File Requirements
Certain files are required for invoking Teradata TPump. In addition to the input data source,
Teradata TPump accesses four different data sets/files or input/output devices.
Table 11 lists Teradata TPump data sets/files and input/output devices:
Table 11: Data Sets, Files and Input/Output Devices
Data Set/File or Device
standard input
standard output
standard error
configuration
Provides
Teradata TPump commands and Teradata SQL statements that
make up a Teradata TPump job
Destination for Teradata TPump output responses and messages
Destination for Teradata TPump errors
Optional specification of Teradata TPump utility default values
When running Teradata TPump in interactive mode, the keyboard functions as the standard
input device and the display screen is the standard output/error device.
When running Teradata TPump in batch mode, specify a data set or file name for each of these
functions. The method of doing this varies, depending on the configuration of the client
system:
• On network-attached client systems, use the standard redirection mechanism (<
infilename and > outfilename) to specify the Teradata TPump files when the utility is
invoked.
• On channel-attached client systems, use standard z/OS JCL control statements (DD) to
allocate and create the Teradata TPump data sets or files before the utility is invoked.
IBM Mainframe Client-Based Systems
Start Teradata TPump with a RUN FILE command, with optional invocation parameters, such
as JCL PARM. These are interpreted as a string of Teradata TPump support environment
commands, separated by, and ending with, semicolons.
After invocation, the first two commands executed must be LOGON and LOGTABLE. These
commands are required and are permitted only once. Either can be supplied in the command
string invoking Teradata TPump, and the other (or both) can appear in the INPUT file, or in a
file called with the RUN FILE command. No commands can precede the LOGON,
LOGTABLE, or RUN FILE commands.
