Preface

Supported Software Release

This book supports Teradata RDBMS V2R5.0.

Changes to This Book

This book, Teradata RDBMS Utilities, consists of three volumes:

Volume 1 includes utilities A-F. Volume 2 includes utilities G-S. Volume 3 includes utilities T-Z.

Some utilities are platform specific. Those are identified as either NCR UNIX MP-RAS Only or Microsoft Windows 2000 Only. If a utility runs on both platforms, no differentiation appears.

This volume includes the following changes to support the current release:

Date Utility Description

December 2002 Gateway Control

On Windows 2000, the valid range for fLogfilesize is 1000 through 2147483647.

On Windows 2000, the default for sSessions is 600. The valid range is 0 through 21474836347.

If you change the maximum sessions per node, the following occurs: On Windows 2000, the limit is effective immediately. On UNIX MP-RAS, the limit is effective immediately or after a tpareset,

depending on the size of the limit at the last tpareset.

Locking Logger In the "Producing a Lock Log Report" example, a locking modifier is added.

A Messages section is added.

A new session number added to the BLKINGSESSNO column in the Lock Log Report: 3 - Archive/Restore

*63127 - The CREATE TABLE statement examples have been changed to reflect the following:

column begdatetime has a format of 'zzz,zzz,zzz,zzz.zzz' instead of 'zzz,zzz,zzz,zzz.zz9'.

column logondatetime to have a format of 'z,zzz,zzz,zzz,zzz.zzz' instead of 'z,zzz,zzz,zzz,zzz.zz9'.

modmpplist An error in the WRITE command syntax diagram is corrected.

Preface

December 2002 (cont.)

pdeconfig This chapter is completely redesigned, including the following: Planning PDE configuration In-depth procedures and screens Example setup

The new command line feature has the following options: Moves AMP and or PE vprocs. Runs in non-PDE environment. Runs in Multimedia environment, such as for Prospector. Reconstructs the vconfig.out file from the VCONFIG GDO and

distributes the file to all nodes. Updates with current information from mpplist file.

EMC disk arrays are supported.

You must start pdeconfig on the PDN node of the existing system. If you run pdeconfig on any new nodes, you could lose all user data on the existing system.

Priority Scheduler

The new Priority Scheduler Simulator (PSS), a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, allows you to generate what-if situations with different priority attributes. PSS allows you to emulate Priority Scheduler weighting configurations to determine expected relative weights for various activity situations.

Performance Period milestone type Resource Usage is broken into two components:

Session resource usage (S or R) milestone limits are specified in seconds and define an amount of session CPU resource consumption per node.

Query resource usage (Q) milestone limit is specified in seconds and define an amount of query CPU resource consumption per node.

In schmon -m and -M command displays, the % Use column is replaced with % Avg CPU and % Avg I/O columns:

The CPU data is shown in two columns: % and msec. The I/O data is shown in two columns: % and sblks.

The following options are added to the schmon -a command: -s displays Priority Scheduler data for all sessions controlled by the

allocation group on the current node. -S displays Priority Scheduler data for all sessions controlled by the

allocation group on all nodes of the system. X means that the allocation group is expected to process expedited

work.


Teradata RDBMS Utilities - G-Sii

Preface


Priority Scheduler (cont.)

The following options are added to the schmon -b command: -s displays Priority Scheduler data for all sessions controlled by the

resource partition on the current node. -S displays Priority Scheduler data for all sessions controlled by the

resource partition on all nodes of the system. Limit is a percentage weight limit on total CPU usage by all processes

controlled by a resource partition.

The new -f command reads schmon commands from a file or standard input device.

The new -l command sets the system CPU usage limit.

The following options are added to the schmon -p command: -s displays Priority Scheduler data for all sessions controlled by the

performance group on the current node. -S displays Priority Scheduler data for all sessions controlled by the

performance group on all nodes of the system.

The new -s command displays information about each session or request that is active on the node where you invoked the command as well as Priority Scheduler data for the specified sessions from the current node or all nodes in the system.

