Minor Features significant, but fewer, functional enhancements to your current software

Emergency A release issued in response to a specific problem that has been reported by a customer
Major, minor, or maintenance release media for the Teradata Tools and Utilities software for z/OS contains the following items:
  • A listing file describing how to get a copy of the Teradata® Tools and Utilities Release Definition (B035-2029) from the Web
  • Teradata Tools and Utilities software for z/OS, which consists of the base release of the software and all subsequent minor or maintenance releases
