Editor's Notes
Viewpoint logins will map the user to the sessions and queries that I have submitted based on account ID. When they get added to Viewpoint, there is a place in the Viewpoint profile to insert their Teradata User ID and account number. This is used to connect Viewpoint users to MyQueries sessions. These portlets are likely to be popular with the ”power users” who submit a lot of queries and understand data warehousing well. They will search for their query and drill down to see how it is progressing. The MY QUERIES portlet provides information about queries currently running in a Teradata Database system. This tool allows you to define selection criteria to display queries that have the potential to impact overall system performance. Not all queries that exceed a threshold are bad. MY QUERIES helps you determine if a query is important and useful, or just poorly written. Use MY QUERIES to view information about queries in either the summary view or the detail view. The summary view contains a table with one row allocated to each of the sessions logged on under one or more user names. Select a row in the summary view to drill down to additional session and query information in the detail view. Use one of four tabs in the detail view to display query statistics, SQL, Explain, and blocking information. The PREFERENCES: MY QUERIES view allows you to select one or more Teradata Database systems, and then select one or more users per system to monitor. From this view, you can also configure the appearance of the summary and detail views.
The capacity map allows you to quickly scroll through days or even a month of performance statistics. The red periods are times of days when the system is heavily saturated with work. This visual display can be easier and more useful than tabular reports for finding patterns of system performance and saturation. The CAPACITY HEATMAP portlet provides a visual representation of system resource utilization based on userdefined metrics over an adjustable time period. The CAPACITY HEATMAP portlet uses historical data to help identify periods during the day or week when a system is either over- or under-utilized. You can use this information to determine when to schedule resource-intensive jobs with minimal impact to other users. The CAPACITY HEATMAP portlet displays a grid with days on the horizontal axis and hours on the vertical axis. Each color-coded square represents an hour and provides a visual indication of the metric value during a 1-hour period.
Here we see the scroll bar that lets the DBA scroll backwards in time to look at system saturation on days that may be similar to one another. The and buttons allow you to adjust the CAPACITY HEATMAP date range displayed on the toolbar. When clicked, the buttons modify the date range to display 1 month or 3 months of historical data, with the previous end date remaining as the last date displayed. As you adjust the date range, the toolbar refreshes automatically to display the new date range. The (threshold button) displays the current threshold value. The purpose of the threshold value is to highlight periods when the system is over- or under-utilized. Click to open the threshold slider.
These are a subset of the functions available in TDWM. They tend to be the high use functions in many sites. With object throttles you should include users in your list of objects. A common use of object throttles today is to put one throttle on the performance group with a high concurrency limit, and then a second, different throttle on specific users within that PG that tend to submit large numbers of queries at one time, but give that a low limit, like 2.
Although you can set priorities to certain relative weight percents, in a dynamic environment the actual consumption usually will be quite different from these values. The ad hoc reporting queries and data loading tend to consume a lot of resources whereas the tactical queries and rush work are much small consumers. So even though tactical work may have a high relative weight, the work cannot consume that level of resources, so they are immediately made available to lower-priority priorities. The purpose of Priority Scheduler is to give quicker access to resources for the high priority (R & H) categories of work, even if it means making other categories of work wait longer for access to resources. Notice that the low priority jobs actually use much more CPU, memory, and disk I/O than the small real time priority tasks. This illustrates that prioritization does not equate to resource use. It only affects access to the resources in priority order. Weights and CPU usage in the ADW Benchmark Tactical queries: Relative weight of 45%...consume 12% DS queries: Relative weight of 1%...consume 77%
04/30/10 The first purpose of these slides is to show how the complexity and sophistication of questions change/increase as you add more data sources. The types of questions that can be answered with more data integration are more valuable to a company. The slides also show how combining data from data marts helps eliminate duplicate data, and moves you to more data re-use. The second purpose of these slides is to show how the number of questions you can ask increase with more data integration. The numbers in the individual pyramids represent the number of questions that can be answered from this data source in a stand alone data mart. These are subject specific questions. The numbers in ‘orange’ are the incremental number of cross-functional questions that can now be answered in addition to those specific to the data mart subject area. While the data mart questions can continue to be answered when integrated into a data warehouse, the new orange questions represent the more valuable questions that cross data sources. Notes: The numbers in the pyramids represent the number of questions/insights that a customer can get from their data; either from stand alone non-integrated data marts or from an integrated data warehouse.

