Installing Teradata Express Edition

There are two options for hosting the Teradata Express Edition (TDE) Linux VM:

• A local VMWare installation.
• Amazon EC2.

1. If using the VMWare Linux VM:

   • Download VMWare Player.

   • Download the Teradata Express Edition VM image (e.g. TDExpress14.0.3_Sles10_4GB.7z).

     NOTE: you will need to register and create an account on www.teradata.com.

   • Unpack the VMWare image (e.g. using 7zip).

   • Start VMWare Player and open the VM image (the .vmx file).

     NOTE: you might want to consider reducing the amount of virtual RAM the for the VM. 1GB should be sufficient for a DbFit test Teradata server. The RAM allocation can be altered from Player -> Manage -> Virtual Machine Settings -> Hardware -> Memory

     NOTE: if you need to logon to the VM use user name root (password root).

2. Configure the connection for the DbFit acceptance tests in the file dbfit-java/teradata/TestDbConnectionDbFitTeradata.properties.custom:

   • Set the user name in the username= key.
   • Set the password in the password= key.
   • Set the hostname and the port number (format is <hostname>:<port>) in the service= key.

3. Create the test database by running the command ./gradlew :dbfit-java:teradata:setUpTestDatabase.

• NOTE: The test database can be destroyed with the command ./gradlew :dbfit-java:teradata:tearDownTestDatabase.

4. Run the Teradata DbFit acceptance tests with ./gradlew :dbfit-java:teradata:integrationTest.
