specifies the name of the external file to use for tracing. The name must be a valid file name for the operating system.
You can save diagnostic messages to an external log file when loading data to Teradata using the TPT API. If you request tracing but specify no name in TPT_TRACE_OUTPUT= for the log file, a default name is generated using the name of the driver and the current timestamp. Otherwise, the name that you specify is used for tracing messages. If the file already exists, it is overwritten. See your Teradata documentation for details.
