  • Server Management Client: Monitor status, display events, and perform commands from a single operational view of the system.
  • Command Line Interface: Download remote command line interface utilities
  • Save and Restore: Download, upload, and view configuration files
  • Users and Groups: Manage user and group security levels
  • Network, Devices, and CMICs: Configure the server management network and device management
  • External Connections: Configure settings for communication to the Service Workstation (TVI connection) and the Viewpoint server (Teradata Alerts)

For use by customer on-site staff members, Teradata Services Analysts in the Global Support Center (GSC), and Teradata Customer Service Representatives.

SMWeb and Teradata ServiceConnect are required for Teradata systems. Teradata Appliance for Hadoop 5 platform requires SMWeb 11.06.01 or later for HDP 2.3 or later, and SMWeb 11.06.02 or later for CDH 5.4 or later.

For information about using SMWeb Services, see the Teradata Server Management Web Services User Guide, or the online help on the SMWeb Services home page.
