Clear Log

Hi,
In Director, you can select the job and clear the log based upon last run or before date or auto purge or Immediate purge.

Is there a way to delete the last N number of entries from the job log of the current run?

The reason I want is - the job ran with numerous constraint violations. The size of job log file is large. I just want to see the last couple of entries in the log.
If I clear the job log file using the Director, it clears completely. Then there is nothing in log to see.

Thanks

Ketfos

Set the log filter to 2 rows. By default it is set to last 100 rows.

You can check show all tab <director---view--show all> .This shows all the log entries. Allows you to see the last entries as well as see where exactly the job is causing the error.

If you "delete the last N entries" then you won't be able to see just "the last couple of entries in the log".

Of course it is possible to purge up to the previous run, and it is recommended that you do so, either manually or automatically.

More exact purging can be done using DML, but this is not recommended as it does not properly update the control record //JOB.STARTED.NO.

Unless you are filtering by type, the Director log view always shows the most recent entries.
