Standalone Operators - Parallel Transporter

Standalone Operators

Standalone operators perform specialty processes that do not involve sending data to, or receiving data from, a data stream. In other words, standalone operators solely use input data from job scripts as their source.

Standalone operators can perform the following functions:

Execute DDL and other self-contained SQL statements

Execute host operating system commands

Execute a DELETE task on the Teradata Database

Teradata PT includes the following standalone-type operators:

OS Command operator

DDL operator

The Update operator, when it is executing the Delete Task and if no data is required.

Standalone operators are summarized in Table 2 on page 37. For details, see Teradata Parallel Transporter Reference.
