The Teradata utilities can provide the following attributes to Access Modules. CHARSET_NAME and CHARSET_NUMBER, for example, are part of the session character set that is passed by pmAPutAttr() from the client utility to an Access Module.
Name of Attribute | Provided by | Attribute Value |
---|---|---|
BYTE_ORDER | FastExport, FastLoad, MultiLoad, and TPump job scripts | Allows explicit ordering of the byte sequences that are unique to character sets found at the beginning of a file. This attribute allows you to explicitly define the byte order for a specific platform. Attribute values are LITTLE_ENDIAN or BIG_ENDIAN. |
CHARSET_NAME | FastExport, FastLoad, MultiLoad, and TPump job scripts | Character set name. This attribute is optional. Attribute values are UTF16, UTF8 or ASCII. |
CHARSET_NUMBER | FastExport, FastLoad, MultiLoad, and TPump job scripts | One-byte ID of the character set. This attribute is optional. |
TBR_OP_HANDLE | Teradata PT DataConnector operator | Pointer to Teradata PT operator handle. The pointer communicates with Teradata PT functions. The Teradata PT DataConnector operator always sends this attribute, although the Access Module does not have to use it. |
TIMEOUT_SECONDS | Teradata PT, TPump, and DataConnector operator | An I/O time-out value in seconds. This value is in character form and must be converted to an integer value for use. |
WRITE_BOM | FastExport, FastLoad, MultiLoad, and TPump job scripts | Byte order marker. This attribute is optional. Attribute values are YES or NO, where YES causes a Byte Order mark to be written to the beginning of the file. |
