Teradata component

Overview

With the Teradata component, you can produce fully customized Teradata data flows in Semarchy xDI.

The database structure can be fully reverse-engineered and stored in xDI Metadata. You can then use it when designing mappings and processes to adapt your business rules according to your requirements.

Install the Teradata Component

If you did not install it yet, install the Teradata component in Designer by following the component installation process.

Third-party libraries

Due to licensing restrictions, we cannot distribute the Java libraries for this database. You must obtain them yourself.

After you have the necessary Teradata libraries, create a Teradata module for your project, and add the libraries to the module.
