Don't worry, it is expected ;-)

Awtmain is the "AMP worker task", the working unit in Teradata doing the different steps you see in Explain, 1 AWT per step. There are 80 AWTs per AMP, so you probably run a 6 AMP system.


  I would like to learn something about the diverse processes of the Teradata database like awtmain, pardrivr, disworkt. I would appreciate  


  if someone give me pointers about what to expect to be running at the Teradata server.  


I don't know exactly about those processes and AFAIK there's no whitepaper/manual on that. Maybe Todd Walter could shed some light on it ;-)
