Getting invocation Id details from the job

Hi,

Using a unix script Iam trying to capture logs of job/sequences and storing them to oracle table.

I have a sequence "A", which has jobs "a" and "b".
"a" is multiple instance job with around 10 instances. And in this particular sequence I am running only 1 particular instance of it(say 'a.one')

I have to store logs of both sequence and also jobs involved in it. I am able to get the job names of the sequence. Here since "a" is multi instance, the log to be captured is "a.one" only.

How do I get the name of instance Id("one") used in this particular sequence?

Thanks,
ssunda.

From the job sequence's log, for example from the "job run requested" event.

Thanks Ray.

Cant we get this information using some "dsjob" command?
In a routine, we can use "DSGetJobInfo(jobhandle,DSJ.JOBINVOCATONID)" to get the invocation id of the specified job. Likewise, any command that we can use in unix?

Thanks,
ssunda.

Not from dsjob (apart from reading the log). There is a C language API (dscapi) that is effectively the same as the BASIC API (dsapi) - you can use the functions in that. This is the API that dsjob uses.

Thanks Ray for that information. I will try to use API functions and will get back if any doubts.
