The Export operator supports notify exit routines. A notify exit routine specifies a predefined action to be performed whenever certain significant events occur during a job, for example, whether a job succeeds or fails, how many records are exported, what the return code is for the failed job, and so on. Only the main instance sends a notify event.

The Export operator job accumulates operational information about specific events that occur during a job. If the Export operator job script includes the NotifyMethod attribute with the Exit method specification, then when the specific events occur, the Export operator calls the named notify exit routine and passes to it:

  • An event code to identify the event
  • Specific information about the event

The following table lists the event codes and describes the data that the Export operator passes to the notify exit routine for each event. The information in this table is also sent to the system log.

Ensure that notify exit routines ignore invalid or undefined event codes, and that they do not cause the operator to terminate abnormally.
Export Operator Notify Event Codes 
Event Event Code Event Description and Data Passed to the Notify Exit Routine
Initialize 0 Signifies successful processing of the notify feature:
  • Version ID length—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Version ID string—32-character (maximum) array
  • Operator ID—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Operator name length—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Operator name string—32-character (maximum) array
  • User name length—4-byte unsigned integer
  • User name string—64-character (maximum) array
  • Optional string length—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Optional string—80-character (maximum) array
  • Operator handle—4-byte unsigned integer
Teradata Database Restart 9 Signifies that the Export operator received a crash message from the Teradata Database or from the CLIv2:
  • No data accompanies the Teradata Database restart event code
CLIv2 Error 10 Signifies that the Export operator received a CLIv2 error:
  • Error code—4-byte unsigned integer
Teradata Database Error 11 Signifies that the Export operator received a Teradata Database error that will produce an exit code of 12:
  • Error code—4-byte unsigned integer
Not all Teradata Database errors cause this event. A 3807 error, for example, while trying to drop or create a table does not terminate the Export operator.
Exit 12 Signifies that the Export operator is terminating:
  • Exit code—4-byte unsigned integer
Export Begin 31 Signifies that the Export operator is about to begin the export task by opening the export file:
  • No data accompanies the export begin event code
Request Submit Begin 32 Signifies that the Export operator is about to submit the SELECT request to the Teradata Database:
  • Request length—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Request text—32,000-character (maximum) array
Request Submit End 33 Signifies that the Export operator has received the response to the SELECT request:
  • Statement count—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Block count—4-byte unsigned integer
Request Fetch Begin 34 Signifies that the Export operator is about to fetch the results of the SELECT request
  • No data accompanies the request fetch begin event code
File or OUTMOD Open 35 Signifies that the Export operator is about to open an output or OUTMOD routine file
  • File name length—4-byte unsigned integer
  • File name—256-character (maximum) array
Statement Fetch Begin 36 Signifies that the Export operator is about to fetch the current statement in a request:
  • Statement number—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Block count—4-byte unsigned integer
Statement Fetch End 37 Signifies that the Export operator has fetched all of the records for the current statement:
  • Record count—4-byte unsigned integer
Request Fetch End 38 Signifies that the Export operator has fetched all of the records for the current request:
  • Records exported—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Records rejected—4-byte unsigned integer
Export End 39 Signifies that the Export operator has completed the export operation and displayed the number of exported records:
  • Records exported—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Records rejected—4-byte unsigned integer
Block Count 40 Signifies that the Export operator has determined the block count:
  • Block count—4-byte unsigned integer

This event is only available when the NoSpool mode is used for the answer set.

Statement Fetch End 41 Signifies that the Export operator has fetched all of the records for the current statement:
  • Record count—8-byte unsigned integer

This event is only available when the value for the NotifyMethod attribute is set to 'Exit64' or 'ExitEON'.

Request Fetch End 42 Signifies that the Export operator has fetched all of the records for the current request:
  • Records exported—8-byte unsigned integer
  • Records rejected—8-byte unsigned integer

This event is only available when the value for the NotifyMethod attribute is set to 'Exit64' or 'ExitEON'.

Export End 43 Signifies that the Export operator has completed the export operation and displayed the number of exported records:
  • Records exported—8-byte unsigned integer
  • Records rejected—8-byte unsigned integer

This event is only available when the value for the NotifyMethod attribute is set to 'Exit64' or 'ExitEON'.

Request Submit End 44 Signifies that the Export operator has received the response to the SELECT request:
  • Statement count—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Block count—8-byte unsigned integer

This event is only available when the value for the NotifyMethod attribute is set to 'Exit64' or 'ExitEON'.

Statement Fetch Begin 45 Signifies that the Export operator is about to fetch the current statement in a request:
  • Statement number—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Block count—8-byte unsigned integer

This event is only available when the value for the NotifyMethod attribute is set to 'Exit64' or 'ExitEON'.

Block Count 46 Signifies that the Export operator has determined the block count:
  • Block count—8-byte unsigned integer

This event is only available when the value for the NotifyMethod attribute is set to 'Exit64' or 'ExitEON'.

Initialize 47 Signifies successful processing of the notify feature:
  • Version ID length—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Version ID string—pointer to a null-terminated string
  • Operator ID—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Operator name length—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Operator name string—pointer to a null-terminated string
  • User name length—4-byte unsigned integer
  • User name string—pointer to a null-terminated string
  • Optional string length—4-byte unsigned integer
  • Optional string—pointer to a null-terminated string

This event is only available when the value for the NotifyMethod attribute is set to 'ExitEON'.

The following table lists events that create notifications.
