This functionality does not exist in dsjob -ljobs.

You would need either to use a DataStage/SQL query against the repository, or a script using dsjob -jobinfo for each job whose name appears in dsjob -ljobs. And even then, does dsjob -jobinfo return the category?

Actually I prefer locked for update and NOT cached. But it depends, primarily on how the cache is established.

Checking "log warnings after activities that finish with status other than OK" in every job sequence is my preferred way of making warnings (as well as errors) visible "up the chain of control".

I try always to create jobs that don't abort.

It is a very unusual requirement indeed to do sorting or repartitioning on the input to a Data Set stage. But, yes, if you are doing that then the tsort or partitioner operators may use scratch space if there is insufficient memory available.

All nodes are working if you don't get error messages. You can monitor the job in Director choosing the "Show Instances" option to get row counts and CPU usage on a per-node basis.
