Teradata Multiload stage

The Teradata Multiload stage uses the Teradata MultiLoad utility or the Teradata TPump utility to load data into a Teradata database. It uses the Teradata FastExport utility to read data from a Teradata database.

When you use IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® to access Teradata databases, you can choose from a collection of connectivity options. For most new jobs, use the Teradata Connector stage, which offers better functionality and performance than the Teradata Multiload stage.

If you have jobs that use the Teradata Multiload stage and want to use the connector, use the Connector Migration Tool to migrate jobs to use the connector.
