TTU 17.20 is supported on AIX in SAS® 9.4M8 (TS1M8) with a hot fix. For more information, see SAS Note 70928, “SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Teradata support for Teradata Tools and Utilities (TTU) 17.20 and later in AIX environments.”
Prior to the release of the hot fix, TTU 17.20 was not supported with SAS/ACCESS Interface to Teradata on AIX. This limitation extended to the following products, which have dependencies on SAS/ACCESS Interface to Teradata:
- SAS® Analytics Accelerator for Teradata
- SAS® In-Database Code Accelerator for Teradata
- SAS® Scoring Accelerator for Teradata
Without the hot fix, the only workaround for this issue is to use TTU 16.20.
The following options for using Teradata on AIX are available:
- For SAS® 9.4M3 (TS1M3) through SAS® 9.4M7 (TS1M7), use TTU 16.20 to connect to Teradata 17.10 or earlier.
- Upgrade to SAS 9.4M8, which includes the hot fix per SAS Note 70928.
Customers on other operating systems should refer to SAS KB0036364, "SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Teradata support for Teradata Tools and Utilities (TTU) 17.xx in UNIX and Microsoft Windows environments."
If you attempt to use TTU 17.20 and later with earlier SAS releases, you might encounter symptoms that include failures, a lack of response, and/or errors, such as the following:
ERROR: FastExport either failed before connecting to SAS or timed out before invoking the access module.
ERROR: Multiload failed to invoke the access module. Possible causes include:
(a) Invalid restart table name
(b) Slow network delaying Multiload login to Teradata
(c) MultiLoad unable to find the access module
(d) No space in database to create the restart table.