The new -w command sets or displays the number of processes available on each vproc for use by work requests assigned to allocation groups having the Expedite attribute.

Query Session You can exit Query Session by entering the quit; command.

Query Session reports the index analysis state pertaining to the Teradata Index Wizard. If a workload is being analyzed for indexes, session state information is displayed.

Reconfiguration The following options are added to the RECONFIG command: DISPLAY enables or disables output of Reconfiguration status. n TASKS limits the number of Reconfiguration sessions running in

parallel. PRIORITY p is the priority string determined by Priority Scheduler. STATISTICS enables or disables output of Reconfiguration statistics.

The new STATUS command allows you to determine the status of Reconfiguration at any time.

Sample output for RECONFIG and STATUS commands is added.

Resource Check Tools

The following changes are made to options of the nodecheck command:

-D displays threshold values for -nodeonly and -timercontrol tunables in syscheckrc format.

-f log overrides the default log file location as specified in the -L option. -I lists threshold values for -nodeonly and -timercontrol tunables. -L logs the output to a file in the /tpi-data directory on the node where

nodecheck is run. -r rscfile specifies an additional syscheckrc file to be read and processed

that will override the values processed in the default syscheckrc file. -s is removed. -t directs nodecheck to read node-level resource data from a previously

created log file.

The following new sections are added to nodecheck: Creating a Log File Messages

The following changes are made to options of the syscheck command: -D displays threshold values for -nodeonly and -timercontrol tunables

in syscheckrc format. -f log overrides the default log file location as specified in the -L option. -I lists threshold values for -nodeonly and -timercontrol tunables. -L logs the output to a file in the /tpi-data directory on the node where

nodecheck is run. -r rscfile specifies an additional syscheckrc file to be read and processed

that will override the values processed in the default syscheckrc file. -t n directs nodecheck to read node-level resource data from a

previously created log file (with a default name) on each node. -t logfilename is removed. -v displays all the resource values for each node, evaluates the resource

values, and notifies you of the status of all tunable resources, regardless of level.

Chapter 1:

Gateway Control Utility

The Gateway Control Utility is a tool that you use to modify default values in the fields of the gateway control Globally Distributed Object (GDO).

For Teradata RDBMS for NCR UNIX MP-RAS and Teradata RDBMS 2.0.1 for Windows NT, gateways are limited to one per node.

For Teradata RDBMS 3.0.1 for Microsoft Windows NT, multiple gateways per node are supported, as long as the gateways belong to different host groups and have different IP addresses to listen on.

Each gateway can support up to 1200 sessions, depending on available system resources and the number of allotted Parser Engines (PEs).

Audience

Users of Gateway Control include the following:

System engineers

Users should be familiar with the configuration of the Teradata RDBMS and performance of the gateway.

Chapter 1: Gateway Control UtilityGateway Log Files

Gateway Log Files

Function

The gateway log files include the assign and connect files. On Windows 2000, the assign and connect files are combined into a single file. The default location for these files is /tmp for the UNIX MP-RAS PDE. The default location for these files for Teradata for Windows 2000 is the temporary directory you specified for PDE at installation time. These log files are represented by the following format:

UNIX MP-RAS Syntax

TNT 2.0.1 Syntaxgtwyyyymmddhhmmss.log

Chapter 1: Gateway Control UtilityInputting Gateway Control Options

Inputting Gateway Control Options

Gateway Control options are case sensitive and must include a dash before the option letters when using either the UNIX MP-RAS or Windows 2000 operating system.

The following example gives the syntax for the help option that you use to list the syntax for all gateway control options.

gtwcontrol -h

When a gateway option requires a field value, that option includes a field name where you define the value.

For example, to select the host group number 1 on which to perform an action, you would use the option gHostnumber as shown in the example below:

gtwcontrol -g1

where the Hostnumber for the option is 1.

