An install configuration file can be provided to change the default behavior during install. The name of the file is ttu_install.cfg, and it should be placed in /var/opt/teradata.
If the user wishes to not place ttu_install.cfg in /var/opt/teradata, the following options are available:
- Place ttu_install.cfg in a preferred location, and set the environment variable TTU_INSTALL_CFG to point to that location. For example, if the user wishes to pick ttu_install.cfg from /usr/teradata, then run the following command:
export TTU_INSTALL_CFG=/usr/teradata
- Place ttu_install.cfg in the user's HOME directory.The above locations will be scanned only if no file by name ttu_install.cfg is found in /var/opt/teradata.
We support the following options (case insensitive) within the configuration file ttu_install.cfg:
- InstallDir=prefix
- ShareLibs=yes|no
- updateETC=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 values for SharedLibs and updateETC will default to yes.
| OptionName | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| InstallDir | prefix | Install root location; for example, InstallDir=/abc |
| ShareLibs | no | Symbolic links will not be created in /usr/lib, /usr/lib64, /usr/include, and /usr/bin. |
| ShareLibs | yes | Symbolic links will be created in /usr/lib, /usr/lib64, /usr/include, and /usr/bin, if we are able to write to /usr/lib and /usr/bin. If we are not able to create the symbolic links, the install will fail. |
| updateETC | no | /etc/profile and /etc/csh.login will not be updated. |
| updateETC | yes | /etc/profile and /etc/csh.login will be updated. |
