    The value of the platform parameter can be one of the following:
    • aix

    • opteron
    • pa-risc
    • s390x

    teradata-client-platform-media-name.tar. If the archive is compressed with gzip.exe, the script appends .gz to the filename.

  • Run the script with platform as the second parameter after the list parameter to list the packages available for the specified platform.

If you specify a package other than a dependent package, all of the following dependent packages are included in the archive:
  • cliv2

If you specify package names after the platform parameter, the script includes the dependent packages if they are available on the media.
