Chapter 1: Introduction
Teradata QS Client Components

The client component includes:
Teradata Query Scheduler Viewer
Teradata Query Scheduler Submit dialog box
Teradata Query Scheduler Operations utility
Teradata QS client library
Teradata QS communications library
End-users use the Teradata Query Scheduler Submit dialog box to submit single or multiple
SQL statement requests for execution at a later date and time. They also use the Teradata
Query Scheduler Viewer to manage the request results.
The Teradata QS client library has the API for the Teradata QS Viewer. The Teradata QS
communications library handles socket communication with the Teradata QS server.
The DBA configures and views information about the state of the Teradata QS components in
the client/server architecture from the Teradata Query Scheduler Operations utility.
The Teradata Query Scheduler Operations utility is used to manage both the Teradata QS client
and Teradata QS server software programs. The DBA uses the Teradata Query Scheduler
Operations tool to configure and start the Teradata QS server before end-users can schedule
SQL requests.
To learn about the Teradata QS client components, see Teradata Query Scheduler User Guide.
Teradata QS Server Components

The server component includes:
Teradata QS scheduler/dispatcher
Teradata QS executor program
Teradata QS request processors
Teradata QS communications library
The Teradata QS server components save, process, and execute Teradata QS client requests
that have been scheduled.
Teradata QS Administrator
The DBA uses the Teradata Query Scheduler Administrator to enable the scheduled request
feature, set up user profiles, and setup time frames in which schedule requests are executed by
Teradata QS.
Note: The TDWM database is shared by Teradata Dynamic Workload Manager (Teradata
DWM). However, Teradata QS maintains its own tables within the TDWM database. For
more information about Teradata DWM, see Teradata Dynamic Workload Manager User
Guide.
In prior versions of Teradata QS (Teradata DQM), the DBA used the administrator
components to create and manage Teradata Database rules. This function has been moved to
16
Teradata DWM. Using the Teradata DWM, the DBA can set up rules that manage database
access, increase database efficiency, and enhance workload capacity. Two types of flexible rules
can be created that examine logon and query requests, and that can reject or delay query
requests.

Teradata QS provides a database request scheduling service. Queries are scheduled through
client applications such as the Teradata Scheduler Viewer and Teradata SQL Assistant. For
more information about Teradata Scheduler Viewer, see Teradata Query Scheduler User Guide.
For more information about SQL Assistant, see Teradata SQL Assistant for Microsoft Windows
User Guide.
The Teradata QS Server accepts new requests, executes scheduled requests at specified times,
and returns request information and status to clients.
What Are Scheduled Requests?

Scheduled requests are SQL queries scheduled by end-users for off-line execution. Requests
are scheduled using the Teradata Query Scheduler Submit dialog box.
When end-users know of existing database rules that will prevent a SQL request from running
or if they suspect their queries may overload the Teradata Database, they can actively schedule
a request using the Teradata Query Scheduler Submit dialog box.
When a request is scheduled, end-users provide information that defines preferences for when
it is executed. A request can be scheduled to run periodically or only once during a specified
time period without an active system user connection.
Because a scheduled request can actually be executed many times, the term request is used to
mean the actual definition of the scheduled request parameters. The term job is used to mean
an individual instance a scheduled request is scheduled to run.
For example, a scheduled request can be defined to execute daily. That request causes a
separate job to be created every day to execute that request.
The DBA enables or disables the scheduled request feature on your Teradata Database using
the Teradata Query Scheduler Administrator.
To learn how to enable or disable the scheduled request feature, see Configure the Scheduled
Requests on page 37.

Teradata QS accepts single- or multiple-statement query requests for execution at a later time.
However, scheduling a request does not guarantee that it is executed at the date and time
17
specified. Scheduled requests are subject to the same Teradata Database rule checking as are
interactive requests.
In addition, an execution time frame must be available during the time specified to execute
the request. To learn more about execution time frames, see Configure Execution Time
Frames on page 38.
Scheduled requests are subject to three phases of processing:
Request Checking
Job Dispatching
Job Execution
Request Checking
When a scheduled request is submitted, the Teradata QS server does the following:
Uses the scheduling information the user provides as the intended start time for the
request.
Because a request may not be run until some time after the requested start time, a time
interval in which the request may be run must also be specified.
Checks for an available execution time frame during the specified time period. If no
execution time frames are available, the request is rejected.
Schedules the first job for the request. Unique IDs are generated for the request and its first
job.
Job Dispatching
After the first job is scheduled, the Teradata QS server does the following:
Monitors the job to determine when it can be run.
Dispatches the Teradata QS job execution program to run the job.

