An install configuration file (ttu_install.cfg) can be used to change the default behavior during install. Teradata recommends placing the file in the /var/opt/teradata directory.
Teradata Tools and Utilities supports the following options (case-insensitive) within the configuration file ttu_install.cfg:
- InstallDir=prefix
- ShareLibs=yes|no
The ttu_install.cfg file can also specified by the path in the environment variable TTU_INSTALL_CFG or in the user's home directory. If the ttu_install.cfg file is not found, then the value of SharedLibs default toyes.
| OptionName | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| InstallDir | prefix | Install root location; for example, InstallDir=/abc |
| ShareLibs | no | Symbolic links are created in /usr/lib, /usr/lib64, /usr/include, and /usr/bin. |
| ShareLibs | yes | Symbolic links are created in /usr/lib, /usr/lib64, /usr/include, and /usr/bin, if we can write to /usr/lib and /usr/bin. If we cannot create the symbolic links, the install fails. |
