Teradata Parallel Data Pump

Chapter 2: Using Teradata TPump
Restart and Recovery
If the database for the error table is not explicit in the script, the table is placed in the database
associated with the Teradata TPump user logon, unless the DATABASE command has been
issued.
Continuing the above example, assuming the user defaults the error table, then the create table
command for it will be:
CREATE SET TABLE M20020530_171209_06222_001_ET,
NO BEFORE JOURNAL,
NO AFTER JOURNAL
(
ImportSeq BYTEINT,
DMLSeq BYTEINT,
SMTSeq BYTEINT,
ApplySeq BYTEINT,
sourceseq INTEGER,
DataSeq BYTEINT,
ErrorCode INTEGER,
ErrorMsg VARCHAR(255) CHARACTER SET UNICODE NOT CASESPECIFIC,
ErrorField SMALLINT,
HostData VARBYTE(63677))
UNIQUE PRIMARY INDEX ( ImportSeq ,DMLSeq ,SMTSeq ,ApplySeq ,sourceseq ,
DataSeq );
Reinitialize a Teradata TPump Job
If the restart log table has been accidentally dropped or corrupted for a Teradata TPump job,
reinitialize the job using the following procedure:
Reinitialize a Teradata TPump Job
1 Determine how much of the job has completed in order to take data out of the Teradata
TPump input data set.
How this is done will depend on the table and procedures involved with table
maintenance. This will vary between jobs and with the procedures in effect at each
customer site.
2 Delete any database objects associated with the Teradata TPump job that may exist. This
cleans up Teradata TPump.
These objects include the error table and any DML-associated macros. Directions for
finding these objects are provided in the previous section.
Recover an Aborted Teradata TPump Job
An aborted Teradata TPump job is one that has been terminated early for any number of
reasons (out of database space, accidental cancellation by mainframe operators, UNIX kernel
panic, error limit in the Teradata TPump job exceeded, and so on) and all Teradata TPump
database objects, the restart log table, the error table, and DML macros are intact.
An aborted Teradata TPump job may be restarted using the same job script that was used in
the original job, and Teradata TPump will perform the recovery of the job.
