DSXchange

Hi Team,

I have used the dsjob command to get job end time.
But I am getting wrong data for the same.

I have run the dsjob command on 2011-02-04

STATUS REPORT FOR JOB: Job name
Generated: 2011-02-04 06:31:12
Job start time=2009-04-02 18:33:10
Job end time=2011-02-04 06:31:12
Job elapsed time=00:00:00
Job status=99 (Not running)

SO could you please help on this.

Thanks

Odd. Should it have been sometime in 2009? What does the job show for those values in the Director? If you rerun the dsjob command, do you get a new (i.e. current) value for the end time? Does it work properly for other jobs?

I have absolutely no idea what might be going on (just trying to gather information) and suspect you'll need to either Clear the Status file, export/import and/or rerun the job to fix things, that or contact your official support provider for guidance if the issue continues.

Looks like it's reporting the date/time that dsjob was run. This is a bug, if reproducible, and should be reported to your official support provider.

Is it a multiple instance job by any chance?? I have seen this happening a few times only to find that it was multiple instance job.

99 means job is compiled. There is no start or end time on a just compiled job.

Exactly.. @Venkat: You are trying to get the timings of a multiple instance. So the start time is the when the job is last compiled and end time probably one of the instance which has finished recently.

OK, specifically - you are querying the 'base' Multi-Instance job (the one that always shows Compiled) rather than one of the actual instances. Use JobName.InvocationID in the dsjob command rather than just JobName.
