Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to determine (query the xmeta repository?) what jobs in a given project have their job purge settings different than the project level settings. We currently have project level job purge settings to keep the previous two runs of logs. But I know that there are some jobs that override this project level setting. But we have thousands of jobs, and I was wondering if there was an easy way to tell which jobs override the project level settings.
Thanks!

There are some utilities that Ken Bland posted once upon a time, some of which deal with purge settings. See if this helps or at least gets you a good starting point.

Each RT_LOGnnn hashed file that has non-default purge settings will have a record called //PURGE.SETTINGS. You can view this with or, from the command line
Code: Select all
LIST.ITEM RT_LOGnnn '//PURGE.SETTINGS'
Code: Select all
$DSHOME/bin/UVread RT_LOGnnn //PURGE.SETTINGS

However, couldn't those "purge settings" match the default? Just trying to clarify the difference between them being non-default and actually different. Perhaps that's not an issue if all you care about are which ones have been 'overridden'.

Thanks all! Paul, yes, our developers are aware of the impact on multi-instance jobs. And most of our non-default purge settings at the job level are on these multi-instance jobs. I just need to get a handle on what these are set at. I will check Mr. Bland's site for his utility....or write a script using the command line statement that Ray posted.
Thanks for your help! Greatly appreciated.

He released the code here in the post I linked to. And several more, if I recall correctly, which a search by author could turn up. Not sure he maintains his site any longer nor allows any new access.jonesv wrote:I will check Mr. Bland's site for his utility
