirements as defined in the fabric/connector setup
  • CPU and JVM configuration for large dataset processing
  • Latest version of JAVA 8 or 11
  • For supported operating system versions, see the Teradata Fabric / QueryGrid Compatibility Matrix

When using the Oracle Connector, the system running the Teradata Fabric driver process handles a greater workload as compared to other connectors. The CPU and memory configuration of the driver node has a significant impact on query performance. The following sample test results are from using different CPU and memory configurations. Multiple driver nodes can be used for load balancing.
