To install from a local Teradata Profiler Plug-in for Eclipse Update Site, download the zip file locally. Refer to the User Guide for further instructions on installing Teradata Profiler Plug-in for Eclipse.
For installation in Teradata Studio or Teradata Studio Express, you will need the ProfilerPluginForEclipse.zip file. Extract the files and simply copy the PluginProfiler_15.0.0.201410271102.jar from the "Profiler Local Install\plugins" folder and paste into the Teradata Studio or Teradata Studio Express "plugins" directory (ususally found under c:\Program Files\Teradata\Client\15.00). Note, with Teradata Studio Express the Profiler windows will all display in the bottom panel (next to the SQL History). This is because the Teradata Studio Express does not have a perspective that Profiler can open its windows in. If desired, you may drag the Profiler windows to other locations within Studio Express for better viewing.
Teradata Profiler Plug-in for Eclipse contains open source components. The zip file contains the source code (as required) and licenses for these components. This package does not contain proprietary Teradata source code.