The Teradata QS job dispatcher is aware of established execution time frames that dictate
when the job can be executed. It is also aware of how many job executors are allowed to
run simultaneously.
Job Execution
Teradata QS server follows these steps when attempting to run a scheduled request job:
18
Retrieves information about the request from the Teradata QS database.
Logs on to the database as the user, with an optional account name.
If a results table/file was specified and the results table/file currently exists, the job fails
unless the user specified that the results could be deleted.
Runs the request.
Reschedules the job for at least 15 minutes later if a Teradata Database workload
management restriction is encountered.
When a job needs to be rescheduled, an updated execution time is computed. If the

updated time exceeds the start interval for the job, the status of the job is marked as
restricted because it will not be completed within its execution time frame.
If a results table/file was specified, the last statement of the scheduled request is first run in
prepare mode to obtain the column types and names of the result data. If necessary, the
result table/file is recreated with those column types, and the last statement (which must
be a SELECT statement) is run. The result data is written to the results table/file.

The Teradata QS Administrator is a Windows-based GUI (graphical user interface) that allows
the DBA to set up and manage these Teradata QS features:
Enable or disable scheduled requests.
Create, delete, or modify time periods (called execution time frames) when scheduled
requests are executed by Teradata QS.
Create, delete, or modify workgroups that equitably distribute resources and scheduled
requests workloads during execution time frames.
Create, delete, or modify the locations where scheduled request results files are stored and
accessed by all Teradata QS servers.
Create, delete, or modify sets of scheduled request attributes (called profiles) for users,
accounts, DBS roles, and DBS profiles.
View, execute, cancel, immediately submit, abort, delete, or modify scheduled SQL
requests and jobs to avoid adversely affecting a Teradata Database during prime usage
periods.
View Teradata QS scheduled request server status.
Configure the behavior of scheduled requests using profiles.
See Chapter 5: Use the Teradata QS Administrator to learn how to use these features. For
detailed descriptions of the controls in this interface, see Chapter 3: Navigate Teradata QS
Administrator
Teradata QS has a view-only mode that allows users to log on without being an administrator.
In view-only mode, the user can view Teradata QS settings, but cannot make changes. For
more information on logging on in view-only mode, see Open the Teradata Query Scheduler
Administrator on page 35. For a detailed description of the functionality of Teradata QS in
view-only mode, see View-Only Mode on page 51.
How Do I Start the Teradata QS Server?

The Teradata Query Scheduler Operations tools are used to manage both the Teradata QS
client and Teradata QS server software programs. The DBA must use the Teradata Query

CHAPTER 4
Prepare the Teradata QS Database
After Teradata Query Scheduler 14.00 has been installed per instructions from Teradata Tools
and Utilities Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows, the DBA runs a script to create
scheduling tables for the TDWM database. This chapter provides the following topics:
Run the TQS Setup Script
Migrate the Teradata QS Database
Run the TQS Setup Script

The following sections summarize procedures to follow to prepare your system for using
Teradata QS. The procedures vary based on whether Query Scheduler was resident on your
system previously.
Read these topics to learn more about installation:
New Installation
Upgrade Installation
New Installation
To run Teradata QS on a new installation of the Teradata Database (that is, one on which an
earlier version of Teradata QS or Teradata DQM has not been installed), run the tqssetup.bteq
script. The script creates scheduling tables in the TDWM database that Teradata QS uses to
store scheduling information.
To run the tqssetup.bteq script

1
Locate the tqssetup.bteq file.

Note: The default location is C:\Program Files\Teradata\Teradata Query Scheduler Admin
14.0.
Open the tqssetup.bteq file in a text editor.
In the .logon statement, replace dbsName with the name of the Teradata Database whose
tables you are upgrading to 14.0.
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Execute the script using BTEQ. See Basic Teradata Query Reference for instructions.
After the tqssetup.bteq script has completed processing:
31
Chapter 4: Prepare the Teradata QS Database

From the Query Scheduler Administrator main window, enable scheduling, configure
time frames, file storage, workgroups, and profiles. See:
Configure the Scheduled Requests on page 37
Configure Execution Time Frames on page 38
Manage Results File Storage on page 42
Set Up Workgroups on page 40
Manage Scheduler Profiles on page 44
Using Query Scheduler Operations, configure Client and Server parameters. In

