During the installation of Data Mover, the Data Mover REST component is installed and started automatically. You need to configure the tdmrest.properties file for your environment and restart the service.

Data Mover REST and DSA REST, which is bundled with Data Mover, have HTTPS enabled by default allowing you to make REST calls over HTTPS. If you try to use HTTP for a Data Mover REST job after a fresh installation or upgrade of Data Mover, the job is redirected to HTTPS.

  1. In the directory /etc/opt/teradata/datamover, locate tdmrest.properties.
  2. Configure the following properties:
    Property Description Default Value
    accept.host.list If requests to the Data Mover REST API need to use different values compared to the default for the host header or X-Forwarded-Host, specify those values here. Leave localhost:1443 as the first value unless you do not want to allow calls to Data Mover REST API to use localhost:1443 as in the following example:

    accept.host.list=localhost:1443, host1:port, host2

    server name:1443 or server IP:1443
    appender.rolling.fileName The relative or absolute path of the log file. /var/opt/teradata/datamover/logs/dmRest.log
    appender.rolling.filePattern

    Specifies logfiles pattern.

    Example: dmRest.log.%i saves the files as dmRest.log.1, dmRest.log.2, dmRest.log.3, and so on.

    /var/opt/teradata/datamover/logs/dmRest.log.%i
    appender.rolling.layout.type Do not edit. This is an internal setting for logging infrastructure. PatternLayout
    appender.rolling.layout.pattern Do not edit. This is an internal setting for logging infrastructure. %d [%t] %-5p %c{3}(%L) - %m%ns
    appender.rolling.name Do not edit. This is an internal setting for logging infrastructure. RollingFile
    appender.rolling.policies.size.type Do not edit. This is an internal setting for logging infrastructure. SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
    appender.rolling.policies.size.size The maximum size of the logging file before being rolled over to backup files. 20MB
    appender.rolling.policies.type Do not edit. This is an internal setting for logging infrastructure. Policies
    appender.rolling.strategy.max

    The number of backup logging files that are created. After the maximum number of files have been created, the oldest file is deleted.

    Example: If maximum backups = 3, three backup logs are created:
    • dmRest.log.1
    • dmRest.log.2
    • dmRest.log.3

    If the current dmRest.log size exceeds 20MB, it rolls to become the new dmRest.log.1 and a new dmRest.log is created. The previous dmRest.log.2 becomes the new dmRest.log.3. The previous dmRest.log.3 is deleted.

  3. Restart the Data Mover REST service:
