Workload management is the act of managing Vantage workload performance by monitoring system activity and acting when pre-defined limits are reached. Workload management uses rules, and each rule applies only to some database requests. However, the collection of all rules applies to all active work on the platform.
Users can employ Teradata Workload Management as a performance tool to direct how Vantage accomplishes expectations.
Teradata Workload Management offers two different strategies. See your Teradata representative for details about the license required for each strategy.
- Teradata Active System Management (TASM)
- TASM performs full workload management.
- Teradata Integrated Workload Management (TIWM)
- TIWM provides basic workload management capabilities to customers without full TASM. TIWM offers a subset of TASM.
While this document touches upon TIWM, it focuses primarily on TASM. For more information on the differences between TASM and TIWM, see A Comparison of TASM and TIWM Features.