particular, on the Server Parameters screen, fill in the Database Logon information so
that Teradata QS communicates with the correct Teradata Database.
Restart the Operations utility if prompted to do so, and then restart the server. After
the server has started, in the Scheduler Viewer (client) application, use the Connect
command to connect to a Teradata QS Server, and the Schedule SQL command to
submit scheduled requests.
Upgrade Installation
Teradata QS 14.00 supports upgrades from Teradata QS versions 6.1, 6.2, 12.0, 13.0, and
13.10. Follow the instructions from Run the TQS Setup Script on page 31 to upgrade the
scheduling tables by running the tqssetup.bteq script.
To upgrade Teradata QS on a Teradata Database containing scheduled requests from

version 6.1, 6.2, 12.0, 13.0 or 13.10
1
Stop all running client (Viewer) applications.
Stop all running Teradata QS servers.
Install the Teradata QS 14.00 Administrator package. (The client and server packages can
also be installed at this time.) For instructions, see the Teradata Tools and Utilities
Installation Guide for the appropriate operating system.
Run the tqssetup.bteq script to update the scheduler tables.
Proceed to Chapter 5 Use the Teradata QS Administrator on page 35.

If upgrading from Teradata QS 6.1, 6.2, 12.0, 13.0 or 13.10, migration is not necessary.
However, the tqssetup.bteq script must be run to update the scheduler table definitions to
release version 14.00. See Run the TQS Setup Script on page 31.
32

To upgrade Teradata QS on a Teradata Database containing scheduled requests from

version 6.0
1
First upgrade from Teradata 6.0 to 12.0, as described in the section Migrating the
Teradata QS Database of Teradata Query Scheduler Administrator Guide, version 12.00.
Note: You must perform the upgrade and migration to 12.0 before continuing.
Upgrade from Teradata QS 12.0 to Teradata 14.00 using the tqssetup.bteq script. See Run
the TQS Setup Script on page 31.

The DBA controls when scheduled SQL requests are executed on the system by defining and
enabling execution time frames. An execution time frame is a period of time in which
scheduled SQL requests are permitted to run and when the Teradata QS server will attempt to
execute any scheduled requests.
38

After creating an execution time frame, the DBA must make it available on your Teradata
Database system. Scheduled requests are not accepted or run unless an execution time frame is
available.
When a user submits a request for scheduling, Teradata QS determines whether there are any
execution time frames available during the scheduled time period. If no execution time frames
are available and the maximum start interval is exceeded, then the request is not scheduled.
Although multiple execution time frames can be created and enabled, only the primary
Teradata QS server actually dispatches and executes the scheduled requests.

Set Up Workgroups
A workgroup represents a collection of related scheduled requests for a number of users,
accounts, roles, and profiles. The DBA can create, edit, or delete any number of workgroups
that equitably distribute resources and scheduled requests workloads during execution time
frames.
Assign a maximum number of requests that can be simultaneously executing from each
workgroup. This ensures that a fair share of the scheduled work gets done within the
execution time frames for all workgroups.

Results file storage is a symbolic name for a file system directory where scheduled requests
results files are stored. To save the results of scheduled requests in flat text files, the storage
location must be designated. Create, edit, or delete any number of locations where scheduled
request results files are stored and accessed by all Teradata QS servers.
Each results file storage location has a specified Windows path. The same Windows path is
used by all active Teradata QS servers so that they can all access the results files at the same
location. This requires that all Teradata QS scheduled requests servers must have access to the
Windows path(s) that describe the results file storage location(s).
Profiles additionally contain an optional relative path that is used to reference a subdirectory
name for the desired profile. Teradata QS joins the appropriate results file storage location
path with the relative profile path to create a valid directory name for a Windows system for
the desired profile.
For the Teradata QS server to read and write to the results files in the location the DBA
specifies, the DBA needs to set up the appropriate Windows privileges for the server. See
Create and Edit Results File Storage Locations on page 43 for instructions on specifying a
results file storage location. For instructions on setting up Windows privileges, see the
Teradata Query Scheduler User Guide. In the topic, Managing the Teradata QS Server,
specifically read Supporting Results Files.
42

If the last, or only, statement in a scheduled request is a SELECT statement, it generates a

result set that can be captured and saved by Teradata QS. Results from a scheduled request can
be saved to a new or existing database table, or to a file specified when the request was created.
The user controls whether any existing data is destroyed. For database tables, Teradata QS can
create a table with the appropriate column types for the result data.
Save Scheduled Requests Results

To save scheduled requests results into files
1
Ensure all disk drives on which results files are stored by Teradata QS servers are identically
available to all Teradata QS server systems on Windows. This enables any Scheduled
Request client to connect to any Teradata QS Server to retrieve their results.
Ensure all results file storage locations are configured so they have the same path on all
server systems. This is easier to manage than configuring a different results location for
every server.
To save scheduled requests results to a file in a shared network directory

1
Configure the Teradata QS Server to run as a user with network access privileges and write
and read access to the specified directory.
From your desktop, click Start>Administrative Tools>Computer Management.
Select Services under Services and Applications in the directory tree.
From the list of services, select TQS Server and click Properties or right-click and select
Properties from the shortcut menu.
In the TQS Server Properties dialog box, click the Log On tab.

