Certain Teradata configuration parameters must be set the same on each Teradata system to be managed by Unity. The Unity Compatibility Advisor can discover differences between Teradata Database systems that can affect Unity behavior. The Unity Compatibility Advisor is available from Teradata Professional Services, and is run before Unity is installed.
