View Machine Configuration
After performing an export operation review the configuration of a source machine to estimate the import time.
While preparing emulation information for import, it might be helpful to refer to the configuration of the target system in order to identify compatible systems.
To view target system configuration information
This procedure requires a connection to a Teradata Database.
1 From the Import window, click .
The Source Machine Configuration dialog box appears and displays details about the machine from which the system information was exported.
