Progress status report is displayed on a standard output device. On the IBM mainframe platform, the progress status is sent to the SYSPRINT DD with other regular Teradata ARC output lines.

VERBOSE provides three levels of progress status (1 through 3):

  • Level 1is specified as:
    VERBOSE, VERB or VB
  • Levels 2 through 3 are specified as:
    Level 2 - VERBOSE2, VERB2 or VB2
    Level 3 - VERBOSE3, VERB3 or VB3

While VERBOSE level 1 is designed for normal operation, the other two levels are for diagnosis and debugging. The performance of Teradata ARC is affected when these higher VERBOSE levels are used, especially if a low CHECKPOINT value is specified.

The output of VERBOSE is preceded by three dashes (---) for easy identification and filtering by other utilities.

For ARCHIVE and RESTORE/COPY operations, the amount of data processed in the data phase is displayed at each checkpoint. Teradata ARC internally takes checkpoints for every n number of data blocks processed for restart purposes. Therefore, it is possible to control the frequency of display of status information when VERBOSE is specified by the CHECKPOINT parameter setting. See CHECKPOINT.

For the RESTORE/COPY operations, each build request is displayed in addition to the data processed before the request is sent to the Teradata Database. However, the client has no control of the actual build execution. Therefore, after the request is sent, Teradata ARC waits for the completion of the build request.

Specify NOVERBOSE to disable the VERBOSE parameter. The default is NOVERBOSE.