04/30/10 The first purpose of these slides is to show how the complexity and sophistication of questions change/increase as you add more data sources. The types of questions that can be answered with more data integration are more valuable to a company. The slides also show how combining data from data marts helps eliminate duplicate data, and moves you to more data re-use. The second purpose of these slides is to show how the number of questions you can ask increase with more data integration. The numbers in the individual pyramids represent the number of questions that can be answered from this data source in a stand alone data mart. These are subject specific questions. The numbers in ‘orange’ are the incremental number of cross-functional questions that can now be answered in addition to those specific to the data mart subject area. While the data mart questions can continue to be answered when integrated into a data warehouse, the new orange questions represent the more valuable questions that cross data sources.

04/30/10 Data warehouses usually follow a predictable evolution. After nearly 30 years, we’ve seen the stages companies go through on their path to enterprise data warehousing. Moving from Stage 1 (What Happened?) into Stage 2 (Why Did It Happen?) requires new capabilities for ad hoc analysis. Then as you evolve to Stage 3 (Predicting What Will Happen) you again grow in your platform and database requirements. As you cross the chasm into Stages 4 and 5, (Operational Intelligence) you require a platform capable of “active” analysis.

In the next few releases of Teradata software and hardware we are moving to an architecture that is both cheaper for our customers and faster because of multi-temperature data. Its cheaper because we allow clients to mix disk drives attached to a server node. Some are faster with less data in them so that the ratio of I/Os per second to gigabytes favors faster response time per gigabyte. There will also be larger disk drives that cost less per gigabyte but have a less attractive I/Os per gigabyte. As we move forward, we will also include solid state disk units that will be able to feed data to the incredibly fast Intel microprocessors at speeds more in line with silicon than spinning disks. The key to this slide if the automated migration. Clients can do some of this today on non-Teradata systems, but it brings a host of problems. At minimum, its labor intensive requiring constant care and attention from the DBAs. But at its worst, clients can easily un-balance their configurations making query response times inconsistent, hard to troubleshoot, and horrible to do capacity planning.

OLAP (On-line Analytic Processing) is a tool that allows users to perform speed-of-thought analysis of data using business terminology. Speed of thought means responses are returned in a timely manner so it doesn’t disrupt the analytic thought process. Meaning OLAP tool users expect results in a matter of seconds, at most, minutes. OLAP tools also represents data using common business terms by defining dimensions in such time, location, product line, etc. And also allows users to drill down to different levels of the hierarchy in each dimension. For example for the time dimension, they can view at the higher levels such as year, quarter, month, or lower levels such as week and days. All OLAP technologies provide the user with an intuitive multi-dimensional view, allowing the user to analyze data based on multiple dimensions and at varying levels of detail, however, the underlying implementation can vary. The implementations typically vary based on two key factors: The type of data: the depth or levels of hierarchy within each dimension. Aggregated data vs. detailed data. Data store: Where the physical data resides. Is it in a physical cube on a server or leverage the data in a relational database. Let’s quickly examine the different implementation and how Teradata can optimize each. First we have the physical cube also referred to as MOLAP (Multi-dimensional OLAP). All dimensions and levels of your OLAP content are extracted, pre-calculated and stored in a cube - multi-dimensional database for analysis. In this case, Teradata is typically used as a data store and the data is extracted and moved into an OLAP server. The strengths of MOLAP is the quickness in response because the data is pre-calculated and available on the server, but that comes with a cost: maintenance and scalability Moving toward the right, is the ROLAP implementation. In this implementation relies heavily on the database engine. User request are submitted to the OLAP engine in the mid-tier which may house metadata on the server, however the processing is done in the database. The OLAP engine will convert the request into a SQL query that’s processed in the database. The benefits of the ROLAP implementation are lower maintenance cost and scalability in terms of breadth (in terms of more dimensions) and depth of analysis (more levels). An then there’s the hybrid implementation HOLAP. HOLAP leverages the strengths of MOLAP and ROLAP, where some dimensions and levels of your OLAP content are extracted and stored in a cube for analysis and drills-down into a relational database for detail analysis. Teradata optimizations that are done for MOLAP and ROLAP can be applied to HOLAP. For our partner technology, this is the best compromise solution. Our message is a complementary that we optimize all OLAP implementations. We’re in the process of developing technical training that will cover AJI implementation with a shorter segment for each of our key partners.
In order to optimize the performance for BI solutions it is advisable to make sure the data architecture supporting the BI solution is designed to take advantage of the built-in Teradata features. For OLAP solutions Teradata provides a key optimization technology called Aggregate Join Index (AJI), building and deploying AJIs is a manual process and requires understanding of the BI solution and the data architecture. TBIO is designed to automate this process and to recommend and build the necessary AJIs. TBIO consists of the following: Schema Workbench is a desktop designer tool and is used to manually build the schema definition for BI tools that are not compatible with the Aggregate Designer. In the initial release Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services will be the only BI tool to produce the compatible schema definitions but we are working with other BI vendors on automating this process. Aggregate Designer is a desktop tool used to read/consume the schema definitions and recommends/builds the required AJIs assuming they meet the AJI requirements. OLAP Connect is used by Excel or MDX-based tools to connect to Teradata

