The NOTIFY command specifies a user exit or predefined action to be performed whenever certain significant events occur during a Teradata FastLoad job. (For a listing of events that cause notifications, see the "Events that Create Notifications" table in Syntax.)

The notify function is especially useful in operator-free environments where job scheduling relies heavily on automation to optimize system performance. For example, by writing an exit in C (without using CLIv2) and using the NOTIFY… EXIT option, a routine to detect whether a Teradata FastLoad job succeeds or fails, how many records were loaded, what the return code was for a failed job, and so on can be provided.

The Teradata FastLoad NOTIFY command applies only to the job that immediately follows it.
