The following options are available from the Tools (Alt-T) menu. For more option details, see the sections that follow.
  • Change Connection… — Use ODBC connection to select which system this session of TWM connects.
  • Connection Properties — Use Connection Properties to display and change connection, project and analysis properties.
  • Metadata Maintenance… — Use Metadata Maintenance to maintain the projects and analyses stored in the current metadata database.
  • Publish Maintenance… — If not using the Teradata Profiler product, use Published Models to maintain the analytic data sets and models stored in the current Publish Tables that pass information to the Teradata Model Manager application.
    The Teradata Profiler product does not include publishing related functions.
  • Advertise Maintenance… — Use Advertise Maintenance to maintain the output advertisements in the Advertise Output metadata tables in the current advertise database.
  • Metadata Creation — Use to set the metadata tables to be created either With Fallback or Without Fallback. See Installing Metadata for more information.

    The Teradata Profiler product does not include publishing related functions.
  • Advertise Tables Creation — The Advertise Output metadata tables can be created either With Fallback or Without Fallback. When either of these options is selected, the metadata tables, views and macros for advertising output are created in the Advertise Database, as specified on Connection Properties (replacing any previous tables, views, and macros with the same names that might already exist there). An additional option to Replace Views and Macros Only is offered to replace just the views and macros without affecting the underlying metadata tables.
  • ODBC Administrator… — Use the ODBC Administrator to add, delete, or modify ODBC data sources.
  • View Logs — Sub-menu items to View Error Log, View Execution Log, or View Info Log are offered. The Error Log, Execution Log, and Info Log can be requested to help provide support for the product if the information is not considered sensitive.
    • The Error Log contains information about errors that occurred during execution, including SQL errors. Information logged to the Error Log typically includes the SQL that failed, if appropriate, and information about the parameters in effect for the analysis that failed, if appropriate (that is, the same information logged by selecting Project > Log Analysis Info or by right-clicking on an analysis in the Project window and selecting the same option).
    • The Execution Log includes all messages generated by TWM analyses that are displayed in the Execution Status area. Each entry includes the name of the Analysis, Status, and Message.
    • The Info Log includes information about the last three times the application was run, including the versions of various supporting software components and the options used in ODBC connections.
  • Delete Logs — Sub-menu items to Delete Error Log, Delete Execution Log, or Delete Info Log are offered. The Error Log accumulates error messages until deleted, as does the Execution Log. The Info Log keeps information about only the last three executions of the product, so is limited in its growth.
  • Preferences — Use the Preferences screens as described in detail below.
