Teradata Plug-in requirements

Hi,

What are the requirements for teradata plug-in stages in Server 7.5.2 version.

The plug-ins are registered on manager, which are also visible in pallete.

When I try to import table defintion using 'Plug-in Meta Data Defintions' option and selecting Teradata, it gives below error.

Unable to initialize Plug-In

Thanks
Hari

Is the Teradata client software (TUF) installed on the DataStage server machine?

No.. I will get the clients installed.
Is there anything else nees to be taken care of such as updating dsenv, restarting the server etc..

You will need to put the Teradata-related environment variables into dsenv but probably don't need to re-start DataStage services.

The issue has been resolved.

The solution is very trivial. may be that is the reason we overlooked it. The plug-ins were nt working because the PATH variable was not updated.
