Basic Teradata TPump Recovery

Whenever a database restart is detected or a Teradata TPump job is restarted on the host system, the following activity occurs:

  • The restart log table is scanned with reference to the Teradata TPump script. Each statement within the script is either executed because a row does not exist or ignored because a row exists in the restart log.
  • In the case of the END LOAD statement, there are a number of rows which are placed in the restart log table which let Teradata TPump decide what to do. Teradata TPump ignores any complete IMPORT within a LOAD and begins at the incomplete IMPORT.
  • Within an unfinished IMPORT, Teradata TPump begins processing at the last complete checkpoint. If the Teradata TPump job was running in SIMPLE mode before the restart, then recovery is complete and processing continues at the last complete checkpoint.
  • If Teradata TPump was running in ROBUST mode before it was restarted, then Teradata TPump must next ascertain how much processing has been completed since the last checkpoint. This is accomplished by reading back a set of “Partial Checkpoints” from the restart log table in Teradata Database, sorting them, and then reprocessing all transactions which were left incomplete when the job was interrupted.