Profiles are used to control scheduled requests submitted to your Teradata QS Server. A profile
is a set of parameters assigned to individual users, accounts, Teradata Roles, or Teradata
Profiles that determines what scheduling capabilities are available and how your Teradata QS
Server handles their scheduled requests.
A default user profile is created and reserved by Teradata QS during installation and is used
when a user is not assigned to a user profile, a group profile, or an account profile. The default
user profile cannot be deleted, but it can be changed.
44

Automatic Cleanup
Using the Job History box in the profile, specify the length of time that records of scheduled
request jobs will be saved before being automatically deleted from the system. Users can also
delete their own completed jobs at any time.

Schedule Rejected Teradata SQL Assistant

Queries
End-users can use Teradata SQL Assistant (a Windows ODBC application) to submit SQL
requests to a Teradata Database. When a Teradata SQL Assistant query is rejected by the
Teradata Database because of workload management restrictions (Teradata DWM statuses
3149-3150), the DBA can make the Teradata Query Scheduler Submit dialog box available so
the end-user can re-schedule the request.
To learn how to set up this option, see the Teradata Query Scheduler User Guide. For more
information about Teradata DWM rules, see Teradata Dynamic Workload Manager User
Guide.

When creating a scheduled request, end-users can specify an e-mail address where Teradata
QS will send a notification message when a request has completed its execution, successfully

