config_fabrics | Teradata DSA Commands - config_fabrics - BAR - Data Stream Architecture

Purpose

Beginning with DSA 16.10.01, the config_fabrics command defines the routing data path between TPA nodes and media servers using a parameter file. For best performance when using network fabric, make sure dsc.properties has validate.fabric=on.

Network fabric is not supported for repository backup and restore.

Syntax

config_fabrics -n|-name -f|-file FILE

Example

config_fabrics -f file1.xml

Parameters

n|name fabric_name

[Optional] Name of the fabric configuration.

f|file filename

The full path and name of the file containing the necessary configuration parameters.

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: Administrator role

Usage Notes

The target group must define at least one media server that belongs to the fabric.

If a fabric is defined, job submission skips the logical net mask and selects the existing fabric when defining job data paths.
