What is Teradata Mapping Manager?

Teradata Mapping Manager is a mapping tool for creating and maintaining data
mapping documentation. By providing an easy-to-use mapping interface, a relational
mapping metadata repository, and mapping functionality, this tool is intended to
reduce time to solution for building and supporting data warehouse architectures.
Design consumes much of the time in delivering a data warehouse project. Mapping
plays an important role in design work and in properly scoping development work.
Data mapping is usually a very labor-intensive and manual process.
Data mapping specifications are documented in various formats and are usually
hard to use beyond the context of a single project.
Data mapping documentation in a non-relational format limits analysis and reuse.
Most mapping tools are focused on use by developers rather than a broader
audience of data and requirements mappers, which may include less technical
users.
July 2015

Introduction
Teradata Mapping Manager is designed to address all these issues, combining the
flexibility and ease-of-use of state-of-the-art spreadsheet applications with the power
and capabilities of a relational database. The tool provides easier mapping to industry
standards or for compliance, aids in accelerating data integration efforts, and allows
easier collaboration and re-use of mappings.
Note: Teradata Mapping Manager is not intended to replace ETL automation or ETL
code generation tools.
Who Should Use Teradata Mapping Manager?

Data modelers, data analysts, and others who create and use data mappings, such as
ETL developers and business analysts, can use Teradata Mapping Manager. It is
assumed you are familiar with using other Windows-based applications, data
modeling terminology and structures, and have experience creating or using some type
of data models.
You do not need to be familiar with physical data modeling nor have experience in
Teradata implementation such as SQL or ETL (extract, transform, load) development.
Features
Following is the list of features included in this release of Teradata Mapping Manager.
Flexible, easy-to-use interface for creating and managing mappings
Support for mapping notes to provide essential information to business analysts,

ETL developers, and others
Import data models, requirement lists, source system flat file structures, etc.
(called data representations) and, optionally, mappings between these data
representations. Import sources include ERwin and Excel and exports can be
viewed in Excel.
Support for mapping to and from data elements, data structures, subject areas,
literals (user-defined fixed value), and data representations.
Custom ERwin reports for creating import files for ERwin data models and PK to
FK mappings
Mapping gap identification
Mapping discovery using the Auto-Find Potential Mappings algorithms including

full string exact match, best match based on the longest common subsequence
algorithm, short-list mapping (select mapping destination from a short list of data
elements based on similar mappings) and cross-mapping (using existing mappings
to identify new mappings) to automatically find and create new mappings
Automatic copying of mappings when importing a new version of a data

representation
July 2015

Introduction
Data representation and mapping metadata stored in a relational database, with a

set of published views of this metadata to enable user-defined reports, analysis,
connectors, etc.
Pre-defined mapping reports
Basic/simple SQL generation of INSERTSELECT and REPLACE VIEW SQL

statements
Collaborative mapping using a shared networked Teradata server and applicationlevel features to protect against multi-user metadata corruption problems
Local mapping metadata storage using Teradata Express for Windows or

VMWare on your PC and remote/shared mapping and metadata storage using a
networked Teradata server
Acquisition layer generation of DDL, scripts and GCFR metadata registration to

quickly build and load a structured acquisition layer (requires ACQGen external
application/PS asset, only available for use by Teradata professional services
consultants)
Whats New in the Latest Point Release

See the following web page for a list of added features by point/patch release:
What's New in TMM (DevX)
Supported Languages and Character Sets

Localization of Graphical User Interface
In this release of Teradata Mapping Manager, all text fields support user input and
editing using the Win-1252/ANSI character set in addition to US-ASCII. Therefore,
single-byte character Western European languages are supported.
Localization is currently only supported for US English.
Double-byte character languages are not certified but should work. (we are looking for
a beta site to complete certification of this capability)
Import and Export File Supported Languages and Character Sets
Comma delimited (.csv) files are used for importing and exporting. The Win1252/ANSI character set, in addition to US-ASCII, is supported for importing,
therefore, single-byte character US and Western European languages are supported.
Double-byte character languages are not supported, although copy and paste of custom
property values should work.
The default csv separator character is a comma, however, you can change this in the
tool preferences for compatibility. For example, some Western European computers
use semi-colon list separators. Import templates are provided for both comma and
semi-colon separators.
Help File Supported Languages and Character Sets
Help files are in U.S. English.

Introduction
July 2015

Minimum System Requirements

The pre-requisites and minimum system requirements for Teradata Mapping Manager
are as follows:
Pentium-class PC
Minimum of 1GB of memory for Win XP or 4 GB for Win 7.

Note: This minimum is for all configurations except when using Teradata Express
for VMware on your local PC, which requires a minimum of 4GB (for minimally
acceptable performance) or 8 GB (for better performance)
Teradata Express 13.0 for Windows, Teradata Express 13.10, 14.0, 14.10 or 15.00
for VMware, or remote connection to a Teradata 13, 14 or 15 Server
Notes:
If your PC is running Win XP (SP 3), install Teradata Express 13.0 for
Windows for best local repository performance.
If you already have Teradata Express 12 installed on your PC, you can use
this version.
For collaborative mapping or to use Teradata Mapping Manager over a shared

network, get remote access to a Teradata 13, 14 or 15 server.
See Appendix A for additional requirements for Teradata Express for

VMware.
Windows requirements:
-
Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit) or Windows XP, Service Pack 3
Minimum of 115 MB of disk space for TMM
See the specific version of Teradata Express that you will be using for disk
requirements if installing it on your PC. The newer versions have larger minimum
virtual disk capacity which results in a much larger install footprint, so you may
want to use an older version. TDE 14.0 for VMware 4GB is a good choice (around
13.6 GB install footprint).
Performance Considerations
There are several things that can impact the performance of Teradata Mapping
Manager. These include using a remote instance of a Teradata Mapping Manager
repository, large amounts of data in the repository, many users of a repository, and
preference settings. See the following section in this document: Set Teradata Mapping
Manager Preferences, and the topic Improving Performance in the online help
(under Introduction to Teradata Mapping Manager) for important information on
how to get the best performance, especially for manual mapping operations.
July 2015

