The Teradata Gateway - Teradata Database

The gateway software is the interface between the network and Teradata Database. It runs on the Teradata Database server as a separate operating system task. Client sessions that communicate through the gateway to Teradata Database are installed and running on workstations.

In contrast, sessions originating from a mainframe-attached system access Teradata Database through mainframe connections and TDP software and bypass the gateway completely.

The following table describes tools available to administer your gateway.

Tool	Name	Function
Gateway Control utility	gtwcontrol	Recommended for use only by Teradata field support engineers to. Determine the format of some user names Configure security features. Control gateway resource usage. Investigate gateway problems For details, see Security Administration.
Gateway Global utility	gtwglobal	Monitor network sessions and traffic Disable logons Force off a rogue session Investigate gateway problems
Data Dictionary table	DBC.EventLog	The table logs entries for logon and logoff events found by session control, including logon failures detected external to session control (such as when the Gateway receives an authentication failure).
