Hope you will get the answer

Please use the correct forum next time.

You can view the job log from the director or view job log option in menu in Designer.

With Regards,

I'm sorry... did someone ask how to view the job log?

Hi,
Lacking info I decided to move this post to the server forum, though this answer will apply to a PX job as well.

On top of what was said already:
What exactly do you need?
A dump of a particular log you wish to save manualy?
(Print via the ds Director will do)
After each run save the job log in a file foreach job you run?
(wrap your job running command with a sequence that will run a job/routine making the report after the job is done)
Giving more info would be helpfull

IHTH,

In Director, choose Print from the Project menu. Choose the items and level (summary or detail) that you want. Check the Print to File check box. Nominate the file into which you want the logged events written.

(Your original post did not specify "automatically" nor give any reason for your requirement. Searching the forum will provide at least two means by which you can automate this process - one of them is a DataStage job.)

Hi Roy,

I have a .doc file. i need to append job log into that file when ever the job runs.

Hi Sasi,

If you are running the job through command line, then probably you can use following command to capture the log into a file:

$DSHOME/bin/dsjob -logsum -max 100 project_name job_name >> logfile

where,
$DSHOME environmental variable keeps the DS Home directory path
100 - specifies the maximun no. of logs to be taken

Hope this might help you.
Cheers!

Thanks Koolnitz... But if we don't run from the command line that what will be the procedure..

You can use EXECUTE COMMAND job activity to run the above mentioned command from DS.
