Monitoring of Datastage jobs

I am new to the Datastage world. How do we integrate Datastage jobs with CA Unicenter so that we can monitor the health of jobs running in Datastage? For any errors encountered with Datastage jobs, alerts have to be generated. How do we achieve this ?

DataStage Director is the tool used in DataStage to monitor the process status.

If you trigger the DataStage sequence process through a scheduling tool like Autosys / Control-M, they will get the summary status i.e success / failure status from DataStage to Scheduling tool.

You can bring in standard sub process like sending email, updating the record count and other key detials in the database table as part of the monitoring process.

Hope this helps.

Welcome aboard.

Presumably you use the command line interface (dsjob) from CA Unicenter to start your DataStage jobs. Use the -jobstatus option to have it report the job status when the job finishes, or later use the -jobinfo option to interrogate the job's status from the DataStage repository.
