Hi,

After completing of my job execution,how to store the job start date and time and end date and time in to oracle.

Thanks,

If you execute, from UNIX, the dsjob -report for your job this information will be listed. Alternatively you can use the DS/BASIC function such as DSGetJobInfo() to retrieve the information from inside a DataStage routine.

Hi Arnd,

Thanks for your reply,I have used this function as you said.But i am not getting.It is saying DSJobGetInfo is not dimensioned.

Add '$INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H' to your routine.

... because JOBCONTROL.H contains the DEFFUN declaration for DSGetJobInfo()

Hi chulett / ray,

I did what you people said.It is not showing any errors.But,it is giving the result as -5.

And, my reqirement is whenever the job started then the start date and time has to be stored in oracle table.And,when ever the job finished then the finished date and time has to be stored in oracle table.How to achieve this.Please suggest me asap.

Thanks,
sudhakar

-5 which u have got is for InfoType u are using is not recognised and u should use DSJ.JOBSTARTTIMESTAMP and DSJ.JOBLASTTIMESTAMP as second arg to function (or as infotype).

TO get the start time and end time u should call the function as follows: which gives the time when job was started.
which gives the time when the job finish time when it was executed last time.

Ensure that u get correct end time, u should ensure that the second function is executed once this is not in running status. Or else if the job is running, u will get the start time corrtect, but the end time will be that of last run.

Hi Kirtikumar,

Thanks for reply.My job name is ABC.And i have used the following code in routine.But it is giving -1 as result.

$INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H
JobStartTime=DSGetJobInfo(ABC,DSJ.JOBSTARTTIMESTAMP)
Ans=JobStartTime

Let me know what i have to write in jobhandle.

Thanks,

Very first thing - in the routine, job name for which u r calling the DSGetJobInfo, job handler needs to created. So the code should be :
The routine always work on job handles and now on job names. See the Basic.pdf which is manual on DS basic language and functions for more help on DSAttach and DSDetach job and job handlers.

You should using Job handle in DSGetJobInfo and not the job name.

JobHandle is derived from DSAttachJob Function.

Hi kirtikumar / balajisr

I have written as following.But,i am getting result as -1

$INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H
JobHandle=DSAttachJob(ABC,DSJ.ERRFATAL)
JobStartTime=DSGetJobInfo(JobHandle,DSJ.JOBSTARTTIMESTAMP)
Ans=JobStartTime
NOTHING=DSDetachJob(JobHandle)

Reply me asap.

Hi kirtikumar/balajisr/ray/chulett/Arndw,
