Using Application Programming Reference

Teradata Vantage™ - Application Programming Reference describes application programming interfaces (APIs), including Workload Management APIs and Automated Statistics Management APIs.

Why Would I Use this Content?

Use the information in this document to learn how to use the APIs to interface with your own custom applications when other tools or client applications do not provide the information you need.
  • Workload Management API

    Workload management APIs can be used for creating third-party applications and custom applications requiring the acquisition and use of Teradata workload management and performance data.

    Note that the workload management PM/APIs described in this document use monitor software versions 11 and earlier (see MONITOR VERSION for details). These PM/APIs allow you to create new applications and enhance existing custom applications.

  • Automated Statistics Management API

    The Automated Statistics Management open APIs can be issued from the Teradata Viewpoint Stats Manager portlet or directly from within customer applications. They can be used to accurately identify unused or out of date statistics, cardinality estimation errors, and override SQL COLLECT STATISTICS statement settings in certain well-defined scenarios.

How Do I Use this Content?

Use this guide as a reference document to learn about APIs and the requirements for using them.

How Do I Get Started?

Become familiar with the different types of APIs and the requirements for using them. Determine what meets your needs and go to the related content.

References to Other Relevant Content

If your custom application uses an earlier monitor version, depending on the version used, see previous releases of this document: Workload Management API: PM/API and Open API or Application Programming Reference: Workload Management.
