Detect the failure in your job sequence and use a Routine activity to invoke UtilityFatalToLog() or UtilityWarningToLog().

Can you be more explicit? I understand that you want to set environment variables from a DataStage job. If that's correct, simply execute an appropriate command or pipeline of commands. For example set MYVAR=#valuetoset# You could execute this command (for example, still) via ExecDOS as an after-job...

You don't need a routine. You can use a DataStage job. Pick up the value and stick it in a file or (better) in that job's user status area. (OK, you will need a two-line routine for that, but the code exists on DSXchange.) Pick up the value of the user status area when assigning the value to the job...

Could you please tell me when we can use those stages (wisd input and wisd output)?

When you're planning to expose the job as a web service.

There are no nuances.

A Lookup stage still performs a join - by default a left outer join, but this can be an inner join if the Lookup Failed rule is set to "Drop". Had I meant a Join stage the word would have had a capital "J". In that context please re-read my earlier post, particularly about using a key-based partitio...

The status of each job is recorded in a separate table.

Therefore, at the innermost level, you need a separate query for each job.

Wrap that how you will, the bottom line is one query per job.
