Use the dsa_configsys tool to configure source and target Teradata systems when using Data Mover with DSA. When the -h and -u options are provided in the configuration, dsa_configsys restarts DSMAIN on the source and target systems. If the -h and -u options are not provided, DSMAIN must be manually restarted using cnsterm before using DSA.
The following must be considered when configuring the source and target systems:
  • The DSC host must resolve to an IP that can be reached by every TPA node on the source and target systems.
  • Each TPA node must resolve COP entries for all nodes on the same system.
  • The user specified with the -u option must be either "root" or a user with sudo access to run the Teradata cnsterm utility.
  • You must specify TDPID with the -t option.
  1. From the DSC host, run hostname -i to verify that the resolved IP can be reached from the TPA nodes.
  2. Run build_dsainputs on one of the following servers, depending on which DSA configuration you are using:
    DSA Configuration Server
    Bundled DSA Data Mover server
    External DSA External DSC server

    Copy the build_dsainputs script to the external DSC server and run from there. The script can be copied to and run from any directory.

  3. Configure the source and target systems and restart DSMAIN using dsa_configsys.
    The following is an example of using dsa_configsys to configure TDPID sdt05126 and restart DSMAIN:
    # ./dsa_configsys -t sdt05126 -p dbc -h sdt05126 -u root
    {"validationlist":null,"status":"CONFIG_TERADATA_SYSTEM_SUCCESSFUL","systemName":"sdt05126","tdpId":"sdt05126","valid":true,"links":[]}
    sdt05126 successfully configured.

    There may be a delay of 30 seconds or more after each operation.
    
    PLEASE ALLOW BOTH OPERATIONS TO COMPLETE.

        DSMain started.

    Verifying that sdt05126 has registered with ActiveMQ .. please wait.
    
    sdt05126 has been successfully configured and has registered with ActiveMQ.
    To check if a system has been configured with DSA, use the --verify option with the -t and -p options.
    The following example shows the dsa_configsys usage information that is displayed when no parameters are provided:
    $ ./dsa_configsys
    
    Usage: dsa_configsys -t <TDPID> [-U <db_user>] -p <db_user password> [--verify] [ -h <host> -u <linux userid> [-i <identity_file>] ] | -?
    
    Description:
    This script will configure a TD system for DSA (similar to the 'dsc config_systems' command). After the TD system is configured DSMain must be re-started on the system. This script will restart DSMain if the -h option is specified.
    
    Run this script locally on the DSC server for which the TD systems are being configured.
    
    -t The TDPID of the system to configure. The TDPID must exactly match the definition from the Data Mover <source_tdpid> and <target_tdpid> job XML. For example: if the <source_tdpid> in the job XML is prodsys.labs.td.com then it must be specified as prodsys.labs.td.com for this option.
    
    -U (Optional) Use this option to specify a user other than 'dbc'. This user must have adequate permission for DB 'sysbar' to replace a macro (TD version < 16.00) or insert a row in table sysbar.dsaconnectionstbl (TD version >= 16.00).
    
    -p Password for user 'dbc' on the system specified above with the -t option. Optionally the -U option can be provided to specify a different user.
    
    --verify (Optional) Use this option along with -t and -p to check whether a system has been configured in DSA. If the system is configured then no additional configuration is needed with dsa_configsys.
    
    -h (Optional) If the user specifies the -h option followed by the TD system host (SMP) or one of the TD system hosts (MPP) then dsa_configsys will ssh into that host to restart DSMain (stop/start).
    
    -u Required when using the -h option, specify a user that has sudo permissions to run TD cnsterm commands on the host (e.g. root, ec2-user, azureuser).
    
    -i (Optional) Specify an identity file that includes the private key.
    
    Examples:
    ./dsa_configsys -t devsys -p dbc -h devsys -u root
    Configure SMP system 'devsys' and restart DSMain.
    
    ./dsa_configsys -t prodsys.labs.td.com -p dbc -h prodsys1 -i my_identityfile -u ec2-user
    Configure MPP system 'prodsys' and restart DSMain. Note that 'prodsys1' resolves to the first node of the MPP system.
    
    ./dsa_configsys -t prodsys -p dbc --verify
    Check if 'prodsys' has been configured in DSA.
