question on returned status code

[mystuff]

I am using the following code in a script. Browsing throught he site I found one of this code

Code: Select all

JOB_STATUS=`dsjob -jobinfo $PROJECT $DSJOB | head -1 | cut -d"(" -f2 | cut -d")" -f1`

I have a question on this, what are status returned code 3, 96?

What is the status code for Aborted/Restartable

[chulett]

First place to check:

$DSHOME/include/dsapi.h

I'm honestly not sure how you tell the different between "Aborted" and "Aborted/Restartable".

I'm honestly not sure how you tell the different between "Aborted" and "Aborted/Restartable".

I have a requirement where I need to JUST run the job if its status is "Aborted/Restartable" and reset and run if job status is "Aborted"

looks like 3, 96 both represent aborted. I GUESS one of them might be "Aborted" and other "Aborted/Restartable"

[mystuff]

tried my luck , "Aborted" and "Aborted/Restartable" returns the same value 3

What does the value i.e. returned code 96 signify in datastage terms. I saw the dsapi.h and it says "Job was stopped by some indeterminate action". don't know what it means (like stopped/aborted etc).

That's fair, bcause the job sequence has aborted in each case.
Restartable is clearly a different flag somewhere.

"Stopped" is usually stopped by operator - that is, a Stop request was issued.
"Crashed" is an internal error which is usually sufficiently severe as to preclude any diagnosis.
