April 22, 2014 Comparison with existing Teradata stages The following list details comparisons with Teradata stages: • Limited support for stored procedures and macros, but the Stored Procedure plug-in is still better suited for it. • No more utilities, named pipes, control scripts, or report files. • Interface with the Parallel Transporter is through a direct call-level API. • Error messages are reported in the DataStage Director log. • MultiLoad plug-in jobs that use advanced custom script features cannot be migrated to use the Teradata Connector. Number of players is determined by the PX Engine config file.
April 22, 2014 Stages related to Teradata In Data Stage parallel jobs, the following stages can be used for reading from and writing to Teradata databases: Source Teradata stages · Teradata Enterprise · Teradata API Target Teradata stages · Teradata Enterprise · Teradata API · Teradata Multi Load (MultiLoad option) · Teradata Multi Load (TPump option) For maximum performance of high-volume data flows, the native parallel Teradata Enterprise stage must be used. Teradata Enterprise uses the programming interface of the Teradata utilities FastExport (reads) and FastLoad
April 21, 2014 Teradata TPUMP stage · TPump is a highly parallel utility designed to continuously move data from data sources into Teradata. · TPump is typically used for loading a small quantity of records in relation to the size of your target table. · TPump works at the row level, whereas MultiLoad and FastLoad update whole blocks of data. TPump allowing us to load data into tables with referential integrity which MultiLoad doesn’t. · TPump only needs to take row-level locks; in other words, TPump only places a lock upon the row it is modifying. In contrast, MultiLoad places locks on the entire table. If you need multiple processes updating a table simultaneously, TPump may be the better solution. · TPump also uses fewer system resources, so you can run it concurrently with user queries without impacting system performance. · TPump lets you control the rate at which updates are applied. You can dynamically “throttle down” when the system is busy and throttle up when activity is lighter. · TPump does not take a utility slot. · TPump is designed for “trickle feed” taking individual row-level locks. If you use TPUMP, you need to make sure that you follow normal TPUMP standards (Set the KEY statements equal to the PI and turn SERIALIZE on). · Tpump is typically for processes that are constantly retrieving and processing data, like from a message queue. · Using TPump offers a controllable transition to updating that is closer to real time. Best fit in “Active”, “real-time” or “closed-loop” data warehousing.