Installing on PCs with Limited Disk Space

The following instructions assume you will be installing Teradata Express.
If you do not have enough disk space available on your hard drive, you can use a
smaller version of Teradata Express or purchase an external hard drive (or USB
thumb drive) and install Teradata Express for VMware on it (and Teradata Mapping
Manager too if the 115MB makes a difference).
Install with Smallest Database Size
If you choose the 512MB database size, you must delete unneeded databases from
Teradata Express to free up enough disk space to create a repository data base for
Teradata Mapping Manager. See the section Delete Sample Databases.
TD Express for VMware 14.0 is the newest version to offer a 4GB virtual disk space.
Newer versions start at 40GB which really drives up the install footprint. 14.0 is a
good choice if you have 13.6 GB of disk space or so.
Install on External Hard Drive
To install on an external hard drive, simply install each component and when
prompted, change the install directory to your external hard drive.
Note: If you install Teradata Express on an external hard drive, that hard drive must be
plugged into the computer when you boot up; otherwise, when you attempt to start up
the Teradata database, you will receive a message indicating that you need to re-boot.
Installing on PCs with Non-administrative Privileges

If you do not have administrative privileges on the PC you plan to install or use
Teradata Mapping Manager from, you should try to install Teradata Mapping Manager
to your \My Documents folder or another folder for which you have write permissions
(for example, \My Documents\Teradata Mapping Manager\Program Files). The install
wizard offers an option to change the default install location.
If you try to install or use Teradata Mapping Manager on a PC for which you do not
have administrator privileges or write permissions to the C:\Program Files folder, you
will receive an error message indicating certain files could not be written to the
C:\Program Files folder or that certain files could not be created. If you have already
installed Teradata Mapping Manager, then uninstall it and re-install it to your \My
Documents folder. If a user with administrative privileges installed the tool, they will
need to uninstall it.
Note: If you receive a similar error message, first ensure that your disk is not full as
that situation can produce similar error messages.
For many or most environments where a PC user is not allowed to login as a Windows
administrative user, the User Account Control settings, or some other security
policy/software, will not allow the user to run an install program even if the target
location is under youre My Documents folder. In that situation, you may need to have
a Windows administrator install Teradata Mapping Manager for you using the full
explicit path to one of your my Documents folders (for program files), then make sure
you have appropriate permissions to the install files/folders..
July 2015

If an administrator installs Teradata Mapping Manager for you, then you will be
logging into the PC with a different username to use Teradata Mapping Manager, then
the default local non-Program Files file storage will be under a My Documents folder
for the administrator and not for you. In this case, there is a feature under Tools >
Preferences > Startup tab that allows you to move the default non-Program Files file
storage location to a folder that you can read and write. Press the Change button on
this tab to activate this feature.
For more details on having an administrator install Teradata Mapping Manager for a
non-admin user, see the Teradata Mapping Manager in-application help topic:
Introduction to Teradata Mapping Manager > Special instructions for using
TMM as Windows non-admin user
...or Teradata employees can download this topic in white paper form from the
Teradata Mapping Manager sharepoint:

Uninstall the older version Teradata Mapping

Manager before installing the newer version.
Next, install the new version. When you start
Teradata Mapping Manager and connect to the
repository, the repository is automatically
migrated if necessary (after a confirmation
dialog).
See the section Migrating from a Previous
Version of Teradata Mapping Manager for
guidelines when you have multiple users of a
repository.
July 2015

Complete the following steps if you are installing the software for the first time on a
Windows XP or Windows 7 system and do not need a step-by-step, detailed
walkthrough of the installation process. If you will be using Teradata over a shared
network, skip the first step regarding installing Teradata Express. If you encounter any
issues or need additional information for a particular step, see the section Installing the
Software.
1. If you do not already have Teradata installed on your PC and if you do not have
access to a networked Teradata server for use as a Teradata Mapping Manager
metadata repository, then install Teradata Express for VMware on your PC. See
Appendix A: Installing and Using Teradata Express for VMware for instructions.
2. To install Teradata Mapping Manager, go to Teradata Developer Exchange and
the Teradata Mapping Manager download page at
http://downloads.teradata.com/download/tools/teradata-mapping-manager.
3. Continue with the section Starting Teradata Mapping Manager for the First Time
to create and set up a repository database and tool preferences.
July 2015

Installing the Software

To use Teradata Mapping Manager, you need a Teradata database and Teradata
Mapping Manager. Teradata Express provides you a local Teradata database. If you
will be using Teradata over a shared network, skip any instructions regarding Teradata
Express installation and setup.
Install and Set-Up Teradata Express

A Teradata database is required to use Teradata Mapping Manager. This database will
hold the Teradata Mapping Manager repository.
If you are only going to be using a pre-existing networked Teradata server for your
Teradata Mapping Manager repository, then you can skip the installation and set-up of
Teradata Express.
If you need to use Teradata Mapping Manager without connecting to a networked
Teradata Server, then you will need a TMM-supported version of Teradata Express
database installed on your PC. You could also install Teradata Express on a networked
system and use it as a shareable, networked Teradata server for the Teradata Mapping
Manager repository.
Notes:
If you already have Teradata Express 12 for Windows installed on your PC, it is
not necessary or recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Teradata Express
to use the current version of Teradata Mapping Manager.
Uninstall Previous Versions of Teradata Express

If you want to run Teradata Mapping Manager locally from your PC, you must use
either Teradata Express 13.0 for Windows (recommended and supported only if you
have Windows XP), Teradata Express 13.10, 14.0, 14.10 or 15.0 for VMware, or
Teradata Express 12 (Windows XP only). If you have a version of Teradata Express
prior to 12 installed, you should migrate to the recommended version.
To migrate to Teradata Express 13, 14 or 15, you must back up any repositories you
want to migrate, and then uninstall Teradata Express and the related Teradata Tools
and Utilities (TTU) before installing Teradata Express 13, 14 or 15. There may be
limitations on how many versions of Teradata Express you can migrate data from/to.
See the Teradata Express documentation if you need to do this, especially if you want
to skip 2 or more point releases (e.g. 13.10 to 15.0). Exit Teradata Mapping Manager
before backing up or restoring.
Important! Be sure to do the backup before you uninstall Teradata Express because
the uninstall process deletes the entire database.
1. Back up the Teradata Mapping Manager repository.
You need Teradata ARC and Teradata BTEQ, included with the Teradata Tools
and Utilities (TTU), to create and restore the archive. If you do not have these
installed, install the latest version.
July 2015
10

Instructions and files for backing up and restoring the repository are located in the
following folder:
\My Documents\Teradata Mapping Manager\Backup
See the Backup Readme.pdf file for instructions.
Tip: It is also a good idea to export all of your mappings to csv file as an
emergency backup, in case the Teradata Express data migration has problems.
Also export your data representations if you do not already have import files for
them that represent the current state of the data representations.
2. Uninstall Teradata Express and the Teradata Tools and Utilities.
See your Teradata Express documentation for this. The location of this
documentation varies by release.
Install Teradata Express

The following versions of Teradata Express are supported as the database for Teradata
Mapping Managers repository:
1. Teradata Express 12.0 or 13.0 for Windows (only if already installed because the
install package is no longer available)
2. Teradata Express 13.10, 14.0, 14.10 or 15.0 for VMware. This is supported on
Windows XP (SP3) and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64 bit). See Appendix A: Installing
and Using Teradata Express for VMware for installation instructions.
Restore Teradata Mapping Manager Repository

If you backed up one or more Teradata Mapping Manager repositories from a previous
version of Teradata Express and you want to restore them for use with the new version
of Teradata Express, follow the instructions in the Backup Readme.pdf file located in
the following folder:
\My Documents\Teradata Mapping Manager\Backup
Or see the Back Up and Restore a Repository topic in the Teradata Mapping
Manager in-application help system under Working with Repositories.
Note: If you run into issues restoring the repository, see the Teradata Express
documentation for help.
Delete Sample Databases

If you installed Teradata Express and selected the database size of 256MB or 512MB,
you need to delete the sample databases to have enough space to create the Teradata
Mapping Manager repository. Also, if you restored multiple Teradata Mapping
July 2015
11

Manager repositories, but have determined you no longer need one or more of them,
you can delete them to free up database space.
To delete the Teradata Express sample databases and unneeded Teradata Mapping
Manager repositories from the Teradata Express database, you can use Teradata
Administrator. This is included with the Teradata Tools and Utilities you installed
with Teradata Express. Complete the following steps:
1. Shut down Teradata Mapping Manager if it is running.
2. From the Windows Start menu, click All Programs, then Teradata
Administrator <X.X>.
Note: If the Windows Installer dialog box displays, just click Cancel. You may
need to do this multiple times.
3. In the Please Select a Data Source dialog box, select DEMOTDAT if it is not
already selected and click OK.
If DEMOTDAT does not exist, create it in Teradata Administrator as follows:
a. From the File menu, choose Define Data Source.
b. Click on the System DSN tab.
c. Click Add.
d. Scroll to the end of the list, select Teradata and click Finish.
e. Enter the following in each specified field:
Name: DEMOTDAT
Name(s) or IP Address(es): See appendix A or C for Teradata IP
Address, depending on the version of Teradata Express you are using.

Password: dbc
f.
Click OK.
g. Click Yes to the warning about storing passwords.

h. Click OK to close the ODBC Administrator dialog box.
4. Select Connect from the File menu.
5. Select DEMOTDAT from the list of data sources in the
Please Select a Data Source dialog.
6. Click OK. After a few seconds, the left pane displays.
7. In the left pane, expand the Samples database as shown
in the picture to the right.
8. Complete the following steps to delete a sample
database:
a. Select the database to delete (for example,
financial).

b. From the File menu, choose Drop All Objects in Database.
c. Click Delete in the Delete Database dialog box.
d. From the File menu, click Drop. Click Drop in the Drop Database dialog
box.
e. Repeat these steps for each database under Samples (manufacturing, retail,
tpch, and so on).
9. When you have deleted all the sample databases, select the Samples database,
then from the File menu, click Drop. Click Drop in the Drop Database dialog
box. This step frees up the needed space.
10. From the File menu, click Disconnect, then click Yes.
11. From the File menu, click Exit to close Teradata Administrator.
Install Teradata Mapping Manager

The Teradata Mapping Manager install program installs Teradata Mapping Manager
and the appropriate version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The JRE will be
installed under the C:\Program Files\ Teradata Mapping Manager\bin\java folder and
will only be used by Teradata Mapping Manager.
User Rights
The Teradata Mapping Manager installation assumes that you have Windows
administrative privileges. If you do not have full administrative Windows privileges,
then it is still possible to install and use the tool.
First, do the following:
During the Teradata Mapping Manager installation, select an installation folder

where you have read and write privileges. The folder \My Documents\Teradata
Mapping Manager\Program Files is recommended.
If this does not work (you receive error messages indicating that certain files could
not be created or that you do not have the appropriate permissions), check the
following:
Your login user must belong to the Windows Users group. You can verify this
by performing the following steps:
1. Right-click on My Computer or Computer on your desktop and select
Manage.
The Computer Management dialog box displays.
2. Expand folder in left pane tree named Local Users and Groups.
3. Double-click on the Groups folder to show groups in right pane.
4. Double-click on each of the following groups to show a list of users in that
group:
Administrators
July 2015
13

Power Users
Users
Verify that your user is in one of the groups. (It is possible that other user
groups can install and use Teradata Mapping Manager, but we have not
verified it).
5. Close the Computer Management dialog box and any other dialog boxes
you opened.
You must have access to the Teradata database instance where Teradata Mapping
Manager will be storing its metadata. You can test this by using Teradata
Administrator to connect to that database. There are additional database privileges

Starting Teradata Mapping Manager for the First

Time
If you installed Teradata Mapping Manager for the first time, complete the steps in
this section to create and connect to a Teradata database repository and set up the tool.
Start Teradata Database

At the end of the Teradata Mapping Manager install, there is an option set by default
to run Teradata Mapping Manager when the install completes. If you left this option
checked, Teradata Mapping Manager was started, but the Teradata database must be
started to continue. If you are using a remote Teradata Server, the database should
already be running, so you can skip to the next section.
If you are using Teradata Express for VMware, follow the instructions in this section
of Appendix A:
Using TD Express/Linux Virtual Machine
Continue following these instructions though the succeeding sections of Appendix A
until Teradata is started.
Start Teradata Mapping Manager

If Teradata Mapping Manager is not yet running, start it using either of the following
methods:
Double-click the desktop icon
From the Windows Start menu, click the following:
Start > All Programs > Teradata Mapping Manager > Teradata Mapping
Manager
Warning! If you migrated to a new version of Teradata Mapping Manager, the next
time you connect to an existing repository, it will be migrated to the new version (with
a few exceptions where the macros and/or repository structure did not change). All
users of the database need to use a compatible version of the tool for a given
repository version. See the section, Migrating from a Previous Version of Teradata
Mapping Manager.
Note: If you receive an error message indicating certain files could not be created
when you try to start the tool, you may not have the appropriate Windows user
permissions. See Installing on PCs with Non-administrative Privileges.
Continue with the next section to create a repository.
Create and Connect to a Repository

You must create a repository to store all the data representations you import and the
mappings you create. If you are using Teradata Express on your local PC and want to
July 2015
16

create a new repository database under the root, DBC database, (simplest
recommended configuration) complete the steps below.
For other configurations, such as creating a repository on a networked Teradata server
or creating a repository in Teradata Express under a database other than DBC, you can
also follow the steps below. If you need more information, refer to the help topic
Create a Repository in the in-application help system. To locate this topic, from the
Help menu, choose Help Topics, then in the Table of Contents, expand Working
with Repositories.
Notes:
If you installed Teradata Express with a database size of 512MB or smaller, you
must delete the sample databases that come with Teradata Express to have enough
space to create the repository for Teradata Mapping Manager. If you have not
done this already, complete the instructions in Delete Sample Databases.
If you want to connect to an existing repository created using Teradata Mapping

Manager instead of creating a new one, see Migrating from a Previous Version of
Teradata Mapping Manager.
To create a new repository and connect to it, complete the following steps:
1. If the Welcome to Teradata Mapping Manager dialog box is displayed, click
Create. If not, from the Tools menu, click Create Repository Database.
The Create Repository Database dialog box displays.

2. Unless you have been instructed to create the repository tables in an existing
database, select Create repository in a new database. This is the typical option
to use when creating a new repository.
If a database administrator, or someone else, has already created an empty
database to hold the repository tables for your Teradata Mapping Manager, select
Create repository in an existing database. Use this option with care as it will
delete all of the contents of the existing database.
The options that display in the dialog box depend on which option you select in
this step.
July 2015
17

3. If you are creating a repository in a new database in Teradata Database Express,
enter the following information to use dbc as the parent database and
TMM_Repository (or other name as desired) as the new database name:
Name or IP Address: If using Teradata Express for Windows, then enter
127.0.0.1.
If using Teradata Express for VMware, then see the following section of
Appendix A for instructions to find the Teradata IP Address: Accessing
Teradata from Host.
If you are using a networked Teradata server, ask the database administrator
for the IP address, Teradata Process ID or DNS Name.
Authentication Method: Select ldap if using a networked Teradata server
that is using ldap authentication, else leave blank.
Existing Parent Database Name: dbc
Existing Parent Database Username: dbc
Parent Database Password: dbc
New Database Name: TMM_Repository
Authentication Method: Select ldap if using a networked Teradata server
that is using ldap authentication, else leave blank.
New or Existing Database Username: <user name>
Database Password: <password>
Confirm Database Password: <password>
If you want to create the repository database under a different parent database,
specify the IP address, database name, username, and password for that parent
database.
Important!
Make sure the Existing Parent Database User has the appropriate CREATE
and GRANT rights. By default, the Teradata Database Express root database
user, dbc, has these rights.
It is strongly recommended that the parent database not be a production

database used by another application or other users. The repository is a
metadata database. Teradata Mapping Managers use of this database is OLTP
(on-line transaction processing) in nature and uses a lot of resource locking to
protect the metadata from multi-user deadlocks or corruption. This sort of
OLTP application usage of a decision support data warehouse can cause
serious performance issues for the decision support applications.
4. In the Select Repository Size (Perm Space) section, select the size you want the
new repository to be using the following guidelines:
150 MB - Choose this option if you installed Teradata Express with a 256MB or
512MB database.
July 2015
18

2000 MB - Choose this option if you installed Teradata Express with a 4GB or
larger database or you are using a different database instance with adequate
space.
User-Defined Value - Choose this option and enter a value (100MB minimum) if
you want to specify another size for the repository.
An example of a completed dialog box is shown below.
5. Click Create Repository. As the repository is created, the status is displayed in

the text box at the bottom of the dialog box.
Notes:
If you receive the following error message, there is not enough space to create
the repository:
Not enough perm space. The request to assign permanent space to create
TMM repository is invalid.
Choose a smaller database size or delete the sample databases that came with
Teradata Express if you have not already done this. See the section Delete
Sample Databases. If you are trying to create a repository on a networked
server, contact the database administrator and request more perm space in the
parent database.
If you receive a message that the connection is not available, Teradata may
not be started. See Start Teradata Database if you have Teradata installed on
July 2015
19

your local PC or contact your Teradata database administrator if you are using
a networked Teradata server.
If you receive a warning that you do not have the appropriate user rights, ask
your database administrator to give you the required rights. Click the Help
button in the warning dialog for more details. This help topic also discusses
some options where the database administrator creates an empty database and
Teradata Mapping Manager database users, so that you do not need the
database rights to create databases or users.
6. When complete, click OK. You are connected to the new repository.

Mapping Manager
Migrating from Teradata Mapping Manager v1.0 or Later
If you are migrating from Teradata Mapping Manager v1.0 or later, then the next time
you start Teradata Mapping Manager and connect to a repository, Teradata Mapping
Manager attempts to automatically migrate the repository to the current version, after
you agree to the confirmation/warning dialog.
Warning! All users of the database will need to use a compatible version of the tool
for a given repository version. This repository migration may force other users to
upgrade their version of Teradata Mapping Manager.
Before migrating the repository, Teradata Mapping Manager queries Teradata to see if
there are other users connected to it. By default, Teradata Mapping Manager does not
migrate the repository if another user with a different database username is connected
to it. If there are non-Teradata Mapping Manager applications that remain connected
to the repository, you can ignore the users associated with each of these applications
by adding those user names to an Ignore Users list in the preferences. To do this,
complete the following steps:
1. Exit the migration confirmation/warning dialog box without migrating.
2. From the Tools menu, select Preferences.
3. Click the Ignore Users tab.
4. To add a user to ignore, in the first text box, enter the name of a user to ignore,
then click Add.
5. To remove a user from the list, in the bottom list box, select the username, then
click Remove.
6. When done, click OK.
7. To complete the migration, connect to the repository.
You can do this by exiting and restarting Teradata Mapping Manager if you have
preferences set to automatically connect to the repository on startup, or you can
choose the Establish Connection option from the Tools menu.

Teradata Mapping Manager Concepts

There are several terms and concepts that you need to understand before using
Teradata Mapping Manager. Lets start by looking at the basics of the mapping
process.
To create mappings, you need specifications of the data models, requirement lists, or
other data files, such as source data flat files, that will be mapped to each other. These
are called data representations. For example, to map a data source (in flat file format)
to a logical data model (LDM), you need two data representations: the specification of
the source data flat file as well as the specification of the logical data model itself.
You import these data representations into the Teradata Mapping Manager repository,
then create working data sets from them to be used to create your mappings. You
assign one data representation as the origin and the other as the destination, then create
mappings between them.
There are several methods to create mappings, including manually creating mappings
or automatically finding and creating mappings through mapping discovery. Mapping
discovery uses various algorithms to identify potential mappings including simple
name match, longest common subsequence algorithm, short-list mapping (select a
mapping destination data element from a short list of elements derived based on
mappings from related origin elements or from parent data structure) and crossmapping (using existing A to B and B to C mappings to identify new A to C
mappings).
A map set contains a view of the mappings between two working data sets. You can
export one or more map sets to create a mapping specification; for example, for the
ETL developers. You can also create mapping reports that show mappings between
more than two working data sets to export for use by business analysts and others.
The following sections describe the italicized terms in more detail.
What is a Data Representation?

A data representation is a data model, such as an LDM or PDM, application data
model, or other data construct, such as a source data flat file, or list of requirements
used to represent how a related set of data or requirements is structured. A data
representation contains data structures such as entities, tables, or files and their
corresponding data elements such as attributes, columns, or fields, respectively. The
July 2015
28

diagram below shows the two parts of a data representation (data structure and data
element) and examples of data representations.
A data representation may also contain subject areas, which are logical groupings of
data structures.
Data representations are imported into Teradata Mapping Manager to create working
data sets for mapping.
What is a Working Data Set?

A working data set is a view of an imported data representation that is configured
(displayed in a window, organized, sorted and filtered) to facilitate mapping. A
working data set is automatically created when you import a data representation. The
content of a working data set is displayed in a data set window as shown in the
following picture.
It is possible for multiple users to each have their own working data set view of an
imported data representation, each with their own set of columns displayed, sort
criteria and/or filter criteria, without the need to duplicate the data representation in
the metadata repository.
For example, a working data set for an imported LDM may be created and configured
to show selected columns (properties), such as Data Structure Name (entity name),
Data Element Name (attribute name), and Data Element Definition, in a specific order
with rows sorted by Data Structure Name and Data Element Name as shown in the
following picture.
What is a Map Set?

A map set contains a view of the individual repository mappings between two selected
working data sets. Each mapping relates two mapping objects, each of which can be a
data element, data structure, subject area, literal, or data representation. One or more
July 2015
29

map sets and/or mapping reports could be exported to help create a mapping
specification.

The contents of a map set (properties of the origin and destination plus any custom
properties) are displayed in a map set window as shown below.
What are Custom and System Properties?

Properties include names, descriptions, and other types of information about the data
representations, subject areas, data structures, data elements, map sets, and other
objects stored in the repository. Properties are either system (defined by Teradata
Mapping Manager) or custom (defined by you). System properties are categorized as,
required or optional.
For example, a data structure has a required system property of Data Structure Name
and optional system properties of Subject Area Name, Data Structure Type Code, and
others. These are shown in the following picture of the Working Data Set Properties
dialog box.
July 2015
30

You can create custom properties for data representations, data structures, data
elements, and mappings to store relevant information to assist in creating and reusing
mappings. Following are some examples of how you could use custom properties.
For a logical data model you are importing, you could create a custom property
in the corresponding data representation import file called Structure Action
Status to indicate the status of each entity (Required, Not Required).
For the same logical data model you are importing, you could create a custom
property for categories used to group related logical data model attributes. You
could then use these categories along with criteria filters in the tool to facilitate
mapping.
What is Mapping Discovery?

Mapping discovery is a feature of Teradata Mapping Manager that finds potential
mappings between two data representations based on several algorithms, including
simple name matching between selected properties of the data representations. For
example, when mapping one version of a logical data model (LDM) to another to trace
lineage, many of the entity and attribute names may be exactly the same in both
versions. Teradata Mapping Manager can find these matches and then give you the
option to create those mappings or discard them. There is also a Best Match algorithm
that finds the closest property value matches between data structures and data
elements in two data representations.
July 2015
31

What is Cross-mapping?
Cross-mapping is the process of generating mappings between two working data sets
not linked directly to each other using intermediate mappings. For example, if A is
mapped to B and B is mapped to C, then Teradata Mapping Manager can use crossmapping to map A to C.
In Teradata Mapping Manager, cross-mapping is one of the methods used by the

mapping discovery feature.

Known Problems and Workarounds

Problem: Nothing happens when you try to start Teradata Mapping Manager.
Workaround: See Appendix B How to Debug Problems Starting TMM for
suggested fixes and workarounds.
Problem: The default Java libraries ignore carriage return (0x0D, ASCII code
13) when rendering grids and/or text edit boxes. Also, a multi-line text string
using new-line (aka line feed, 0x0A, ASCII code 10) as line separator is not
fully rendered (only first line is rendered) in a grid cell unless auto-wrap is
turned on, although it is properly rendered in the multi-line grid edit dialog
box. It is believed that all other non-whitespace, non-printable characters will
be rendered as a square symbol in the user interface.
Workaround: For carriage return, there is no method to detect this character
using the Teradata Mapping Manager user interface, although the character is
properly stored in the metadata repository on import and is properly exported.
For new-line, you can do one of the following:
Hover your cursor over the grid cell containing a new-line, the tool-tip should
appear showing all lines of the grid cell.
Enable the auto-wrap option: open Tools > Preferences > Other and check
the option:
Enable word-wrap and auto-fit for all grid cells.
Double-click on the grid cell to open a grid edit dialog, which will properly
render the new-lines.
Problem: When copying NULL values from Excel, paste does not work
properly in all cases.
July 2015
34

Support
Workaround: If you are copying a range of cells from Excel, and if the
bottom row has all blank/NULL values, then you paste this range of cells into a
Teradata Mapping Manager grid, the NULL row(s) at the bottom of the range
may be ignored. This appears to be a bug in the Java Runtime Environment so
there is no estimated fix date. The problem can occur if the range is a single
column wide or multiple columns wide. The workaround is to only copy ranges
from Excel that do not have all blanks cells in the bottom row.
Problem: When using ERwin Report Builder (ERwin 7.x) to export a data
element import file when the model has entities/tables with no
attributes/columns, the report output file will have row(s) with blank data
element name (required import field).
Workaround:
1) Use the Query Tool reports that are also provided with the Teradata
Mapping Manager installation OR
2) Either delete these rows from the import file or ignore the associated errors
generated by the import wizard. For more details, see the Help topic the help
topic Using ERwin Report Builder to Create Data Representation Import
Files under Importing and Exporting > Using ERwin Reports to Create
Import Files.
Problem: When using ERwin Report Builder (ERwin 7.x) to export a data
structure to subject area import file when the model has subject areas with no
entities/tables, the report output file will have row(s) with blank data structure
name (required import field).
Workaround:
1) Use the Query Tool reports that are also provided with the Teradata
Mapping Manager installation OR
2) Either delete these rows from the import file or ignore the associated errors
generated by the import wizard. See the help topic Using ERwin Report
Builder to Create Data Representation Import Files under Importing and

13GB disk space (minimum) for installation of 4GB version of Teradata

Express (14.0). Lesser amounts of disk space required for earlier versions.
4 GB minimum of system RAM for poor performance or 8 GB recommended

for decent performance. The 4GB minimum is based on our experience
running TDE 13.10 and 14.0 versions for VMware on a Windows 7 PC,
allocating 2GB to VMware. 8GB (4GB allocated to VMware) gives a
noticeable performance improvement, but is still a lot slower than using nonVMware-based Teradata over a fast network connection.
See the following link for an introduction to Teradata Express for VMware Player:
http://developer.teradata.com/database/articles/introduction-to-teradata-express-forvmware-player
Here is the Teradata Express for VMware installation guide, on the Teradata
Developer Exchange:

Use this guide to download and install VMware Player and Teradata Express. In case
the user guide does not mention this, the vmware executable file has a .vmx file
extension.
For TMM usage, it is not required to read the following 3 sections of the user guide:

Download and Install Tools and Utilities (TTU)

It appears that TTU 13.0 can co-exist with TTU 13.10 applications, but you may want
to use Add/Remove Programs to remove TTU 13.0 before installing TTU 13.10 or
14.0. As a rule, TTU applications of a given version can access older Teradata
versions (at least 2 point releases back, I think) along with the same Teradata version
but these TTU applications sometimes will not work with a newer version of Teradata
(without upgrading to the same version of TTU).
1. Go to Teradata Developer Exchange site (http://developer.teradata.com/) and
download the latest (non-beta) TTU package.
Click on Downloads on the right side of the results window, or download from
the following URL:
http://downloads.teradata.com/download/tools/teradata-tools-and-utilitieswindows-installation-package
2. Run the install package. It will take a while, but it is a silent installation so you do
not need to be present during installation.
3. Update any scripts you have that call TTU applications to use the correct path and
filename; for example, when upgrading from TTU 13.0 to 13.10, arcmain.exe and
bteq.exe have a similar path, with 13.0 changing to 13.10 in the pathname. If
you have any back/restore scripts using these applications, then you would either
need to edit the path in the scripts or use the filenames without a path and add a
high priority path in the Windows PATH environment variable that points to the
appropriate TTU folder(s).
Using TD Express/Linux Virtual Machine

1. Start VMware Player.
The first time you use a virtual machine you may need to open it using the Open
Virtual Machine option on the startup page.
Open the TDE 13.10, 14.0, 14.10 or 15.0 folder that you extracted under
C:\virtual-machines (or wherever).
After opening for the first time, the virtual machine is in a list on the left pane of
the startup page and you can just double-click on it.
2. If you are asked to upgrade VMware tools, I would recommend that you respond
No. They are not needed for basic TMM repository usage. If you decide to
upgrade, it is not a trivial exercise and you may need help from a VMware expert.
(Note: Backup readme v4.pdf or later versions have instructions in appendix A for
installing Vmware tools. This is required to allow copy/paste from Windows to
the Linux guest OS. This readme file is found under My Documents\Teradata
Mapping Manager\Backup after installing TMM.)
3. Enter root (without quotes) for both the login and password.
July 2015

After a few minutes, you should see a desktop with a few folders and program
icons, including a Teradata Tools folder and a Gnome Terminal program icon.
(Some beta versions of Teradata Express do not have a graphical user interface
and only provide a command line interface. You can type the same commands in
this interface as mentioned below except that Gedit is not available. With this
interface, you will need to press CTRL+ALT keys simultaneously to return
control to the Windows host operating system. When Windows has control and
you want to activate the Linux guest OS command line window, which may be
completely blank, click in the middle of that window and press Enter to show the
command prompt.)
4. (First time only) If you have 4GB or more of system RAM, you may want to
increase the memory size used by the virtual machine to improve performance. To
do this, select Virtual Machine (top menu bar) > Virtual Machine Settings >
Hardware tab > Memory.
Move the slider bar on the right up to about 2GB if you have 4GB of system RAM
Move the slider bar on the right up to about 4GB if you have 8GB of system
RAM.
(If you have 8GB of RAM, this 4GB setting can improve performance quite a bit.
If you have 16GB, you may want to allocate 12GB to VMware)
Click OK.
Start Teradata
Teradata should start automatically when the virtual machine starts, but it may take a
minute or so. If it does not start, complete step 1 below. If you want to check the status
of Teradata to see if it has fully started, complete step 2.
1. Start Teradata manually as follows:
Double-click on the Teradata Tools folder to open a folder browser window.
Double-click on the Start Teradata program icon. Currently, there is no

automatic feedback on when Teradata has actually started, so you will need to
use the pdestate application (step 2).
2. To check the status of Teradata:

a. Double-click on Gnome Terminal to open it, if it is not already open.
(In some versions of Teradata Express for VMware, Gnome Terminal is not
default installed on the desktop. See Backup Readme v4.pdf or later, chapter
5, for instructions to place Gnome Terminal application icon on desktop.)
b. In the Gnome Terminal, type:
pdestate a
Repeat this until you get a status of:
PDE state is RUN/STARTED
July 2015
40

Logons are enabled...
You now should be able to access Teradata from the host (local PC) operating system.
If Teradata remains in the state DOWN/HARSTOP, then it is possible that Teradata
crashed or was manually stopped. Try the following command to start Teradata:
/etc/init.d/tpa start
If that does not work, then you may need to stop Teradata and remove a crash file
before restarting, as follows:
/etc/init.d/tpa stop
rm /var/opt/teradata/tdtemp/PanicLoopDetected
/etc/init.d/tpa start
Accessing Teradata from Host

Note: Do not change the VMware network configuration from the default NAT
option, unless you are a VMware networking expert who knows how to make things
work in the other configurations.
The default method for accessing Teradata from the host PC (i.e. Teradata Mapping
Manager running on Win 7 PC) is to use the Teradata IP Address and ODBC or
JDBC connection methods (TMM uses JDBC). In order for this connection method to
work properly, you must disconnect any local-PC VPN (virtual private network)
software.
At the time this was written, the Teradata Express user guide does not explain how to
find this Teradata IP Address and 60 minutes of searching the VMware web site did
not yield an answer either. It appears that the following procedure will show you the
Teradata IP Address for your installation of Teradata Express for VMware, although
Teradata Mapping Manager support does not have the expertise to debug your system
if this does not work for you:
Open the Teradata Express virtual machine and login to Linux. The default
username/password should be root/root. See section Using TD Express/Linux
Virtual Machine if you need instructions to do this.
Double-click on Gnome Terminal to open it, if not already open (or click in
the center of the virtual machine window and press Enter to see the Linux
command prompt if you have a version of Teradata Express without a
graphical (X-Windows) user interface). Click in that window and type the
following command (last character is a zero):
ifconfig eth0
This will display a short report of various network addresses.

The IP address following inet addr: is the Teradata IP Address.
July 2015
41

The address is acquired from (or maybe derived from an acquired address) the DHCP
server for your network. It then becomes a static IP address. It is possible, although
probably a rare occurrence, that this IP address could change over time. For example,
if the network segment to which you are connected is physically reconfigured, then it
is possible that your PCs IP address and this Teradata IP Address will change.
It is recommended that you first verify that you can access Teradata Express for
VMware using Teradata Administrator (or Teradata Studio) using this Teradata IP
Address. If you cannot connect to Teradata using Teradata Administrator then there is
no need to try to connect using Teradata Mapping Manager.
After the initial successful connection between Teradata Mapping Manager and
Teradata Express for VMware, if you ever have problems connecting again, your first
debug step should be to use Teradata Administrator to connect to this same instance of
Teradata and display the list of tables in the Teradata Mapping Manager repository
database.
If you cannot access Teradata, then see section Other Support Resources to get support
for Teradata Express. It is best to post your problem as a Teradata Studio + Teradata
Express connection problem rather than a Teradata Mapping Manager problem, as the
same engineering group owns Teradata Express and Teradata Studio (but not Teradata
Mapping Manager).
Note: If you are using VMware Workstation (not a free application) in place of
VMware Player (free), there is a feature to forward VMware ports but some users
were not able to get this feature to forward the local host port (127.0.0.1) to the
VMware virtual machine. The Teradata Mapping Manager support team cannot
provide support for using VMware port forwarding software, but this is a good feature
to use if you can get it to work as you do not have to disconnect from VPN in order to
access Teradata Express.
Stop Teradata/Virtual Machine

To stop the virtual machine and Teradata, double-click on the Gnome terminal icon in
the VMware window to open it, and then type the command halt in the Gnome
Terminal.
This will take a few minutes. Wait for the VMware window to close before shutting
down your PC.
As a quicker alternative, you can just close the VMware window (click on X in topright corner of window) and select Suspend option. When you reopen VMware, you
can click on the virtual machine name in the left pane and click on Play this virtual
machine in the right pane. The shut-down/startup time is much quicker doing this.

Appendix B: How to Debug Problems Starting Teradata Mapping Manager
Appendix B: How to Debug Problems Starting

Teradata Mapping Manager
This appendix describes some of the reasons that Teradata Mapping Manager may not
properly launch, along with possible solution(s) to these problems.
The following are hyperlinks to specific topics in this appendix.
Windows script host is missing on the client machine
You do not have write permission to the My Documents folder and subfolders
or the disk is full
Another instance of Teradata Mapping Manager is already running on the PC
Windows script host is missing on the client machine

We have written a VBS script to launch the TMM jar file in order to suppress the extra
command prompt window, which is opened with every Java based application. Our
VBS script require Microsoft Windows Script Host version 5.6 or above, which is
normally installed with every standard installation of Windows XP (SP2 and above) or
Windows 7. To verify the version or installation of Windows Script Host, perform the
following steps:
1. Select the Windows Start menu > Run, type cmd and press Enter. A command
prompt window opens.
2. In the command prompt window, type CScript and press Enter. If Windows
Script Host is installed on your PC, then it shows its version as illustrated below.
Windows Script Host Version
July 2015

Appendix B: How to Debug Problems Starting Teradata Mapping Manager
If Windows Script Host 5.6 or above is not found and you are running Windows XP,
then you can download and install it from the following location:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=47809025-d896-482ea0d6-524e7e844d81&DisplayLang=en
As of this writing, Microsoft does not appear to have a support download of Windows
Script Host for Windows 7. It appears that Windows 7 does include this Script Host
software, however.
You do not have write permission to the My Documents folder

and subfolders or the disk is full
As part of the startup process for the Teradata Mapping Manager Java application, the
startup batch files open a log file under \My Documents\Teradata Mapping Manager
(Windows XP) or \Documents\Teradata Mapping Manager (Windows 7). This is the
location where all Teradata Mapping Manager run-time files will be created and
maintained. TMM users must have both read and write permissions for that folder and
its subfolders and there must be 100+ K-bytes of free disk space.
TMM checks for this condition on startup and reports the following error message if
found:
Error, cannot create log file under folder: <full path for LogFiles folder, as
installed on this PC>. Your disk may be full or you may not have write
permissions for this folder.
If the latter is the problem, then have a Windows administrative user give you full
read/write permissions to the \My Documents\Teradata Mapping Manager (Windows
XP) or \Documents\Teradata Mapping Manager (Windows 7) folders.
Use Windows Explorer to check and see if the hard drive where Teradata Mapping
Manager was installed is full. If so, then free up some disk space.
If Teradata Mapping Manager was installed on a PC by one user (perhaps an
administrator) but you are logged into Windows as another user, then Teradata
Mapping Manager will usually try to locate the run-time files folder based on the
username of the installer. If your user is not a Windows administrator, then this
situation will probably lead to this error. You can change the file system location for
Teradata Mapping Manager run-time files by opening Tools > Preferences to the
Startup tab and pressing the Change button. You must close and reopen Teradata
Mapping Manager before this change will take effect.
Another instance of Teradata Mapping Manager is already

running on the PC
The Teradata Mapping Manager startup program opens a debug log file for exclusive
access. Only one instance of Teradata Mapping Manager can have exclusive access on
a single PC, so the tool checks to see if another instance is running as part of the
startup process. If so, this error is reported in a command window. Either close the
other instance or use it instead of the instance that you are trying to create.

Glossary
Glossary
See the online help (Help menu, Help Topics option) for additional glossary terms
used in Teradata Mapping Manager.
business analyst Understands the needs of business users and the data required to
implement a solution.
cross-mapping Cross-mapping is the process of generating mappings between two
working data sets using intermediate mappings. For example, if A is mapped to B
and B is mapped to C, then Teradata Mapping Manager can use cross-mapping to
map A to C. Cross-mapping is one of the methods used by the mapping discovery
feature.
custom property Many of the mapping objects in the repository, such as data
structures and data elements, have system properties, but can also be assigned
custom properties. These custom properties can be assigned using the Custom
Property Editor or as part of the import of a new data representation or mappings;
for example, where the input file has columns with the new custom property name
in the header and property values in the column. Custom properties provide
additional information that facilitates mapping or can be exported with mappings
for inclusion with a mapping specification.
data analyst Responsible for analyzing data requirements for an organization.
data element Generic term, used by Teradata Mapping Manager, to represent the
lowest level of data within a data representation. Data elements are grouped within
data structures, which are then grouped within a data representation. A data
element may be atomic data, derived data or a compound element. In a logical
data model, an attribute is a data element. In a physical data model, a column is a
data element. In a source data flat file, a field is a data element.
See Also: data representation
data model A model of the data used by a business that formally describes the data
and how it is represented and accessed. A data model defines the data structures,
data elements and relationships between the data structures and elements for a
particular area of interest. Types of data models include logical, physical,
semantic, staging, and others.
data modeler Analyzes and creates data objects and understands their relationships
to one another.
data representation Generic term, used by Teradata Mapping Manager, for the
representation of a data model (such as a logical data model or application data
model) or other type of data framework (such as a source data flat file). A data
representation contains data structures such as entities, tables, and files and their
corresponding data elements such as attributes, columns, and fields,
respectively. The diagram below shows the two parts of a data representation, data
structure and data element, and different types of data representations.
July 2015

Glossary
A data representation may also contain subject areas, which are logical groupings
of data structures.
Data representations are imported into Teradata Mapping Manager to create
working data sets for mapping.
data set window A window within the task pane of Teradata Mapping Manager that
displays a single working data set and provides the interface for editing, viewing,
organizing, and exporting working data sets.
data structure Generic term, used by Teradata Mapping Manager, for a data
construct that groups together a set of the lowest level data elements. In a logical
data model, an entity is a data structure. In a physical data model a table is a data
structure. In a source file a record, or possibly the file itself, is a data structure.
data transformation Converts data from a source data format into a target data
format. Data transformation includes the mapping of source data elements to
target data elements with descriptions of the transformation that must occur as
well as the code generation that creates the actual transformation program.
Teradata Mapping Manager can be used to capture the mappings and
transformation notes and to create a mapping specification for code generation. It
also includes a SQL Generation feature that can generate INSERT SELECT
statements for each table that is the destination of one or more mappings, although
this function does not support any specific data transformation functions other
than selecting columns from more than one source table.
destination working data set The working data set that is the ending point for a
specific mapping. Either working data set can be designated as the destination,
although, in some cases it makes sense to designate a specific working data set as
the destination; for example, in a source to target mapping, it is logical to assign
the target data model as the destination working data set.
See Also: working data set
ETL Abbreviation for extract, transform, and load; part of the process of moving
data from one or more source systems to a database.
grid Representation of information in a matrix (row and column) format. Data set
windows display information in either a tree or grid structure. Map set windows
display information only in a grid.
LDM Abbreviation for logical data model.
July 2015

Glossary
map set A construct in Teradata Mapping Manager that contains a view of the
individual repository mappings between data representations, subject areas,
literals, data structures and data elements from two working data sets, one the
origin and the other, the destination. A map set can also show the unmapped data
elements in the origin or destination working data sets. One or more map sets or
map reports can be exported to help create a mapping specification.
map set window A window within the task pane of Teradata Mapping Manager that
displays a map set and provides the interface for editing, viewing, organizing, and
exporting map sets.
mapping A mapping is a linking of a data representation, subject area, literal, data
structure or element in an origin working data set to a corresponding mapping
object in a destination working data set.
mapping discovery This is a feature of Teradata Mapping Manager that finds
potential mappings between two data representations based on simple name
matching between the properties of the data representations. For example, when
mapping one version of a logical data model (LDM) to another to trace lineage,
many of the entity and attribute names may be exactly the same in both versions.
Teradata Mapping Manager can find these matches and then give you the option
to create those mappings or discard them. There are also mapping discovery
algorithms for best name matching, cross-mapping and short-list mapping.
mapping object Any object that can be the origin or destination of a mapping. A
mapping object can be a specific data element, data structure, subject area, literal,
or data representation.
mapping specification Industry term defining a set of one or more mappings
between two or more data representations. A mapping specification is used to
define the required data transformations or to map requirements to data, for
example. In Teradata Mapping Manager, you can export one or more map sets or
mapping reports to create a mapping specification deliverable.
See Also: data transformation
metadata Information that describes the data stored in the Teradata Mapping
Manager repository.
metadata object name The concatenation of data representation name (optional),
data structure name and data element name using the period (.) character as a
separator .
object In Teradata Mapping Manager, a generic term for working data set, map set,
and other items stored in the repository. Certain repository objects are displayed in
the Object Navigator and can be dragged to the task pane to view their details in a
task pane window.
Object Navigator Tree structure displayed in the left pane of the Teradata Mapping
Manager window used to show the working data sets, map sets and other objects
available for a specific project.

Glossary
origin working data set The working data set that is the starting point for a specific
mapping. Either working data set can be designated as the destination, although, in
some cases it makes sense to designate a specific working data set as the origin;
for example, in a source to target mapping, it is logical to assign the source data
model as the origin working data set.
See Also: working data set
PDM Abbreviation for physical data model.
project Used in Teradata Mapping Manager to group data representations and
mappings into an identifiable unit for use by a specified group of users. Users
are prompted to open a project when they start Teradata Mapping Manager. The
currently open project is displayed in the Object Navigator.
repository An instance of the Teradata Mapping Manager relational metadata
database containing objects such as data representations, working data sets, map
sets, mappings, and properties that are stored, managed, and used by Teradata
Mapping Manager.
source data flat file Any non-relational file external to the analytic
environment that is used as a source for analysis.
subject area An optional grouping of data structures. Used primarily in logical data
models, but subject areas can be created for any type of data representation.
task pane The right pane of the Teradata Mapping Manager window that serves as a
workspace where data set windows and map set windows are displayed and used.
tree A hierarchical structure consisting of branch and leaf nodes, such as that used in
Windows Explorer. The Object Navigator is shown using a tree structure. Data set
windows can be viewed in either tree or grid view.
working data set In Teradata Mapping Manager, a view of an imported data
representation that is configured (organized or filtered) to facilitate mapping. For
example, you can configure a working data set for an imported LDM (data
representation) to show selected columns for system properties such as Subject
Area Name, Data Structure Name, and Data Element Name as well as custom
properties in a specific order, and then filter it to show only one subject area.
Different users can create their own working data set view of the same data
representation. This allows them to individually change display columns, sort,
filter, and so on, their working data set without affecting the other users working
data set all without the need to duplicate the data representation in the
repository.