You can combine options by entering them, separated by a space. Using the above example, you can set the maximum number of sessions for host group 1 to 600 by entering the following command:

gtwcontrol -g1 -s600


Chapter 1: Gateway Control UtilityGateway Control Options

Gateway Control Options

The following table describes these options:

Gateway Control options that run only on Teradata RDBMS for Windows 2000.

gtwcontrol control options that run only on Teradata RDBMS for UNIX MP-RAS

Gateway Control options that run on both Teradata RDBMS for Windows 2000 and UNIX MP-RAS.

Option DescriptionWindows 2000/UNIX MP-

RAS

aSSO Enables or disables permission of single sign on by a host group. You can set each value individually on each host group. The setting are as follows:

On or ON allows single sign on if the RDBMS allows single sign on.

Off or OFF does not allow single sign on even if the RDBMS allows single sign on.

Only or ONLY allows only single sign on only if the RDBMS allows only single sign on.

Note: By default, the gateway single sign on option defaults to off when V4.1 of the gateway software is installed. If you set the RDBMS setting to Only or Off, that setting overrides the gateway setting.

Windows 2000

d Displays current GDO. Both

eEventcnt Specifies the number of event trace entries. Both

fLogfilesize Specifies the maximum log file size.

On Windows 2000, the valid range is 1000 through 2147483647.

The default is 5000000.

Both

gHostnumber Selects the host group.

When you do not specify this option in combination with another option, all hosts are selected.

Both

h Displays gtwcontrol options. Both



iInitialIothreads Initially starts up the number of threads specified by this option for the processing of LAN messages.

Two types of threads exist:

One handles traffic from the client (that is, TCP/IP connections).

One handles traffic from the database (that is, the PDE msgsystem).

The default is 5.

Windows 2000

lLogonname For remote gateway global access. (Not implemented in V2R4.1.)

Windows 2000

mMaximumIothreads Specifies maximum number of threads per type.




The default is 50.

Windows 2000

pPathname Specifies path to gateway log files. UNIX MP-RAS

rIoThreadCheck Determines the frequency in minutes that the gateway checks to see if all the threads are busy.

If they are all busy, a new thread of the appropriate type is started.

If more than one thread has not run during the rIoThreadCheck period, the gateway stops a thread.




The default is 10 minutes.

Windows 2000

sSessions Specifies maximum sessions for host group.

Limited to system resources.

UNIX MP-RAS

Specifies maximum sessions per vproc.

The valid range is 0 through 2147483647.

The default is 600.

Note: NCR recommends that you do not set the session number to 0 because you will be unable to logon.

Windows 2000


RAS



tTimeoutvalue Determines how long a disconnected session has to reconnect. If the client has not reconnected within the specified time period, the client is logged off automatically.

Note: During this time period, the session still counts against the number of sessions allocated to a PE.

The default is 20 minutes.

Both

vVprocnumber Selects a vproc.

When this option is not specified, all vprocs are selected.

Both

A Toggles assign tracing. Both

C Toggles connect wait.

Unnecessary for Windows 2000 because there is an assign task that runs as part of the connect task. Therefore, the W option is sufficient for both.

UNIX MP-RAS

Toggles connection tracing. Windows 2000

D Toggles no gtwdie. Both

E Toggles event trace. Windows 2000

F Toggles fast logon.

Toggling fast logon for Windows 2000 is unnecessary because fast logon is always enabled.

UNIX MP-RAS

Toggles append domain names on single sign on logon. Windows 2000

H Toggles connect heap trace. Both

I Toggles interactive mode. Windows 2000

J Toggles log LAN errors.

Logs any LAN-related errors even when properly handled by the gateway.

Windows 2000

K Toggles session ctx lock trace.

This option shows the session locking to make the session context multiprocessor safe.

Windows 2000

L Toggles enable logons. Both

M Toggles message tracing. Both

O Toggles output LAN header on errors.

Causes an error message to be written to the gateway log file.

