Purpose

The create_job command creates a job based on the values you specify for parameters in the command line or in the XML file. Parameter values you enter in the command line supersede any value you enter for those parameters in the parameters XML file.

Syntax

create_job [ -file File | parameters]

Example

dsc create_job -n job1 -f parameters.xml

Parameters

n|name Name
The name of the job on which to perform the action. Must be unique for each job.
Example: job1
f|file filename
The full file path and file name of the file containing the necessary parameters to create the job. If the same parameters are provided both in the file and on the command line, Teradata DSA uses the values specified in the command line.
Example: parameters.xml
d|description Description
A meaningful description of the job. To allow a multiword description, add \" before and after the description string.
Example: \"backup web apps\"
t|type Type
The type of job. Enter one of the following:
  • BACKUP
  • RESTORE
  • ANALYZE_READ
  • ANALYZE_VALIDATE
Example: RESTORE
b|backup_name BackupName
[Optional] An existing backup job name. For restore, analyze_read, and analyze_validate jobs only.
Example: backupWeb1
u|user_authentication User
Required when security management is enabled. Supplies the command with the Viewpoint user, and triggers a password prompt for authentication.

Permissions required: User role

v|backup_version BackupVersion
[Optional] Backup version number to be replicated to or from third party storage. This number is visible in the backup filename (bar_123456789.out)

If you specify next_incremental_restore, do not specify a backup version number.

Example: 2

Usage Notes

A DBC only backup job cannot be run as online.

To get the backup version of a save set, use the list_save_sets command.

Set the skip_archive parameter to true to have the job continue to run if a table is non-existant; for example, access rights for objects are missing or a table specifically listed in a job file is missing (for example, dropped). By setting the parameter to true, the job skips the missing table and continues processing the remaining tables. The default value for skip_archive is false. The default value for existing jobs should be false and can be set during the upgrade procedure.

In a restore job, the parent_name parameter uses the backup job name when exporting the XML.

In a restore job, the map_to parameter is used to map one database to a new database or to map a table level object under multiple databases to a new database. Job creation fails under the following circumstances:
  • Multiple databases map to same database
  • Same table level object name under different databases maps to the same database
  • Database A is mapped to newA, and table level object x under database B is mapped to newA.x
If you have defined map_to, rename_to, or config_map_name for table level objects, this affects the results of a database level restore job definition.
  • If database is selected and includeAll attribute, map_to, or config_map_name is not set at the database level, the DSC expands objects under the database and treats the restore job as table level restore.
  • If database is selected and includeAll attribute, map_to, or config_map_name is set at the database level, the table level definitions are ignored, and the DSC treats the restore job as database level restore.

In a backup, restore, or analyze_validate job, use the streams_softlimit job option to override the system level streams soft limit. Range is 1- max soft limit of the stream soft limit, where max is the number of AMPs per node in the system. For more information about optimal settings, see Values for XML Elements.

In a backup or restore job, use the skip_joinhash_index job option to skip archiving the join and hash index during a backup job or to skip the join index restore during a restore job.

For an incremental restore backup job, use the enable_backup_for_IR job option to create the backup job for incremental restore. This can only be set during create_job. Once the job is created, it cannot be set for incremental restore.
