Teradata ODBC doesn't work with DS XI 3.2 on AIX

88 Views

Hi,

We're experiencing a strange error when trying to load data into a Teradata database. We installed the 64 bit client utilites tdicu, TeraGSS, and tdodbc clients on Windows and could create the ODBC data source and import tables from Teradata in the Desginer. However, after installing the same client utilities in AIX version and executing the job on the AIX server, we always get the following error:

(12.2) 07-27-10 20:58:01 (E) (790772:0001) CON-120103: |Data flow DF_Load_TD_BP

System call to load and initialize functions failed for tdata.so>. Please make sure the shared library is installed and located correctly.

(12.2) 07-27-10 20:58:01 (E) (782374:0001) CON-120103: |Data flow DF_Load_TD_BP

System call to load and initialize functions failed for tdata.so>. Please make sure the shared library is installed and located correctly.

We exhausted all possible researches and all kinds of configurations including uninstalling the 64 bit client and installing the 32 bit client. But we're still not unable to resolve this issue. There is no detailed error message in the ODBC trace file either. I really appreciate it if anyone can help out since this is a critical success criteria to win a strategic customer.

Here is the configuration:

AIX: 5.6 64 bit

DS: XI 3.2 64 bit

Teradata: 12.0 64 bit

This is odbc.ini file
