I'm very new to the DataStage and want to find more about dsjob command. Currently someone login to DataStage client and checks the logs for the job and I want to automate this process. Somebody suggested me this command.

Any help to explore this command is appreciated...

Welcome. :D

You've certainly chosen a non-trivial task for someone 'very new' to DataStage to tackle. It may be mitigated somewhat, however, by sticking with the 'dsjob' utility which basically turns this into a scripting exercise.

Read the Command Line Interface section of the Server Job Developer's Guide pdf manual, that is the first place to start. You should find it in the 'Docs' sub-folder where you Client software is installed, assuming you have a client on your machine.
