Searched for it in the forum, maybe could not get the keywords right!

Is there any way we get to know what datastage jobs are run, its status at any particular time (Project level)

Director.

dsjob.

Kim Duke's tools.

Those are the three options you have. What do you want to do with the information? Where do you want to see the information? Do you want a history? Do you just want someone to watch the jobs?

Director.

Director - We cannot get the jobs running at the project level (Going through each category is tiresome)

dsjob.

dsjob -ljobs <project> - Gives the list of all the jobs (I want information only about the jobs running with their status)

Kim Duke's tools.

Kim's tools (Is it ETLStats or is it something else Kim Created!)

What do you want to do with the information?

I want this information to see what jobs are running at any point of time

Where do you want to see the information?

I would be happy to see this information anywhere DS or OS

Do you want a history?

History is not must, but it would be good if know a way to display that too

Do you just want someone to watch the jobs?

I dont want to watch the jobs all the time, but just want information about the number,details and status of jobs running at any point of time
Did I answer all your questions?
Thanks for putting in more questions

If you just want to know what server jobs and job sequences are running now, you can look at the job processes with a UNIX command. Use (pipe into) cut or awk or sed or similar to produce the report you require.

Both EtlStats and DwNav are designed to store a history of run times and row counts of completed jobs. I really have never taught about a process to see how much work the server was doing at any given time. Maybe useful. Let us know what you come up with. Ray's solution could be used in a filter.

Thanks Ray/Kim,

Kim's solution does give us information about the jobs running on a particular system at any instant.
May be we should try and explore more on getting more information on the jobs running, which project they belong, ......, ....., ..

Though not critical, may be usefull for somebody
