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?
- 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 They can be used to accurately identify unused or out of date statistics, cardinality estimation errors, and override SQL COLLECT STATISTICS statement settings in certain well-defined scenarios.
