Teradata stage query

Hi All,

I have both 8.1 and 8.7 clients installed on my machine
In 8.1 version, I am able to see Teradata API, Load, Multiload and Enterprise stages.
But in 8.7 version, only Teradata connector stage is available.

By searching here in dsxchange, I found out that:-
1) all the utilities of teradata like fastload, multiload etc are available in connector stage itself.

2) we dont have load, mulitoad stage in 8.7 version, instead we have to use connector stage for that.

3) In 8.1 version, if connector stage is needed then a fix/patch will be required.

Can anybody confirm the above points ??

I have no idea.

You could either continue to wait for someone with Teradata experience in both versions to wander by or you could ask your official support provider.

Just wondering:
What happens when you take an 8.1 job and upgrade it to 8.7?
does the stage convert to connector?

I just talked to a freind running 8.7 server with Teradata
He says they have multi load plugin stage
perhaps its a parallel job issue only? :roll:
