| From: | | McCall, Glenn David |
| | We don't have server access in our environment, we only work throughh SQL Assistant, Administrator, TD Manager and Viewpoint. | |
| | In that case, can you tell me how to know the IP address of my Teradata environment as we only use the hostnames (alias names) to login to
the above tools. | |
| | I cannot try nslookup abc.xyz.net as I don't have any server at my side. | |
Not sure I follow your question. Nslookup basically looks up the same server that the ODBC connection will use to translate your host name to
an IP Address. Except that nslookup doesn't seem to look at the hosts file.
So assuming I understand your question, you could try looking in your hosts file and extract the IP address from there.
Another possibility is you could simply try pinging the host name. Most ping programs display the target IP address.
Of course the big question is why would you want to know the IP address rather than use the host name. It is possible that if you answer that
question along with what you have tried so far that you might get the information you actually need.
