Supported Platforms for a Replication Server

In a Teradata environment, you install Oracle GoldenGate on a server that is separate from the one where the Teradata target databases are installed. This machine will be the replication server and must be a platform that is supported by Oracle GoldenGate for the Teradata database.

Operating System Privileges for Teradata

The Manager process requires an operating system user that has privileges to control Oracle GoldenGate processes and to read, write, and purge files and subdirectories in the Oracle GoldenGate directory. The Replicat processes require privileges to access the database.

Installing ODBC Drivers for Teradata

Install a supported Teradata ODBC driver based on the database version and operating system where Oracle GoldenGate will be installed. Use the following link to find the available Teradata ODBC drivers:
