Unable to connect Teradata to Fast Data Masker

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

 

When we attemt to connect FDM to Teradata 16.20, I am getting a JDBC error.

We are using 4.8. Do I need to upgrade it to 4.9 to connect to Teradata?

Environment

Release : 4.8

Component : CA Test Data Manager

Resolution

Looking at the TDM 4.9 Installation Documentation to see if we require a specific release of the TeraData JDBC driver, I noticed that we do not support FDM masking for Teradata, which is also true for TDM 4.8.