Windows 2000

P Toggles assign heap trace. Both


RAS



Caution: The following options are only useful for debugging gateway problems and, in general, should not be specified: lGtwGlobal logon name, A, C, D, E, F, H, I, J, K, L, M, O, P, R, S, T, W, X, Y. Turning these options on results in slower gateway performance and in a potentially large amount of disk space consumption by the gateway control log files. Options lGtwGlobal logon name, L, and Z are the only options not specifically related to debugging.

R Toggles xport log all.

By default, the Xport trace does not log every LAN operation. The xport log all options causes all LAN operations to be logged.

This option only takes effect if the Y trace is on.

Windows 2000

S Toggles assign wait. UNIX MP-RAS

Toggles the action log.

The E event trace does not log the actions.

The S option turns on the action trace. It only takes effect if the E trace is on.

Windows 2000

T Toggles connect trace. UNIX MP-RAS

Toggles allow gateway testing. Windows 2000

W Toggles connect and assign wait. UNIX MP-RAS

Toggles wait for debugger to attach. Windows 2000

X Toggles xport trace. Both

Y Toggles handle trace. Windows 2000

Z Resets GDO to defaults. Windows 2000


RAS


Chapter 1: Gateway Control UtilityChanging Maximum Sessions Per Node

Changing Maximum Sessions Per Node

If your site runs jobs that are CPU or I/O intensive, you might find that a lower session limit gives better performance. To view the current maximum sessions per node, type the following:

gtwcontrol -d

On Windows 2000, the valid range for maximum sessions is 0 through 2147483647. NCR recommends that you do not set the session number to 0 because you will be unable to logon. Also, you cannot set the maximum sessions to a negative number.

To set the maximum sessions to 1000, type the following:

gtwcontrol -g1 -s1000

where 1 is the number of the host group and 1000 is the maximum sessions you want.

On Windows 2000, the new limit is effective immediately.

On UNIX MP-RAS, the following table describes when the new limit takes effect.

gtwcontrol notifies you of the following:

Whether a tpareset is required for the new maximum session limit to become effective

The current maximum sessions limit and the new maximum sessions limit if you did not restart the Teradata RDBMS after a change.

If more sessions are active than the new maximum sessions limit allows, then no new sessions are started. No new sessions can log on until the number of sessions is below the maximum sessions limit.

IF the new maximum session limit is THEN the new limit takes effect

less than 600 or less than the limit at the last tpareset (whichever is bigger)

immediately.

more than 600 and more than the limit at the last tpareset

after the next tpareset.

The current maximum session limit will default to the value at the last tpareset.


Chapter 2:

Gateway Global Utility

The Gateway Global utility allows you to monitor and control the sessions of Teradata database LAN-connected users. The gateway software runs as a separate operating system task and is the interface between the network and the Teradata RDBMS.

Client programs that communicate through the gateway to the Teradata RDBMS may be resident on the system, or they may be installed and running on network-attached workstations. Client programs that run on a channel-attached host bypass the gateway completely.

For Teradata RDBMS for NCR UNIX MP-RAS and Teradata RDBMS 2.0.1 for Microsoft Windows NT, gateways are limited to one per node.

For Teradata RDBMS 3.0.1 for Windows NT, multiple gateways per node are supported, as long as the gateways belong to different host groups and have different IP addresses to listen on.

Each gateway can support up to 1200 sessions, depending on available system resources and the number of allotted Parsing Engines (PEs). At least one PE that can support up to 120 sessions is required for each logical network attachment.

Note: When all the PEs in the DBS configuration are offline, Gateway Global exits, and the following message appears:

xgtwglobal cannot proceed as no PEs are online.

When all of the PEs in some of the host groups in the DBS configuration are offline, then Gateway Global displays the following notice and continues to process information for the host groups with at least one PE online:

NOTICE: xgtwglobal cannot process all the host groups as all the PEs on one or more of the host groups are offline.

The number of sessions per gateway is defined using the gtwcontrol utility. For information on configuring gateway options, see Chapter 1: Gateway Control Utility.

For information about configuring the gateway, see platform-dependent Teradata RDBMS Installation/Migration/Upgrade documents.

Note: Gateway errors are handled in the same manner as other RDBMS errors.
