You can include data only from specific types and versions of sources. See Supported Data Sources.
What if I’m using a Teradata version different than the one supported by Data Visualization?
If you're working with a Teradata version different than the one supported by Data Visualization, then you have to update the extdriver.paths configuration file before you can successfully build a connection to Teradata. This configuration file is located here: C:\<your directory>\AppData\Local\DVDesktop\extdrvier.paths. For example, C:\Users\jsmith\AppData\Local\DVDesktop\extdriver.paths.
When updating the extdriver.paths configuration file, remove the default Teradata version number and replace it with the Teradata version number that you're using. Make sure that you include \bin in the path. For example if you're using Teradata 14.10, change C:\Program Files\Teradata\Client\15.10\bin to C:\Program Files\Teradata\Client\14.10\bin.
