I was able to download, unpack, and start the Express 14.0 VM using VMWare Player.  However, when our administrators try to get it to run on VMWare ESX they can't get it to start.  Will Express only run in VMWare Player?

 
I am running Teradata Express 14 running on a vmware hosted Suse Linux operating system.
Thus I have the following layers:
Windows 7 64bit
VMWare Player
Suse Linux
Teradata Express
 

I'm working on evaluating user's trust in cloud computint. I've designed a questionnire for doing so. please help me fill this questionnaire. I'll be so grateful.

Hello,

 I am trying to get on VMWARE TD. I have VMWARE player up and running with windows XP installed. But I m trying to install a SLES_10 TD on linux. I downloaded the Teradata express for VMWARE from

http://downloads.teradata.com/download/database/teradata-express/vmware

I've worked with both versions a bit, and TD12 (not the database, just the image itself) takes a LOT longer to start up than the equivalent TD13 version (I'm using 1TB versions of each). I've configured them the same (cpu, memory, network).

Any thoughts as to why 12 is so much slower than 13?

Hi,
Need some help with licenses. I am unable to start the virtual machine in VMware server 2.02. I have the 40GB version of TD Express 13.0 installed and its showing in the inventory. All attempts to start this VM give me the error "Power On Virtual Machine failed to complete... Details: There are not enough licenses installed to perform the operation."

Its not clear to me if this is a VMware licence issue, or TD Express-related.

My laptop only has an 80 GB disk. I want to run the Teradata Express 13.0 Virtual machine, and my laptop meets all of the requirements for this. It's nice that the initial installation size starts out at 10 GB. I can fit that in my laptop. The standard version has a Teradata capacity of 40 GB, starting out with a 2 GB pdisk. That 40 GB has me concerned.

Hi all,

I'm installing Elastic Marts Builder (EMB) - but as per installation guide, it seems you can only assign it to one Teradata database. Is there a way I can set it up so users can create EMB objects to different databases, say accounting users have access to build their tables, views etc to DB-X and marketing use DB-Y ? Our Teradata system is v12.

The "Configure Teradata Express for 12.0 for Amazon EC2" document says to use an SSH client to connect to the external IP address of the instance. How do I locate the external IP address of the instance?

Hello - I am exploring the possibility of using an existing ETL tool (Ab Initio) to load data into TD Express databases for test/dev purposes. The ETL tool is already used to load data into a production TD system.

Hi Guys,

Is where a way to connect to it directly from my workstation, not from virtual Linux machine? If it is possible what Database Server name must I enter and what Authethentication mechanism?

If it is not possible how to install SQL Assistant on a virtual Linux machine where bteq is installed by default

Thanks in advance

Hello - having a problem starting TDE-V (TD13, 1TB).

In my SLES guest I get the following errors when attempting to start TD with the "/etc/init.d/tpa start" command:

# /etc/init.d/tpa start
# Teradata Initiator Service starting...
INFO:

cloud integration platform is the key to realizing the full potential of your cloud investment. Without the ability to integrate
your data in the cloud with your on-premise applications and databases, you create data silos and inefficiencies that
can all but wipe out the benefits of the cloud.

Hi,
i am final year student of department of computer science and engineering of Shahjalal university of science and technology,sylhet,Bangladesh. I am doing final year thesis on cloud computing. but have faced problem while setting up the cloud(alchemy/eucalyptus).

I downloaded the TD Express 40GB zip file fine. Windows gave me an error 0x80004005 (unspecified error) when I tried to extract the contents using Windows Explorer (Win 7 Ultimate sp1). WinZip however, extracted the contents with no error. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, TDE could save users hours of troubleshooting this problem by 1.

Hi fellows,
I have installed VMware player and sucessfully done with the following steps given: http://developer.teradata.com/database/articles/introduction-to-teradata-express-for-vmware-player
 
My question is when i am trying to start the Teradata SQL assistant it was showing 
 

Could not connect to New Teradata Database.

Dear all
I have just attempted to install VMWare Player on Windows 8 professional and it rudely declines because Windows 8 pro comes with Windows Hyper Visor.
 

Using the URI, teradata://ec2-23-22-91-158.compute-1.amazonaws.com:1025/dbc, , I am unable to connect to the Teradata express instance on amazon ec2. The error message is as shown below. Looks like I need to specify the DatabaseServerName in the URI. What should the name be - I tried a couple but get the same error.
thanks.
 

I am unable to attach to the second volume I have created for the TD14 image.  The first attached without a hitch but now the second is hanging.  I have detached, rebooted, stop and restart the instance, but nothing seems to help.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Good Morning All,

I'm hoping that ANYONE can help me figure this out.  I have been unable - for the last few days - to connect ANY application to the TDExpress DB's in either version 13.10 or 14.00 on VMWare.  As an aside, it did work once....so I know it's possible.

After I accept the Ts&Cs I get a blank page at http://d289lrf5tw1zls.cloudfront.net/database/teradata-express/14.00.00.01/td-express-14.00.00.01-vm-4gb.7z  - the progress bar at the bottom of this slowly fills up as the file is downloaded.

Does LDAP (AuthenticationSupported="yes" AuthorizationSupported="no") work in TDE 14?

The TdgssUserConfigFile.xml file successfully used in TDE 13.10 was moved to TDE 14.
Testing using tdsbind in 14 does not authenticate properly.
The VM for TDE14 has the identical IP settings as the VM for TDE13.10.
