Mload upsert - 6705 - SAP BW as source
Greetings Experts,
We use Informatica to load data from SAP BW to Teradata staging layer and could see a job not dropping the ET table (some records exist with error code 6705) during Mload operation (upsert) and succeeds. During the next run of the job, it fails in its first phase of Mload as it couldn't create the ET table which already exists.
How to identify the source records (for which we don't have access to) that have violated and landed into ET table? (The source data is landed into Informatica server through the flat file, data is kept in pipe in Informatica which is deleted once the job is completed)
If Teradata has database_link like Oracle, we could have accessed the source data of SAP BW right from Teradata and could have troubleshooted the issue. Can you explain why Teradata implicitly doesn't support db link (I guess). I have gone through the following link and couldn't find a implicit db_link support (for external source systems like SAP, oracle,...) rather than through external tools.
http://forums.teradata.com/forum/database/teradata-dblink
One option is to find all the distinct values on the column which is recorded in ET table of Teradata from the source SAP BW system and identify the records missing in source which may be a tedious task or
use a flat file in Informatica rather than pipe so that we could read the file.
Are there any provision to find the missing records right from Teradata?

TQS only schedules queries if submitted by TDWM
I just upgraded to 14.10 software from 13.10. Some parameter has been changed, all jobs were working fine.
Now any user except TDWM will get bad user account or password error.
All profiles are set the same as before. What am I forgetting?

Error while loading data from teradata to SQL Server - TPT registry key cannot be opened
Hi all,
I am building an SSIS package in SQL Server BIDS 2008 version to pull data from Teradata and dump to SQL Server.
1. I am able to connect to Teradata sucessfully as Source.
2. Connection to SQL Server as Destination is also good.
2. When I am running the package I am getting the error
********* ERROR *******

then why it is looking for TPT API 12.0 or 13.0 Edition 2 (13.0.0.2)
How to solve this issue.
Please help.

Standard File Extensions for Teradata Tools Scripts
Is there any standard File Extension recommended by Teradata for its tool Scripts like bteq, fastexport, fastload, mload, tpump, tpt, JobVariables?
any suggestion for better naming standard for different scripts that distinguishes itself from other?
Also, I am finding most of the sample scripts in Teradata Documentation are in .txt files and of course all scripts are plain-text,, So, is that a standard to use .txt for all TD scripts?

query scheduler
Does the query scheduler tool allow you to check table status before running, or only set a specific time for a query to run? E.g. set up so that a query will only run once table xyz has been updated instead of running at a specified hardcoded time each day.

TPT API, TimeStamp(0)
Hi:
I am trying to use TPT API to import data into Teradata. From other forum posts, Date is 4 Bytes and can be represented as "date = (Year - 1900) * 10000 + Month * 100 + Day".
For TimeStamp, I cannot find anything in the sample code or forum about it. How to store timestamp with 0 precision in a byte array and write the buffer into Teradata using TPT API?
Thanks,

When are secondary indexes required?
Hi All,
I understand that a Secondary Index is a 2-AMP or an all-AMP operation, and also the subtable that is created and its contents.
However, I am not sure in what scenarios should a secondary index (unique or non-unique) be defined.
I would really appreciate some help here.
Thanks,

TPT Template operators with LDAP authentication
I have coded a simple TPT script using operator templates ($EXPORT, $INSERT and $LOAD) to copy data of Table A from TDSERVER-A to TDSERVER-B. TDSERVER-A and TDSERVER-B use LDAP based authentication. TPT (TBUILD) raises errors when I run the script either by initializing LogonMech, UserName, UserPassword variables for Source/Target operators in JobVars file or when I run the script by overriding the mentioned variables using ATTR option inline in the TPT script. The error messages I noticed are given below. The strange thing is I was able to run the same script in a different TD env that does not use LDAP based authentication. Did anyone experience similar issue ? Are there any tweaks that should be done in the TPT script to use operator templates successfully with LDAP authentication? Any input is appreciated.