We’ve discussed the what are AJIs and the benefits and now I’d like to share actual results of a customer implementation. This proof of concept was implemented to measure the ability and impact of usin gthe Teradata database to directly support OLAP analysis at one of our wireless customers. This customer originally started with a MOLAP implementation for their Performance Assurance Reporting suite. They implemented up to 38 dimensions and 24 measures which is one of the largest MOLAP implementations or cubes at this sight. The cube was over 22GB in size and monthly data transfer of 334 MB of data. It took approximately 13 hours to refresh the entire cube. And the lowest level of detailed available in this cube was at the monthly level. In addition to demonstrating the performance improvement, this customer also wanted to add another dimension to their OLAP cube however this exceeded architecture and hardware limitation and was able to deliver a partial solution with only 20 of the 4857 wire center values. This 4 day project including the time to capture and compare results, resulted in faster build and maintenance of the cube, ability to reduce data & redundant data mart, provided the scalability required to add the 39 th dimension, provided more detailed data and history and provided faster query response. As you can see from the query times, OLAP optimized with Teradata was significantly faster. We compared a set of 5 canned queries and 6 interactive queries with and without the 39 th dimension (Wire Center). The red indicates the times it took for using an OLAP server without optimization and the times in orange indicates time after pushing the processing into Teradata leveraging AJI. Of course we were unable to compare the query time w/wire centers because they were unable to add this dimension in the cube, but I’ve included this just to illustrate that the performance doesn’t vary much by adding another dimension. That’s the beauty of Teradata’s scalability and parallelism.

Our technique is rather simple. Instead of bring the mountain of data to the data mining server as illustrated here, we bring the analytic functions to the mountain of data. The illustration on the top demonstrates the typically analytic environment where the data is extracted from the database on to the analytic server. Since data mining tasks, especially the data preparation tasks are data intensive and highly iterative, this architecture requires massive data movement which becomes the bottleneck in the data mining process. The processing is done on the server and once the results are available either as part of the data preparation or modeling phase, the results must then be written back into the warehouse for integration. With Teradata’s in-database technique, the data preparation, algorithms and the models are actually converted to SQL and pushed back into the database. The SQL is then processed in PARALLEL directly in the database and the results are written in the database. Our customers have found that in-database processing is significantly faster than the server based approach. On the average, performance improvements have been to the magnitude of 25, so tasks that took 25 minute now take less than 1 minute. Teradata takes an unique approach to analytic by pushing analytics into the database. Instead of bringing the data to the server, Teradata converts the ETL and analytic processing into optimized SQL then pushes the processing into Teradata.
They built an enterprise ADS for risk analytics on Teradata. This immediately improved quality because of the consistency of data across all users. They also accelerated their development cycles. When hurricane Katrina hit, they were able to build a hurricane exposure analysis within 90 minutes providing their executives with information regarding their customers affected by the hurricane. They were able to extend credit and provide special offers to customers to help their customers with the recovery process. Previously, this same task would have taken over 3 weeks. Creating an Risk ADS and allowing their users to direct access to Teradata provided greater efficiency… greater than expected. Last year, the Risk team developed 40 models, and this year with the same resources, they’re on target to develop 500 analytic models.

