Query XMETA for bulk job statuses

Post by iShoreETL »

Greetings DSX'ers....

I know that DSJob.exe gives us a XML based status of a job.
Job Name, Start Date, End Date, Status.

I am aware this information is stored in XMETA database (which we have in SQL Server).

I do not want to start querying there without knowing what I'm doing.

Has anyone created a query that will give you the same data, but altogether as a recordset? we have over 500 PRL/SRVR/SEQ jobs and calling DSJob.exe is very inefficient. Can we do it via SQL Query against XMETA? and if so, how?

thanks.

What makes you think that this is the case? Can you provide a reference?

Last time I looked (version 8.7) job status was still stored in RT_STATUSnnn in the local (project) repository.
