To validate the installation of SQLA perform one of the following tasks:
- Execute the following batch command:
sqla -p odbc -c system\user\password -s "Select Date" -e outfile, where:
- system is the name or IP address of a Teradata system
- user is a username authorized to use the Teradata system
- password is the password for this user
- outfile is the name of the export file that will be created
- Simply launch the application and execute a query.
If these simple tests fail, then execute the following command from
within the install directory:
verify.exe sqla
This will display a message stating whether the install is good or not, and a link to a log file that contains the details. This log file is created in the TEMP directory and can be sent to Teradata Support for troubleshooting.
