When the Teradata TARA GUI package is installed, the Teradata TARA GUI install_path directory, /opt/teradata/tara/gui, is created.

Under this directory, the bin subdirectory is created. This subdirectory contains the files described in the following table.

Files in bin Subdirectory
File Details
Teradata TARA GUI executable file This file is called taragui.jar.
TARALaunch This utility launches a NetBackup backup or restore job from the Script Repository on a specified TARA server.
TARAJobQuery This utility displays information that is stored a Job Information file. The Job Information file to be accessed is stored in the Job Information Repository on a specified TARA server.
TARAMigrator This utility migrates images created under the legacy Teradata Extension for NetBackup to a Teradata TARA Job Information file. This allows Teradata TARA to restore data from a NetBackup image.
TARAScriptConv This utility converts a TDE backup or restore job from its native format to the format that the TARA server uses. The converted script can then be stored in the Script Repository on a specified TARA server.
Script file The script file is called taragui and is located in /opt/teradata/tara/gui/bin. The user can launch the Java-based Teradata TARA GUI with the script file.

For Linux, run taragui by entering:

export DISPLAY=<your_IP_address or host_alias>
/opt/teradata/tara/gui/bin/taragui &

OR

cd /opt/teradata/tara/gui/bin
./taragui &

For Windows, double-click the TARA GUI shortcut icon on your desktop or navigate to Start > Teradata Client > TARA GUI.

The command-line utilities are useful for field personnel who might not have access to the Teradata TARA GUI.

Run the command-line utilities by typing:

/opt/teradata/tara/gui/bin/<utility name> <parameters>

OR

cd /opt/teradata/tara/gui/bin
./<utility name> <parameters>
