We can generate in JOB level from job properties in DS parallal job.

But i want to generate the report in Sequence level, if seq contain 2 job then report should contain details of 2 jobs in a single log file

and another thing is it possible to give user defined report name ? other than generating system define name like jobname_timestamp.

Please give details

Do you mean Report or Log? They are different.

I mean Report

Open the Designer and click the Job Report tool (the one that looks like an Internet Explorer icon). Does this report contain sufficient detail?

Not intending to answer instead expanding the question to reach the extreme of our need.

1.

Can we have any customization in the default(or other if chosen) XSL Stylesheet to get Job report for the Job Sequence and the Job Report for the Jobs, which are configured inside the Job Sequence, in the same Job Sequence Reporting folder. (such as - Job Sequence HTML Report, Job Sequence Design BMP file, <Job Report HTML Report, Job Design BMP file>,...)?

2.

and another thing is it possible to give user defined report name ? other than generating system define name like jobname_timestamp.

I am sure enough to note that this can be accomplished by taking the Job Report through Command line. I wonder why there are no options in the GUI Job reporting tool to obtain such options - User defined Job Report Name, Include Job Design BMP file, Job Report format(XML/HTML)?

I want to create Log file in sequence level , so that when seq run , it will generate the log file automatically for individual jobs those are embeded in Sequence

If this is stated by you, Why there has been a contradictory statement to mean the problem exactly?

The words "in a single log file" in the original post.

Do we have answers for these questions?

Please don't overquote. It's a waste of space on the server. Everything needed already exists in the thread.

The answer to question 1 is "Yes". Question 2 is rhetorical (I wonder why...).

ray.wurlod,

Can you please expand saying how we can achieve this.

Open the Designer and click the Job Report tool (the one that looks like an Internet Explorer icon). You can create your own stylesheets to govern the format of the reports thus produced.

ray.wurlod,

Till i have focussed on 'Job Reports', the answer to my question is NO. Because

DataStage Job reporting facility does not indeed generate HTML report but generates an XML report initially to which, the mentioned XSLT Stylesheet applied to convert to HTML to be suitable for viewing in a brower(perhaps Internet Explorer 6.0 for best view). And this intermediate XML report would be deleted after conveting it to HTML Report but would be retained, if desired to look at [External option]. If there is any need to modify(format) the converted HTML Report, all user defined customizations would be made to default XSLT Stylesheet(or new custom XSLT Stylesheet) with a proper consideration of generated XML Report. Most important that the customized XSLT Stylesheet does not guarentee that such customizations made inside would result to generating Job Reports individiually for all Jobs configured to be run in a Job Sequence.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

I can not correct you because, frankly, I do not understand what you wrote. Could you perhaps attempt to rewrite it in a less opaque style?

Sure... in the words from DataStage Release 7.5 Developer's Help pages

DataStage Release 7.5 Developer's Help wrote: ...(the report is initially generated in XML, the stylesheet converts it to HTML, suitable for viewing in a browser). You can also define a custom stylesheet for this purpose, in which case choose User defined stylesheet and type in, or browse for, the pathname of your stylesheet....

...Select Retain intermediate XML file to prevent DataStage deleting the intermediate file it generates. You will need to look at this file if you want to define your own XSLT stylesheet...

Most important that the customized XSLT Stylesheet does not guarentee that such customizations made inside would result to generating Job Reports individiually for all Jobs configured to be run in a Job Sequence.

Hope now you could correct me if i am anyway wrong.
