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:
- ShareLibs=yes|no
If the ttu_install.cfg file is not found in /var/opt/teradata, or in any location stored within TTU_INSTALL_CFG, then the values for SharedLibs default to no and the value for updateETC defaults to yes.
| OptionName | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ShareLibs | no | Symbolic links are not created in /usr/lib. |
| ShareLibs | yes | Symbolic links are created in /usr/lib, if we can write to that location. If we cannot create the symbolic links, the install fails. |
