dsjob question

[krisp321]

Hi
I want to trigger mail using UNIX shell script by getting the job status of datastage job using dsjob command.

I tried to get jobstatus as soon as job execution is completed.

Here is what I am doing in shell..
executing job using dsjob command and in next step
i am trying to find the status of job using -jobstatus of dsjob

Here is what I observed
I am getting correct jobstatus only after few seconds of completion of Job when I see that updation in datastage Director. May be after 10 secs)
But immediately after completing the job execution, I am still getting prev. execution status of job. only if i try to find jobstatus when it get updated in director i get the correct status using dsjob.

My question is, can I get jobstatus correctly as soon as execution is completed and how. Thanks. Any help is really appreciated.

No need for the second step, use the -jobstatus option of dsjob, it will wait until complete and then the return status will be of the job: 1,2,3, etc.

Note that options -wait and -jobstatus are mutually exclusive. If you use -wait you will need to remove it to use -jobstatus option.
