  • PTS00007: Pre-processing Data with an INMOD Routine Before Loading It into an Empty Teradata Database Table (FastLoad Protocol).
  • PTS00008: Pre-processing Data with an INMOD Routine Before Loading It into Teradata Database Tables (MultiLoad Protocol).

Rationale

The job uses:
  • The producer for this job can be either:
    • FastLoad INMOD Adapter operator because it is the only operator that can read data from an INMOD routine that was written for the FastLoad protocol.
    • MultiLoad INMOD Adapter operator because it is the only operator that can read data from an INMOD routine that was written for the MultiLoad protocol
  • The consumer operator for this job can be either:
    • The Load operator because it offers the best performance for high speed inserting of a large number of rows into empty database tables (FastLoad protocol).
    • The Update operator because it can perform INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations on up to 5 new or pre-existing database tables (MultiLoad protocol).