Glossary
A
account The distinct account name portion of the system account strings, excluding the
performance group designation. Accounts can be employed wherever a user object can be
specified.
ANSI American National Standards Institute. The private, non-profit organization
responsible for approving US standards in many areas, including computers and
communications.
API Application Program Interface. An interface (calling conventions) by which an
application program accesses an operating system and other services. An API is defined at
source code level and provides a level of abstraction between the application and the kernel
(or other privileged utilities) to ensure the portability of the code. A language and message
format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some
other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications
protocol.
An API can also provide an interface between a high level language and lower level utilities
and services written without consideration for the calling conventions supported by compiled
languages. In this case, the API may translate the parameter lists from one format to another
and the interpret call-by-value and call-by-reference arguments in one or both directions.
ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The basis of character sets
used in almost all present-day computers.
B
BTET Begin Transaction End Transaction. The Transaction mode (option TRANSACT or
-tr) that implicitly creates transactions for each SQL request if there is not an active
transaction. Commands that mark a unit of work that is all updated or all rolled back (not
updated).
BTEQ Basic Teradata Query. A general-purpose, command-based program that allows users
on a workstation to communicate with one or more Teradata Database systems, and to format
reports for both print and screen output.
C
CLIv2 Call-Level Interface version 2. The application used by Teradata DWM to connect to
the Teradata Database.
CLI2SPB CLIv2 system parameter block (SPB) for network-attached systems. The internal
SPB, is a data structure that is examined during initialization. During initialization, any
67
Glossary
DBCAREA values not set in the clispb.dat file by the user will default to the values contained
in CLI2SPB.
D
DBA Database Administrator. Generally, a person responsible for the design and
management of one or more databases and for the evaluation, selection and implementation
of database management systems.
DBC The default database associated with user DBC. When Teradata Database is first
installed on your server, it has only one user. This user is called User DBC and it owns all other
databases and users in the system.
DBCAREA A communication structure shared by an application program and CLI. The
application uses it to forward control and data information. CLI uses it to return control and
data information. An application may use a single DBCAREA or multiple DBCAREAs. CLI
retains no knowledge of a particular DBCAREA across multiple CLI calls. CLI is concerned
only with the values for DBCAREA that are meaningful to the routine called.
DBS
A Database system
DNS Domain Name System. A general-purpose distributed, replicated, data query service
chiefly used on Internet for translating hostnames into Internet addresses. Also, the style of
hostname used on the Internet, though such a name is properly called a fully qualified domain
name. DNS can be configured to use a sequence of name servers, based on the domains in the
name being looked for, until a match is found.
E
exclusion join In Teradata SQL, a product join or merge join where only the rows that do
not satisfy (are NOT in) the conditional specified in the SELECT are joined.
execution time frame A period of time when Teradata DWM can execute scheduled
requests that are waiting to run.
G
GSS Generic Security Services. An application level interface (API) to system security
services. It provides a generic interface to services which may be provided by a variety of
different security mechanisms. Vanilla GSS-API supports security contexts between two
entities (known as principals).
I
ID
Identifier or Identification.
inner join In Teradata SQL, a join operation on two or more tables, according to a join
condition, that returns the qualifying rows from each table.
68
Glossary
J
job
An individual instance a scheduled request is scheduled to run.
join In Teradata SQL, a join is a SELECT operation that allows columns and rows to be
combined from two or more tables to produce a result. Join types restricted by Teradata DWM
are inner join, outer join, merge join, product join, and all joins. For more information, see all
joins, exclusion join, inner join, merge join, nested join, and RowId join.
M
merge join In Teradata SQL, the type of join that occurs when the WHERE conditional of a
SELECT statement causes the system first to sort the rows of two tables based on a join field
(specified in the statement), then traverse the result while performing a merge/match process.
N
nested join In Teradata SQL, this join occurs when the user specifies a field that is a unique
primary index on one table and which is in itself an index (unique/non-unique primary or
secondary) to the second table.
O
ODBC Open Database Connectivity. An application that may be used by Teradata Tools and
Utilities to establish a connection with a Teradata Database.
outer join In Teradata SQL, an extension of an inner join operation. In addition to
returning qualifying rows from tables joined according to a join condition (the inner join), an
outer join returns non-matching rows from one or both of its tables. Multiple tables are joined
two at a time.
P
performance groups A performance group is a collection of parameters used to control and
prioritize resource allocation for a particular set of Teradata Database sessions within the
Priority Scheduler. Every Teradata Database session is assigned to a performance group during
the logon process. Performance groups are the primary consideration in partitioning the
working capacity of the Teradata Database. To learn more about performance groups, see the
Priority Scheduler section of Utilities.
product join In Teradata SQL, the type of join that occurs when the WHERE conditional of
a SELECT statement causes the Teradata Database system to compare all qualifying rows from
one table to all qualifying rows from the other table. Because each row of one table is
compared to each row of another table, this join can be costly in terms of system performance.
Note that product joins without an overall WHERE constraint are considered unconstrained
(Cartesian). If the tables to be joined are small, the effect of an unconstrained join on
performance may be negligible, but if they are large, there may be a severe negative effect on
system performance.
69
Glossary
profiles A profile is a set of parameters assigned to a user, group of users, or an account that
determines what scheduling capabilities are available and how your Teradata Query Scheduler
scheduled requests server handles their scheduled requests.
R
request A message sent from an application program, such as Teradata DWM, to the
Teradata Database. In the Teradata Query Scheduler schedule request environment, a request
is the definition of the parameters and text associated with a schedule request.
results table/file In the Schedule Request environment, a results table or file is a database
table or a Windows file into which result data for a schedule request that is not self-contained
are stored.
results file storage A symbolic name to a root directory where scheduled requests results are
stored. A file storage location is mapped to a Windows root directory where results are stored.
RowID join In Teradata SQL, this join occurs when one of the join tables has a non-unique
primary index constant, and another column of that table matches weakly with a non-unique
secondary index column of the second table.
rule Rules are the name given to the method used by Teradata DWM to define what requests
are prohibited from being immediately executed on the Teradata Database. That is, the rules
enforced by Teradata DWM provide the Query Management capabilities.
S
scheduled requests The capability to store scripts of SQL requests and execute them at a
scheduled time in the future.
self-contained statement A query request that stores the result data that it generates, if any.
For example, an INSERT ... SELECT statement would be self-contained, whereas a SELECT
statement would not.
SQL Structured Query Language. An industry-standard language for creating, updating
and, querying relational database management systems. SQL was developed by IBM in the
1970s. It is the de facto standard as well as being an ISO and ANSI standard. It is often
embedded in general purpose programming languages. Programming language used to
communicate with the Teradata Database.
T
TDWM The database shared by Teradata Dynamic Workload Manager and Teradata Query
Scheduler. Previously called the dbqrymgr database.
Teradata DWM Teradata Dynamic Workload Manager. A Teradata tool used to create and
manage rules that manage access to a Teradata Database.
Teradata QS
Teradata Query Scheduler. A Teradata tool used to schedule SQL requests.
Teradata Tools and Utilities See TTU.
70
Glossary
TTU Teradata Tools and Utilities. A group of products designed to work with the Teradata
Database.
W
workgroups Workgroups represent collections of related scheduled request work for users,
user groups, or accounts. Each workgroup is assigned a maximum number of requests that
can be executing from that workgroup simultaneously thereby ensuring that requests for all
workgroups get a fair share of their scheduled work done within the execution time frames.
