Subject Description
Default Directory The tar_teradata_client_packages script prompts for a directory to create the tar file. To use the default user directory, press Enter. By convention, the default home directory is:
  • /home/username if you run the script as a standard user
  • /tmp if you run the script as root

The script attempts to create the directory if it does not exist. If the location is read-only or unable to be written, the script ends.

Multiple and Dependent Packages If a single package or multiple packages are selected, all of the dependent products are included, even if the product selected is one of the single dependent packages.

Dependent packages typically have mutual dependencies. For example, dependent package cliv2 depends on the dependent packages tdicu and TeraGSS.

Getting Help on the Script To view command usage and optional command parameters, run tar_teradata_client_packages by itself or with the optional help parameter:
  • tar_teradata_client_packages
  • tar_teradata_client_packages help
A screen similar to the following appears:
************************************************************************
*              Tar Teradata Client Packages v.xx.xx.xx.xx              *
************************************************************************
Tar Teradata Client Packages

Usage: tar_teradata_client_packages list
       tar_teradata_client_packages list {platform}
       tar_teradata_client_packages {platform} [{package1} {package2}
       ...]
Parameters:

commands         : help, list, {platform} [{package1} {package2} ...]
 help            : Display this help message.
 list            : List the available platforms and packages from the
                   media.
 list {platform} : List the packages available for the specified
                   platform.
 {platform}      : Available platforms: aix, ia64, pa-risc,
                   i386, s390x, opteron, sparc
                   Create the tar file for the supplied platform and
                   include all packages or individual packages.
{package}        : Specify the packages available on this media for the
 specific platform. The parameter "all" (or blank) will
 include all available packages. To specify individual
 packages, list the packages separated by a space.
 Example: ttcp.bat linux bteq fastld

The dependencies will automatically be included and do not need to be
listed individually. The following packages are included:
---TeraGSS cliv2 tdicu piom
Listing the Available Packages and Platforms All of the platforms and packages contained on the installation media can be listed by running the tar_teradata_client_packages script with the list parameter, for example:

tar_teradata_client_packages list

To list all packages for a specific platform available on the installation media, run tar_teradata_client_packages list platform where platform is the value of one of the platforms, for example:

tar_teradata_client_packages list hp-ux

A screen similar to the following appears as a result. It lists all the platforms and packages on the current installation media:
************************************************************************
*           Tar Teradata Client Packages v.xx.xx.xx.xx                 *
