How to get separate Status of a job on each run?

[ushasunkara]

Hi,

I'm using loop activities in a sequence. In that sequence i'm calling a job and mailing the status of that job before end loop activity. But for the second run on the loop i'm getting the combined status of first run and second run. How can i get separate status of the job on each run?

Thanks in advance,

How are you getting the status of your job?

I'm getting Status on first run as

'A'

and on the second run status is

'A'
*********
'B'

where 'B' is the status of the job on second run.

But on the second run i should get the status as only 'B'

By checking that option in the Notification Activity, I assume.

You'd have to write your own routine to use the various 'DSGetLog' functions to retrieve just the latest information from the log. That option in the stage does exactly what you've noted, it includes all information up to the current point in the process.

No, i didnt mean how it looks like, i meant how are you getting it? Are you using the notification activity to include job report, do you have a custom routine to get the job status?

I'm not using any custom routine. I'm using notification activity. Could you please which functions i can use to generate the latest status of the job?

Look at Craig's reply again. He mentioned DSGetLog() function. Read about it in DS help. You will also be able to find many examples here on dsxchange.

Specifically:

DSGetNewestLogId
DSGetLogEntry

The online help for the latter actually shows how to use the two together to get what you want.
