Teradata Snap Pack on a Windows Node?

Hello everyone,

We are attempting to use the Teradata TPT snap from the Teradata snap pack and are running into a road block in giving the snap the location of tbuild.exe in the โ€œTBUILD locationโ€ field. I canโ€™t get it to find the file no matter what combination of slashes and folder paths I can think of.

"C:\folder"
โ€œC:/folder/โ€
โ€œC://folder//โ€
etcโ€ฆ

Has anybody else gotten this to work? The documentation doesnโ€™t specify the format and support just says they havenโ€™t thoroughly tested it on windows yet.

Thanks in advance,
Brett

Well, it HAS been a while since I have used TPT, and I have never used it on snaplogic, but I can make two observations that might help you outโ€ฆ

  1. You almost certainly require a windows based snaplex with tbuild on IT. The location of tbuild would have to be there.
  2. On various systems, like UNIX, C related, and some others, \ is used as an escape character. If you want it to work on one level as '', you have to use \. Windows, of course, is not unix, and generally uses \ as a path separator, but some languages may still cause problems, requiring you to use \ To make things worse, if a process passes the string onto ANOTHER process, the conversion must be done THERE also sometimes, so \ must be \\ sometimes.