Teradata’s Geospatial implementation differs from other environments because most Geographic information systems are implemented as departmental data marts that are loosely, if at all integrated with their EDW. The data marts integrate geographic coordinates, geographic data such as Hazard data and a subset of the business data. Business intelligence environments are separated from the GIS enviornment
Next question is what can I do with these new types? We offer four classes of functions. Measurement queries: the distance between entities, the surface or the perimeter of an area, etc. These queries return a numeric value. Topological relations between two objects such as A intersects B, A contains B, A is within B, A is adjacent to B etc. These queries return a 0 for false or 1 for true. Examples of relevant query methods are: Single object spatial relations with other objects - retrieve all the objects located within the object A, touch object B etc. These queries return a list of objects. Examples of relevant query methods are: Object attribute queries - object type, number of points etc. These queries return attribute values. Examples of relevant query methods are: What are the real-world applications? Points can be represented on a map to indicate specific location such as stores, customers and competitors. You can measure the distance between the customer and your store. Click : You can also identify a 3 mile radius from your store and identify the relationship with the sales region of your competitor. Click : We can also retrieve objects that are contained within a region identifying the customers that are located in overlapping areas.

This is simplified mockup of the workflow in the Elastic data mart life cycle. A GUI screen helps allocate perm space for a user and establishes security permissions for them. Once the perm space is built, the user can login and upload data sets into new tables. Since they are expected to use comma separated values format, the column names can be used to organize columns and to select data types and primary indexes. Once the data layout is accepted by the user, the data file can be loaded into the new table. Using a simple SQL interface, the user can also create, delete or modify tables. Based on their security permissions, they can also copy data from production data warehouse tables into the elastic mart. Creating a mart or sand box simply allocates a database to that UserID Here we upload a file, usually a spreadsheet of account numbers or products or whatever the user wants to analyze. 3) The portlet helps the user define the column names and data types of the CSV data, The data is then imported into the database created in step 1 Now the user can use joins or insert select statements to pull data from the production database into the mart or sand box. If the data needs to be modifiable, then the mart must have enough disk space to hold the tables that will be created from production data. If not, then the mart need only contain the control tables, that is not copy production data into the mart or sandbox.

Retail Fraud is a $16 B year problem in the USA alone. With web receipts and better copying capabilities, thieves can make multiple copies of a single receipt and make multiple returns for cash or other merchandise. Or they can bring back shoplifted items and try to exchange for cash. The problem is that often the associates in Returns department don’t have access to past sales information and can’t keep track easily of returned merchandise. This is especially problematic if the policy is to make returns without receipts. So the solution is straightforward: hook up the Point of Sale systems so within seconds, the Teradata data warehouse is updated with sales, return, exchange, and void data, and provide the Returns department with the entire history of purchases by that customer,, so they can ensure that a sold product can only be returned once. <Click> The impact? Huge, according to one Teradata customer who has already built this system. They stopped a crime ring in the first day of their rollout, a group that had defrauded the company of thousands of dollars. They saw a 100% payback on their investment in just 5 months, and continue to reap the benefits of this example use of Active Enterprise Intelligence.

Before process – very labor intensive, not scalable, error-prone
New process through multiple channels into a centralized customer database (using Teradata). The (realtime) scoring done via SPSS based on data feed from Teradata. Processing time cut from six working days to 30 sec for retail and to 2 minutes for commercial banking.
The credit decisioning challenge was around three key dimensions: Need to automate to improve efficiency Data consolidation and external sourcing to collect info about customers (in the Baltic, very few people have credit history) Realtime credit scoring ability due to the need to automate
This large brand-name consumer travel company uses both the web and email to provide vacation bundle offers. The situation was that the reaction rates for both of these were not meeting goals. The main problem was that the offers were too “generic”, e.g., not relevant for most consumers. The solution was to use information from Teradata about the customer web browsing behavior to better calibrate the offers – both on the web and via emails. <Click> The impact was outstanding – a 3-5 times improvement in the customer “take rates”. In addition, the compmany found that they were able to provide customers with more focused web offers using their existing system – 1.3M personalization queries per day created only a 3% increase in the workload for the system. More info: Solution: Leveraged the Teradata Active Data Warehouse capability to display customer specific ads during a shopping visit. Industry studies have shown that personalized offers which are compelling to the customer and presented at the keenest time of interest have response rates up to 12 times that of non-specific offers. Impact: Personalized offers are much more effective than generic offers. Should the warehouse not be available, the fall back position is a generic offer; which doesn’t stop business, just reduces the effectiveness of the ads to what they were before personalization. Leveraged existing data in the warehouse enabled rapid implementation. Tactical single amp queries consumed only a tiny portion of the system, even though the volume is high.

