Auto Archving of Logs

[theverma]

Hi,
I want to archive my Logs Automaticaly in some directory.
As far as i know,we have two options to maintain Logs :
(1) Auto purge logs over SOME Days.So it will maintain the Log files for job run upto those many runs and after that duration the logs will be purged.
(2) Take a print of the logs and save them to Disk.

I want that the Logs should be archive before purge automatically.

Thanks in Advance!!!

Unfortunately, there is no mechanism for you to add a user-command (such as taking an archive) to the autopurge mechanism. You would need to do something like set your auto-purge to 3 days and run a log backup process of your choice every 2 days (and remove duplicates).

As ArndW suggested, nothing out of the box. What you could do is spit out the entire log using dsjob -logdetail to a file and then compress those files. Set AutoPurge option accordingly.

In datastage Director, click the option which enables the director to maintain log for last 3(the number u want) days. and then when you are writing the log file, just create a new one everytime and dump the log.

Did you completely overlook ArndW and my replies.

I just told you how to get 3 days log into your files. (something what arndw had already said).

What kind of log files you want to generate other than director? you may want to run a routine which will store the information inside director to a text file. Search on this forum for it.

Are you still at RIL? I'm fairly certain there's already a routine there for doing just this task.
