dsjob is the utility. You need to retrieve the "job started" event (find the newest log ID of type "started" using -lognewest option). Among other things, this reports the parameter values that were used for that run. Read the detail of that event using -logdetail option.

I did.

Don't supply the user name. Or, if you need to, use the appropriate options for hostname, user name and password.

Type dsjob by itself to obtain a syntax summary.

-useid does not mean userid but something else entirely that escapes me at the moment.

Note:
dsjob -lparams command will list all the parameters used for a particular job. It will not return you a value of a specific parameter.

Look for complete sytax there. lparams will list all the params the job is using and not the value for that param. You need the option -paraminfo with dsjob.

Code: Select all

dsjob -paraminfo <Projectname> <JobName> <ParameterName>

Option -paraminfo gives the default value, not the actual runtime value. You need to get this from the job log, as I outlined earlier.

Didn't the OP want the default value assigned in the Administrator?

Phew!

Somehow, I forgot/missed about that one completely. Thanks DSguru2B for reviving one of my neurons.

Wsn't going to mention that, figured someone else would. Just wanted to get the syntax straightened out.

I think 'Que' pronounced as 'k' stands for 'who' or 'whom' in spanish.

chulett · Post by **chulett** » Thu Jan 11, 2007 3:57 pm

Spanish for 'what'. And 'they' use question marks at each end (the first one upside-down) to make a phrase a question.

Much like saying Huh?

Don't use [useid]
Try

Code: Select all

dsjob -lparams salma10 job1
