Report of users activity in DS

Is there any way to find out what users logged in to DataStage within a specific date range? Or maybe for me to generate a monthly report of all the users sessions in the past month.

Also, is there a way to report on all the commands issued by users via their Administrator client ?

Thanks

I'm not aware of where the login information might be stored, it could be in some XMETA table that I haven't encountered yet.

To the second part of the question - unfortunately no, there is no logging of what commands are executed via the Administrator.

I was wondering if there was any report we can create using the web console that would capture and report the sessions. Web console will show you the current sessions..

There isn't (at least not in current versions).

You could build your own, but would need knowledge of how the DataStage Engine ("UniVerse") works, in particular techniques for intercepting logins. That is too big a topic to cover here.
