This option is valid only when usingthe TPT API.When loading data to Teradata using Teradata PT API, diagnostic messages can bewritten to an external log file. If no name is specified for the log file and tracing isrequested, then a default name is generated using the name of the driver and atimestamp. If a name is specified using TPT_TRACE_OUTPUT, then that file will beused for trace messages. If the file already exists, it is overwritten.
