Getting start/end times of all CHILD jobs/sequencers

[laiko]

Hi,

I have a requirement wherein given the Main sequencer name, I have to save to database the start and end time of all its child jobs and child sequencers. I dont know how to write a routine as I am a beginner, needless to say, the function which returns the child jobs/sequencers of a main sequencer. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

You can open the log of the main job sequence, and obtain the start times and end times from there. Director includes a Print option under the Project menu and this, in turn, includes a print to file choice. You could then create a simple job to read that file and write the desired information to your database.

Otherwise you need to learn how to write routines or hire someone who can.
