I think its dsjob -warn 0, right. Or just keep that number a huge huge number.

Hi,

Go to Director.Click "Tools --> Option" and go to Limits tab and set the option "No Limit" for warnings. After this setting jobs won't abort if it's called from sequencer / job control / unix script etc.,

Director option won't affect if the job is been called by dsjob. Director setting is for each client and dsjob is server side command. -warn 0 is for no limit.

Is there anyways to override the client setting ? I am triggering the job from Director and wanted to take the option from Server if at all available. Because It will be an issue,if i didn't look the setup of director.

There is no 'option from Server'... what do you mean by that?

You can either change the default warning level in the Director tool itself or override it on a job by job basis manually when you run a job.

We are 5 memebers in a team, if some one hasn't set the option in director which causing the job to abort. So if at all any option in DS Administrator (Like purging of log etc.,) i can set the option.

Still unclear. There are no options in the Administrator which control the Warning Limit.

If you want a default in the Director other than to 'Abort job after 50 warnings' - you'll need to change that on every PC where you've installed the DataStage client.

Or are we talking about the Auto-purge action section in the Administrator?

I am not talking about log purging in Administrator. Period.

I was thinking is there any option in server to control the warning limit....If not then it is slightly unconformtable of Data Stage where they would have given the option to set at project level.

You mentioned it in the previous post, hence the question.

Unfortunately, no - no Project level setting for warning levels exists. And be aware that the default for Warnings when you run a job from the Designer is unlimited - and there's no way to change that default.

Yeap..Thanks for the response. I was just referring that auto-purge setting which can be done from Administrator.

Don't we feel sad that we can't set the warning option for a project?

I haven't found it to be an issue, but could see where it might be a nice option to have. Options are good.

So the option should be to call the jobs from dsjob command with -warn option. So who ever runs it, the value is hard coded. (Optionally parameterized)

U r right Kumar, But that shell script needs to be called from sequence right?...What if that fails?
