This chapter guides you through the installation procedure of Oracle Transparent Gateway for Teradata.
To install the gateway, follow these steps:
Ensure that the system meets all of the hardware and software requirements specified in "System Requirements for Oracle Transparent Gateway for Teradata" section.
Run the Oracle Universal Installer
See "Step Through the Oracle Universal Installer" section for more information on running the Oracle Universal Installer.
Oracle Universal Installer is a menu-driven utility that guides you through the installation of the gateway by prompting you with action items. The action items and the sequence in which they appear depend on your platform.
See Table 3-2 for a description of the installation procedure of Oracle Transparent Gateway for Teradata.
Configure the Gateway.
Refer to Oracle Transparent Gateway for Teradata Administrator's Guide for Microsoft Windows for instruction about how to configure the gateway.
This chapter provides information about the hardware and software requirements for Oracle Transparent Gateway. It contains the following sections:
Table 3-1 lists the system requirements for Oracle Transparent Gateways for Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, and Teradata. Each Oracle Transparent Gateway has the same memory, networking, and disk space requirements.
Table 3-1 System Requirements for Oracle Transparent Gateways
Requirement | Value |
---|---|
Disk Space |
300 MB of additional disk space |
Memory |
512 MB of real memory is recommended to support the gateway. The total real memory requirement for the concurrent use of the gateway also depends on these factors:
|
Oracle Networking |
Oracle Net Services and Oracle Protocol Support for Named Pipes or TCP/IP must be installed on the Oracle Database computer and the gateway computer. The Oracle Net Services components are included on the Oracle Transparent Gateway installation media. |
Processor |
550 MHz |
To ensure that the system meets these requirements, follow these steps:
Determine the physical RAM size. For a computer using Windows 2000, for example, open System in the control panel and select the General tab. If the size of the physical RAM installed in the system is less than the required size, then you must install more memory before continuing.
Determine the size of the configured swap space (also known as paging file size). For a computer using Windows 2000, for example, open System in the control panel, select the Advanced tab, and click Performance Options.
If necessary, then see your operating system documentation for information about how to configure additional swap space.
Determine the amount of free disk space on the system. For a computer using Windows 2000, for example, open My Computer, right-click the drive where the Oracle software is to be installed, and select Properties.
Determine the amount of disk space available in the temp
directory. This is equivalent to the total amount of free disk space, minus what will be needed for the Oracle software to be installed.
If there is less than 100 MB of disk space available in the temp
directory, then first delete all unnecessary files. If the temp disk space is still less than 100 MB, then set the TEMP
or TMP
environment variable to point to a different hard drive. For a computer using Windows 2000, for example, open the System control panel, select the Advanced tab, and click Environment Variables.
Oracle Transparent Gateways for Windows is supported on the following operating systems:
Windows 2000 with service pack 1 or higher. All editions, including Terminal Services and Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Edition (MLE), are supported.
Windows Server 2003
