This study will demonstrate how Unity Director 14.00 User Interface handles the initial configuration and setup activities users will face when starting to work with this product.

Unity Director handles data for mission critical applications that demand continuous high availability (HA), data location identification, session management, and data synchronization. It simplifies multiple Teradata Database system management tasks including routing users to the data location, rerouting users during an outage, and synchronizing database changes across Teradata Database systems. Unity Director integrates with Unity Ecosystem Manager to enable administrators to view system and table health, receive warning and critical alerts, and view analytics and statistics about data operations. As a bulk load option, Unity Director can utilize Unity Loader to selectively route large data loads from a client to Teradata systems without additional administrator operations.

In this article, I will be showing you how to establish Unity Director 14.00 routing rules which will enable you to efficiently load balance reports across multiple managed Teradata systems.

Unity Director 14.00 and Unity Loader 14.00 are now available!  Last year Teradata announced a new query management and data synchronization product to the marketplace.  Now we've taken it to the next level.  Unity Director 14.00 provides a new user interface, new and improved routing rules and scalable configuration options.  Unity Loader 14.00 is a new offering extending beyond the basic synchronization of SQL updates and now enabling the intelligent synchronization of high volume/bulk loads. 

Teradata Data Mover can be a valuable product to add into a dual system production environment either as a scheduled / triggered step in your load process or for ad-hoc re-synchronization of tables.

Teradata Unity 13.10, the latest enabling technology of the Teradata Analytical Ecosystem was formally announced at PARTNERS Conference 2011. The product’s focus is to simplify the analytical ecosystem by removing the everyday complexities involved in query management and data synchronization across multiple Teradata systems. Teradata Unity delivers on this strategy by way of product automation.

Teradata Unity serves as an abstraction layer for users and applications making multiple Teradata systems appear as a single Teradata database instance. Unity dynamically manages all the traditional activities around query routing and data synchronization creating a single integration layer for the Teradata ecosystem.

The Teradata Multi-System Manager (TMSM) product monitors and controls hardware components, processes, and data loads.  Ever wonder who is monitoring the monitor? The Internal Monitor should not be confused with the external fail over monitor, the fail over monitor is responsible for monitoring the TMSM Master.

This article would be useful to anyone attempting to better understand the TMSM Internal Monitor.

Teradata is pleased to announce the Teradata Multi-System Manager (TMSM) 14.00 release effective May 23^rd, 2012 (sorry, a little tardy on the release article).  This release is focused on customer enhancement requests, many of which were tied to extending the TMSM infrastructure to better suit customer environments and volume usage. The release includes focused performance improvements, portlet updates, enhancements to the API, and expanded browser support.

Data Mover is a Teradata Application that allows users to copy databases or tables between Teradata systems. It is a JEE based application that is composed of three major code components: the Client (Command-line interface or Viewpoint portlet), the Daemon, and the Agent. The Daemon is the central piece of the application and the Agent is a worker unit that does the actual job of moving data. Both the Damon and the Agent are deployed in a Linux managed server.

Teradata Multi-System Manager is an application for monitoring and administration of single and multi-system environments. TMSM Report Viewer allows TMSM (Teradata Multi-System Manager) users to create and view reports about the Teradata ecosystem using data collected by TMSM. The TMSM data model is in Appendix E of the Configuration Guide.  For more information about TMSM, please read this article.

This article provides information about TMSM reporting capabilities, shows how to create custom reports, and reviews the out-of-the-box reports provided.
