A Universe table? No, there's one per job. If you are on 8.7+ there is the Operations Console or you could script something using dsjob from the command line.

I really wanted to avoid the dsjob with a script but that might be my best option. One last thought though. When you us DSJOBINFO in a transformer will it only work for the job that is currently running? For example what if I have a list of jobs and I pass them through the transformer. I then call
DSGetJobInfo(inputlink.JobField,DSJ_JOBSTARTTIMESTAMP) When I do this from my csv list I just get -1 values for all rows.
