DSXchange

As i was building the functionality only for the adhoc failure requests, what i have designed is to provide the Latest start event id as a parameter(but manually, from the job log) :) So, for time being i have this workaround. would work out in detail later and share the updates. Thanks all for your...

Is there any way in BASIC to fetch the log based on the start and end time ?

i understand pandeesh ...but i am interested to know why this things is not wondering. I would be left with no other option than to use the unix solution, but my first love is BASIC

That's what the problem is. If you can have a quick look at the sample code above, i used a separate job handle for that job. But the problem here is LOGSTARTED & LOGANY are returning same event id(last event id for latest run), instead of last start event id and last event id of that particular...

But wouldn't DSJ.ME point to the current job. I am writing the control in a separate job to read the log of a different job.

LOGSTARTED and LOGANY in DSNewestLogId is yielding the same results, which is the last event id for latest run :( i am using code(this is just a draft version): job = pJobName log_file = pJobLogFile control = DSJobName Call DSLogInfo("job name is ":job,control) Call DSLogInfo("Output ...

yeah...i am just working on those LOGSTARTED/LOGANY to give me the latest start and event ID, so that i can loop through.

Thanks to your posts dear

Thanks pandeesh, but i would prefer the solutions given in your thread earlier, as i am not very keen to use UNIX for this solution. I should be able to manage now from BASIC. let me try , will get back. and thanks so much for this quick response.

even if any guide could be provided on fetching the EVENT_ID for the first event of the latest run, i would be able to get the desired results.
Would appreciate any help on this.

Hi All, How do we dump the latest log of a job to a text file? there's is a requirement where we need to send the log to client in case of a failure. Due to time constaint, i was able to browse a few of the posts on this topic, but didn't quite get it. Would prefer if somebody can guide using BASIC/...

on a lighter note - ..as you said..., not "u" :D

Ray- yeah correct...plus i find that the processing which i needed, would be executed only once if i use 2 READSEQs, but in loop 2 times. Not much difference, but yes as u said, still better to reduce any processing if we can.
Thanks !

Chandra- we need to have a header as well, as per the requirements.
Ray - i got your point. But isn't that same as issuing READSEQ in loop ?

Hi, i am reading a sequential file in a job control(pipe delimited), having just 2 records. First record is header ( ValidFrom | ValidTo) & second is having some data values (like, 10 | 15). I need to directly read the data record(10 | 15) and separate the field values and use them for further l...

i used WHILE , working perfect.
Thanks.
