336 ML_CHECKPOINT= Data Set Option 4 Chapter 11ML_CHECKPOINT= Data Set OptionSpecifies the interval between checkpoint operations in minutes.Default value: none (see “Details”)Valid in: DATA and PROC steps (when creating and appending to DBMS tables usingSAS/ACCESS software)DBMS support: TeradataSyntaxML_CHECKPOINT=checkpoint-rateSyntax Descriptioncheckpoint-ratea numeric value that specifies the interval between checkpoint operations in minutes.DetailsTo specify this option, you must first set MULTILOAD=YES.If you do not specify a value for ML_CHECKPOINT=, the Teradata Multiload defaultof 15 applies. If ML_CHECKPOINT= is between 1 and 59 inclusive, checkpoints aretaken at the specified intervals, in minutes. If ML_CHECKPOINT= is greater than orequal to 60, a checkpoint occurs after a multiple of the specified rows are loaded.ML_CHECKPOINT= functions very similarly to CHECKPOINT in the nativeTeradata MultiLoad utility. However, it differs from DBCOMMIT=, which is disabledfor MultiLoad to prevent any conflict.See the Teradata documentation on the MultiLoad utility for more information aboutusing MultiLoad checkpoints.See AlsoFor more information about using checkpoints and restarting MultiLoad jobs, see the“MULTILOAD= Data Set Option” on page 342.“DBCOMMIT= LIBNAME Option” on page 120“DBCOMMIT= Data Set Option” on page 297“Using MultiLoad” on page 805ML_ERROR1= Data Set OptionSpecifies the name of a temporary table that MultiLoad uses to track errors that were generatedduring the acquisition phase of a bulk-load operation.Default value: noneValid in: DATA and PROC steps (when creating and appending to DBMS tables usingSAS/ACCESS software)
