Registering a Teradata database with the server

As a server administrator, you have the option to register your data folders, databases, and geodatabases with ArcGIS Server. Data registration gives the server a list of locations that the server administrator has verified that the GIS server can access. Data registration also helps the GIS server understand how to adjust data paths when publishing across machines.

The following sections describe how to prepare your ArcGIS client to connect to a Teradata database and register it with ArcGIS Server.

Installing the Teradata client files

You must install the following files on the ArcGIS client machine:

If you are connecting from a 32-bit ArcGIS client, you must install 32-bit Teradata files. If you are connecting from a 64-bit ArcGIS client, you must install 64-bit Teradata files. See Setting up a connection to Teradata for more information.

Granting privileges

Users who connect to the database must be granted specific privileges. See User privileges for using ArcGIS with Teradata for these privileges.

Connecting to Teradata

To register a database with the server, you must provide connection information. There are two ways you can do this:

No matter which way you choose, you must provide the following information to connect directly to Teradata:

See Database connections in ArcGIS for Desktop for more information and an example.

Registering the database with ArcGIS Server

You can register the database from Server Manager or the Catalog tree in ArcGIS for Desktop. See the following topics for an explanation of registration options and how to register the database:
