1. ​ TdBench 7.2 – tdb.sh Utility Script

2. 2 Created for TdBench 7.x release to consolidate tools Open architecture – looks for scripts in the./tools directory with formatted comments – For customer engagements, allows installing customer specific benchmark execution scripts Communicates with tdbench.sh via pipes – provides tested interface for stopping/killing test Runs macros for manipulating the TestTracking table – Add notes or condition descriptions to completed tests – Close out test that didn’t end gracefully by updating ActualStopTime – Can wrap execution of other tools (brand-x query drivers) with TestStart/Teststop macro executions Installed automatically as part of TdBench tdb.sh Overview

3. 3 Default is to run interactive – Top menu to select a submenu of function. – Submenu prompts for parameters, the runs shell script in./tools menu Example interactive prompting for parameters: After prompting, it shows command that will execute You can execute that command directly in a batch mode, e.g../tdb.sh tpcds_1_gen "1" "" "y“ Example of running another “query driver”:./tdb.sh testrun "bteq logon sbox2/acme_Benchmark,TempPw1 < t.sql" "tdb_Demo" "Show tdb.sh running a test” tdb.sh Execution Interactive or Batch Enter parameters for tpcds_1_gen: Optional size in GB (default 1, or enter 1, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000, 3000, 10000, 30000, 100000) (or quit or help): 1 Optional target name (default tools/tpcds) (or quit or help): Optional Y for foreground (default will run in background) (or quit or help): y the command that will execute:./tdb.sh tpcds_1_gen "1" "" "y" Enter Y to execute, edit to fix your responses, or quit to cancel Enter your answer: (or quit or help): y Initiating the data generation in foreground

5. 5 1.Commands for any query driver Main 1. teststart - Initiate a test, optionally providing name & description of test, creates RunID... 2. teststop - Terminate a test, optionally providing RunId and timestamp... 3. testrun - Initiate a test, then run another command or query driver, then end the test... 4. note - Add a note or observation to the recent or prior RunID... 5. condition - Add specific description of the conditions to the recent or prior RunID... 6. title - Set or replace the title of the recent or prior RunID... 7. list - List out the tests, specifying the range of RunIDs... 8. report - List out statistics for a RunID... Enter a number between 1 and 8 (or quit or help): Options To Maintain TestTracking Table Outside TdBench.sh Can be used to launch “Brand-X” query drivers or use TestTracking table to simplify analysis of arbitrary script execution (e.g. bteq serial execution of all queries or shell script of all initial loads)

6. 6 2.Monitor or control tdbench.sh Main 1. status - Analyze if a test is running and if it is, request the queues to summarize query counts and timings 2. watch - Watch execution via Active.Stats file 3. stop - If tdbench.sh is running, will ask if you want to kill or stop current or all tests Enter a number between 1 and 3 (or quit or help): Options to Monitor/Stop TdBench.sh execution Puts status/stop/kill commands into pipe for tdbench. Status output appears on tdbench console. (May be on nohup.out if running disconnected)

Enter a number between 1 and 9 (or quit or help): General Utility Tools An assortment of tools for preparing SQL scripts, testing the speed of utilities and hardware, loading data, backing up DDL, and archiving DBQL/Resusage rows within bounds of tests.

8. 8 4.Benchmark (TPC) load and execute Main 1. tpcds_1_gen - Generate a TPC-DS set of data... 2. tpcds_2_define - Define Tpc-DS tables and create data loading script... 3. tpch_1_gen - Generate a TPC-H set of data in background... 4. tpch_2_define - Define Tpc-H tables and create data loading script... Enter a number between 1 and 4 (or quit or help): Standardized Benchmark Setup Script %_1_gen runs the tpc data generator for a given size of data to load. Script %2_define creates tables inside database you’ve defined and creates scripts for loading and executing benchmark.
