This document is typically used by the system and application programmers, system administrators and the database administrators and relational database developers.

This document provides information on the significant aspects of TDP operation. To get a thorough understanding of the operational impact of TDP, users must go through the document. This document also describes various features of TDP including:

How Would I Use this Content?

Apart from the system administrators and database administrators, the content is intended for the operators who manage the database and system programmers who create the TDPPARM data set.