Variant records and TPT
I have a file with fixed-length records, but they need to be interpreted in various ways, depending on first field (let's call it RECORD_TYPE). We currently do it easily with Multiload:
.LAYOUT usage_record_layout; .FIELD RECORD_TYPE 1 CHAR(5); /* First variant */ .FIELD variant1_field1 6 CHAR(15); .FIELD variant1_field2 * CHAR(15); /* Second variant */ .FIELD variant2_field1 6 CHAR(10); .FIELD variant2_field2 * CHAR(12); .FIELD variant2_field3 * CHAR(8); /* (......) */ .IMPORT INFILE file_name FORMAT TEXT LAYOUT usage_record_layout APPLY DML_for_variant1 WHERE RECORD_TYPE='TYPE1' APPLY DML_for_variant2 WHERE RECORD_TYPE='TYPE2';
Can something similar be done with TPT?
I can't find a way - other than multiple passes through the file, which is unacceptable.
Data connector producer may have only one schema and the schema is just a collection of fields, it's not possible to create variant records (you can't specify offset or starting position of field).
Is it a case where Multiload cannot be replaced with TPT?

Jacek

BTET/ANSI Transaction in TPT/FASTLOAD
Hi All,
I am having one problem.
I know BTET transaction is "all or none". If I submit a multistatement transaction and any one statemetn fails then entire transaction will roll back in BTET mode. However in ANSI mode if I use COMMIT then only the failed statements will roll back while the others will commit.
Also I know TPT runs in Teradata mode, as it is defined in DBSControl. I guess FastLoad also runs the same.
Now, I was running a TPT job (using Load operator) through informatica. In the source file there was a 'NULL' data at one column position and that column was defined as NOT NULL in DDL. My expectation was the entire transaction will fail. But only the affected records were excluded with error written in _ET table, rest were committed in target table.
Then I tried to load the same source file using FASTLOAD with CHECKPOINT 10 and received same result. Only the affected records were excluded with error in ET, rest were committed.
Why am I receiving this result? What is the logic behind this?
Does this have any relation with the fact that FLOAD/TPT LOAD happens with 64K block?
Please let me know your replies.
Thanking You

Delimiter Issue With TPT on Linux Platform
We are experiencing a delimiter issue with TPT on Linux. The same script works fine on AIX.
The problem shows itself as incorrect data in the selection of CURRENT_DATE and also in incorrect data in a character field.
There are delimiters that can be used and yield correct data, but these delimeters do not solve our problem because they are 2 character delimiters(^^) and we have downstream systems that cannot use them.
Is this a known TPT issue? Can anyone suggest solutions?

TPT Error - Not able to get rows having incorrect format
Hi TPT Users,
I see there's some issue with the datafile that I have been trying to load.
I keep getting exit status 8 and exit status 12 whenever trying to load full file.
If I just try to load 1 rec from that datafile it is getting loaded.So I believe somewhere there is issue with the data that I have received in one of the record.
Now I am trying to find out that bad record.
I am using below variables
VARCHAR RecordErrorFilePrefix='tablename_err.dat',
VARCHAR RecordErrorVerbosity ='Med',
But the logfile says
WARNING! Definition of attribute RecordErrorFilePrefix ignored
WARNING! Definition of attribute RecordErrorVerbosity ignored
Any Idea Why ? All I am trying to achieve is to find the record with bad record format.
Please suggest !

Cpu skew of Fastload
Hi all,
We use fastload utility and we recognized that the cpu skew of Fastload utility is generally so high like around 99%. When the fastload finishes its work, we make sure that the data of the loaded table is well distributed over amps. So, why the cpu skew of the fastload is so high although the data of the loaded table is equally distributed over amps?
Thanks.

Unable to update a row that contains a blank/null value in an indexed column.
Hello,
I have a table with a primary index made up of two columns, let's say colA and colB. It is possible for colA to have blank/null values, colB is always populated. Using mload, when I execute the upsert step of the tpt script, the records with a non-blank value in both colA and colB are updated successfully. The records with a blank in colA are treated as an insert and are duplicated on my table. In this case, the records already exist in the table and I am trying to apply updates.
I defined the table as SET since it is not supposed to allow duplicates. The source is a staging table which I first populate from a flat file. I am new to Teradata so it is possible I don't have this set up correctly, but I have run out of ideas. Has anyone encountered this problem also? If I have not provided enough information, please let me know.
Thank you,
Jim
