Datastage Log file

Post by admin »

Help,
I am sure this is a simple request:

I have a DataStage Job in Director that generated a Massive Log file of Warning Messages. I have since fixed the problem but am unable to get into this Screen to see any new runs or even Clear Log. I think the Log File is so big that DataStage is having a problem importing it to my PC. I dont care about the old logs I just want to clean it up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Lorry

Telnet to the DS server account.

At TCL (the >) promopt, do

LIST DS_JOBS

to find the job number of the job in question. (For THIS EXAMPLE ONLY, pretend it is job number 55.)

CLEAR.FILE RT_LOG55

Regards,

Clif

NO!!!!!

There are upto three control records in the RT_LOGmm file that need to be left in place. CLEAR.FILE destroys these too.

The control records have keys beginning with "//".

Better is a command such as
DELETE FROM RT_LOGmm WHERE @ID NOT LIKE //%;

After this, //PURGE.SETTINGS should be left alone, //JOB.STARTED.NO should be left alone, but //SEQUENCE.NO could have its counter set back to zero. UPDATE RT_LOGmm SET TYPE = 0 WHERE @ID = //SEQUENCE.NO;

Hi Lorry,

In DataStage Director select "View|Status" and then highlight the job. Choose "Job|Clear Log..." and choose "Immediate Purge" and "Clear All Entries" Click OK.

Note: You do not need to be viewing the log in order to clear it.

Regards,
Anthony.
