For the most part, if you encounter a problem on your system that results in a crashdump, Teradata Vital Infrastructure will notify Teradata Services if you have TVI installed on your system. Otherwise, you should contact the Teradata Support Center.

  • Raw PDE crashdumps are saved to /var/opt/teradata/tddump.

    Teradata recommends that the TDTEMP and TDDUMP partitions be identified as /var/opt/teradata/tdtemp and /var/opt/teradata/tddump, respectively. You can use the dmpconfig utility to view or change the default locations. For more information on this utility, type dmpconfig -h.

  • Crashdumps in table format are located at DBC.Crashdumps.Crash_YYMMDD_HHMMSS_NN.
  • Crashdumps in stream format are located at /var/opt/teradata/tddump/pdedumps/stream.
When you first install Vantage on your SUSE Linux system, you must partition the disk and save a slice for dumps. For more information, see Teradata® Tools and Utilities for Linux Installation Guide (Amazon Linux 2, CentOS, OEL, RedHat, SLES, Ubuntu), B035-3160.
