Teradata TPump Configuration File

Configuration File Name and Location

On network-attached systems, the Teradata TPump configuration file must be named tpumpcfg.dat and it must be located in either:

  • The directory from which Teradata TPump was launched
  • or

  • The directory specified in the TPUMPLIB environment variable
  • On mainframe-attached systems, the DD statement for the Teradata TPump configuration file must be labeled TPUMPCFG.

    Configuration File Contents

    The Teradata TPump configuration file has the following entries:

    ARRAYSUPPORT=on
    RETRYFIRSTCONNECT=n
    RETRYOTHERCONNECT=n
    RETRYCONNECTINTERVAL=s

    Note: RETRYFIRSTCONNECT, RETRYOTHERCONNECT and RETRYCONNECTINTERVAL can only be specified in the configuration file for network‑attached platforms. There are no corresponding command line options.

    where

  • on for ARRAYSUPPORT turns on Array Support for the TPump job when there is no mention of the Array Support option in the TPump script.
