When you configure Teradata Alerts to run a BTEQ script as an alert action, the process creates a logon session with the Teradata system, runs the script to completion, and ends the session. Teradata Alerts processes BTEQ scripts sequentially as shown in the following table.
| BTEQ Command | Description | Details | Executed |
|---|---|---|---|
| .LOGON. | Creates a logon session | Enters the TDPID, Account ID, Username and Password that you used when creating the BTEQ configuration Because you define login credentials in the Alert Setup portlet, make sure that BTEQ scripts do not contain the .LOGON. command.
