PDE first writes the data in a raw PDE dump and this information is saved (or can be saved) into either of the following formats:
- A table in the DBC.Crashdumps database
- Flat files (called stream files), which you can either move to another system or upload directly to the Teradata Support Center.
The CSP SAVE dump command requires two options: “source” and “target.”The default format for -source is “dump” (which is the PDE dump directory) and the default -target is “table” (the DBC.Crashdumps database).
For more information, see the CSP pdehelp. See Manually Saving Teradata Crashdumps to the Crashdumps Database for examples of the SAVE command. Also see Manually Saving Teradata Crashdumps to Stream Files.
