Installing the Package Files with the Teradata Parallel Upgrade Tool

This installation should be performed by a Teradata systems administrator in collaboration with Teradata Customer Services. A Teradata Change Control is required when a package is added to the Teradata server. Teradata Customer Services has developed change control procedures for installing the SAS in-database deployment package.
The steps assume full knowledge of the Teradata Parallel Upgrade Tool and your environment. For more information about using the Teradata Parallel Upgrade Tool, see the Parallel Upgrade Tool (PUT) Reference, which is at the Teradata Online Publications site located at http://www.info.teradata.com/GenSrch/eOnLine-Srch.cfm. On this page, search for “Parallel Upgrade Tool” and download the appropriate document for your system.
The following section explains the basic steps to install the sasqkb and sepdqacctera package files using the Teradata Parallel Upgrade Tool.
Note: It is not necessary to stop and restart the Teradata database when you install a QKB. However, if the SAS Embedded Process is running, you must stop it and then re-start it after the QKB is installed. It is also necessary to stop and restart the SAS Embedded Process for QKB updates. See Controlling the SAS Embedded Process for information about stopping and restarting the embedded process.
  1. Start the Teradata Parallel Upgrade Tool.
  2. Be sure to select all Teradata TPA nodes for installation, including Hot Stand-By nodes.
  3. If Teradata Version Migration and Fallback (VM&F) is installed, you might be prompted whether to use VM&F. If you are prompted, choose Non-VM&F installation.
If the installation is successful, sepdqacctera-2.70000-n is displayed. n is a number that indicates the latest version of the file. If this is the initial installation, n has a value of 1. Each time you reinstall or upgrade, n is incremented by 1.
Alternatively, you can manually verify that the sepdqacctera installation was successful by running these commands from the shell prompt on one of the Teradata nodes.
psh "rpm -q -a" | grep sepdqacctera
psh "rpm -q -a" | grep sasqkb
If the installations were successful, these commands return the version numbers of sepdqacctera and sasqkb packages, respectively. Failure to return an output indicates that a library of that name could not be found.
The QKB is installed in the /opt/qkb/default directory of each Teradata node.
