Teradata Parallel Data Pump

Chapter 5: Using INMOD and Notify Exit Routines
Overview
Notify Exit Routines
A notify exit routine specifies a predefined action to be performed whenever certain
significant events occur during a Teradata TPump job.
Notify exit routines are especially useful in an operator-free environment where job
scheduling relies heavily on automation to optimize system performance.
For example, by writing an exit routine in C (without using CLIv2) and using the NOTIFY . . .
EXIT option of the BEGIN LOAD command, a routine can be provided to detect whether a
Teradata TPump job succeeds or fails, how many records were loaded, what the return code
was for a failed job, and so on.
Programming Languages
Teradata TPump is written in:
• IBM C for channel-attached z/OS client systems
• C for network-attached UNIX and Windows client systems
INMOD and notify exit routines can be written in the programming languages listed in
Table 31. They are dependent on the platform which runs Teradata TPump:
