When specifying Teradata ARC runtime parameters, specify PARM/DEFAULT first, then the other parameters in any order.
For z/OS systems, specify runtime parameters in ARCPARM or PARM on the EXEC card of the JCL.
Table 13 summarizes Teradata ARC runtime parameters. For more detail, refer to the sections that follow the table.
Parameter |
Platforms Supported |
Description |
All Platforms |
Enables direct tape positioning for restore and copy operations |
|
All Platforms |
Enables support of Chinese/Korean character sets when connecting to the database |
|
All Platforms |
Places restart information in the restart log each time the specified number of data blocks are processed |
|
All Platforms |
Allows the Teradata Database and Teradata ARC to verify data packets during ARCHIVE or RESTORE |
|
All Platforms |
Enables the ARC side logic to allow System Join Indexes (SJIs) to be copied to a different database |
|
All Platforms |
Instructs Teradata ARC to use the payload encryption feature that is supported by Teradata Call-Level Interface (CLI) |
|
All Platforms |
Allows the user to override the severity of specified error code The new severity will determine how Teradata ARC handles the error. |
|
All Platforms |
Defines the file path name that contains default options for Teradata ARC |
|
All Platforms |
Enables ARCMAIN to handle UTF16 strings when interacting with its interfaces |
|
(Specify the prefix NO to disable if previously enabled, even in the PARM file.) |
All Platforms |
Creates a file to store Teradata ARC execution errors |
All Platforms |
Sets the program to reclassify a normally nonfatal error condition as fatal, and abend if the selected message is issued |
|
All Platforms |
Maps the internal name of a file to an external name, if specified |
|
(Specify the prefix NO to disable if previously enabled, even in the PARM file.) |
All Platforms |
Terminates the current task if, during archive or recovery, the Teradata Database fails or restarts, and the new configuration differs from the configuration that preceded the failure |
(Specify the prefix NO to disable if previously enabled, even in the PARM file.) |
All Platforms |
Displays object names in the standard output in hexadecimal notation |
Linux, |
Specifies the name of an access module Note: The value of IOMODULE is passed directly to the tape access module. ARCMAIN does not interpret the value. |
|
Linux, |
Specifies the initialization string for the access module named in IOMODULE Note: The value of IOPARM is passed directly to the access module. ARCMAIN does not interpret the value. |
|
All Platforms |
Specifies the number of characters at which Teradata ARC wraps lines on its output log |
|
All Platforms |
Enables the runtime definition of the logon string |
|
All Platforms |
Instructs Teradata ARC to log all of the tables that are skipped during an ARCHIVE operation |
|
All Platforms except mainframe (IBM z/OS) |
Turns off Teradata Multi-System Manager (TMSM) event logging |
|
All Platforms |
Allows the user to override the severity of specified warning error codes to Info (severity 0) The new severity will determine how Teradata ARC will handle the warning. |
|
Windows XP/Server 2003 |
Duplicates standard (stdout) output to a file |
|
IBM z/OS |
Specifies that frequently used runtime parameters are in a parameter file Important: This parameter must be first when other parameters are specified. |
|
(Specify the prefix NO to disable if previously enabled, even in the PARM file.) |
All Platforms |
Pauses execution if, during archive or recovery, the Teradata Database fails or restarts, and the new configuration differs from the configuration that preceded the failure |
All Platforms |
Provides a performance logging option for Teradata ARC to export performance data for job analysis |
|
(Specify the prefix NO to disable if previously enabled, even in the PARM file.) |
All Platforms |
Specifies the current operation is a restart of a previous operation that was interrupted by a client failure |
All Platforms |
Specifies the restart log name for ARCMAIN |
|
All Platforms |
Specifies the number of Teradata sessions available for archive and recovery operations |
|
All Platforms |
Specifies a starting AMP for an all-AMPs archive rather than starting on a random AMP or starting with AMP0 |
|
Windows XP/Server 2003 |
Specifies the value that will be used to define %UEN% when in a RESTORE/COPY operation |
|
(Specify the prefix NO to disable if previously enabled, even in the PARM file.) |
All Platforms |
Sends Teradata ARC progress status information to the standard output device (for example, SYSPRINT for IBM platforms) |
Windows XP/Server 2003 |
Specifies the name of the working directory |
