Ferret (File Reconfiguration tool) is an utility which is used to display and set Disk Space Utilization parameters within Teradata RDBMS. When you select the Ferret Utility parameters, it dynamically reconfigures the data on disks. We can run this utility through Teradata Manager; to start the Ferret Utility type (START FERRET) in the database window.
Following commands can be used within Ferret Utility:
1. SHOWSPACE – Well this command reports you the amount of Disk Cylinder Space is in use and the amount of Disk Cylinder Space is available in the system. This will give you an information about Permanent Space cylinders, Spool Space cylinders, Temporary Space cylinders, Journaling cylinders, Bad cylinders and Free cylinders. For each of these 5 things it will present you 3 parameters i.e. Average Utilization per cylinder, % of total avaliable cylinders and number of cylinders.
2. SHOWBLOCKS – This command will help you in identifying the Data Block size and the number of Rows per data block.
This command displays the Disk Space information for a defined range of Data Blocks and Cylinders.
