Teradata Service not starting - response (10) by Rajesh.Prabhu

Original thread spawn and deviation question.
Try Quick check on TERADATA Service.
on Unix:
Check Terdata service
$ pdestate -a                  /* if it is (PDE state: DOWN/HARDSTOP) */
Start Terdata service on Unix/Linux
$ /etc/init.d/tpa start

or on windows->
c:\> net start recond
You can manually start the service in Windows Services (Teradata Database Initiator) and start the TERADATA service.
Again check the status using
$ pdestate -a  /* It should be Started */

If service is still not started then either your services are disabled check Windows even viewer Log for addiotional information.