Generic offers displayed during a shopping session on the web site were only achieving the low response rates typical in the industry. Problem: Generic offer displays did not leverage the detailed customer information contained in the data warehouse. It would take thinking outside of the box to connect the web site, a mission critical customer facing application, to the Teradata data warehouse in order to leverage the detailed customer information in real time.
This page came from the PARTNERS 2006 presentation Booking Services: this is a transaction to book this trip choice. Originally this was called “looking and booking” because many times people search the site but don’t buy, especially for people that they already know via cookies. All of this is captured in the operational systems that run the website. Capturing click stream information to determine propensities to purchase in the future. So, if a deal was served up, we also have to record the deal at that moment because the same deal may be offered to 100s of people – all at different prices. It is therefore necessary to capture the click stream information and save the summary of key values in the stream to be sure what was offered at run time. Merchandising services is a layer of processes to do the active intelligence. From consumer requests, I can bring back the correct deal. This is where we find the customer matching process. The streaming (preset times daily – different for the type of data being loaded) and batch (overnight). They do this to assure they don’t bombard the EDW during prime times with data loads. Prime time is “daytime in the US”. They do a lot of the batch work in the evening or night.

Teradata’s goal is to help you transform Insight into Actions We do that by providing world-class database technology to create both Strategic and Operational intelligence. By strategic intelligence, we mean the insights that back-office workers create by using BI tools and analytic packages to build reports, write ad-hoc analytical queries, create predictive models, and then use these insights to create pre-planned customer dialogues and plans. Cycle times for developing these kinds of strategic insight activities take typically hours or days, sometimes weeks. By contrast, operational intelligence is the application of strategic intelligence at the front-line, at the point of customer contact. It is the application of historical context, current state, and predictive insights like the next best offer, specialized for one specific customer – the one standing in front of a bank teller, or at a check-in kiosk, or checking out of a retail store on the web or in person. In this case, the operational systems sense inputs (what does the customer want), assess and compare the inputs to the dialogue, and use that to drive a timely and relevant response. Cycle times for operational intelligence are fast – each step of the response may take under a second. For example, it could be a dialogue sequence of customized screen pages for a call center agent to use, a sequence of web pages to be rendered for that customer as she clicks, or a sequence of screens that a bank teller might see. You will go around this cycle numerous times on the right within one session with a customer. Then the customer walks away, and the results are captured and uploaded from the frontline system back into the database for further analysis. The insight cycle begins again, perhaps after hundreds or thousands of customers have interacted with the company. Changes are noted. By analyzing the data, refining the insights and dialogues, you can make them better for use the next time.
Lead: Businesses look to agility for differentiation, but it can be elusive. Study: The Economist (Intelligence Unit), Organizational agility: how businesses can survive and thrive in turbulent times, March 2009 (Conducted early 2009, 349 business executives around the world (UK, France, Germany, Singapore, US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada), 19 industries) Executives also said that Nearly 90% of executives surveyed believe that organizational agility is critical for business success. Organizational agility is a core differentiator in today’s rapidly changing business environment. Agility is essential to sustaining a strong competitive edge. It is and will be a core differentiator. One-half of all chief executive officers (CEOs) and chief information officers (CIOs) polled agree that rapid decision-making and execution are not only important, but essential to a company’s competitive standing. More than 80% of corporate executives have undertaken one or more change initiatives to improve agility over the past three years alone. More than a third, 34%, say the efforts have failed. On performance, the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT) says: Agile organizations increase their revenue 37% faster than non-agile organizations. And, that they generate 30% higher profits from the revenue they pull in. Transition: The recent economic crisis has businesses rethinking the importance of agility.
It’s an organization that exhibits the agility to be able to: quickly gather intelligence creatively and nimbly act or react take advantage of changing conditions. move with strength or power And How Agile is your organization?
