Using Teradata Data Sources

You can use Teradata Parallel Transporter (TPT) from Teradata Tools and Utilities to significantly improve data load performance. With this method, ODBC is used to extract the database schema; then TPT retrieves the data.

Essbase supports Teradata Parallel Transporter (TPT) 12 with the Teradata 12 ODBC driver on the following platforms: 32-bit and 64-bit AIX, 32-bit HP-UX, 32-bit and 64-bit Red Hat Linux, 32-bit and 64-bit Solaris, 32-bit Windows, and 64-bit Windows AMD. TPT 12 can connect to Teradata V2R6.x and V12.x databases, not to Teradata V2R5.x databases. Consult your Teradata documentation for supported configurations.

For information about the versions of Teradata databases that Essbase supports as data sources, and supported Teradata ODBC drivers, see the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Installation Start Here.
