sequence log clarifacation

[vamsi.4a6]

we have one sequence which consists of 10 parallel jobs.I need to capture the log for all 10 jobs+sequence from unix in a text file whenever i run the sequence.

Approach:Use dssearch command to get the list of jobs and for each job get the log information using dsjob command.I am thinking is there any other way which simplifies my approach?

No, not really. You can do as you noted from the command line or the equivalent functions exist in the BASIC API, so you could also do it via Job Control.

Why?

The logs are right there to be viewed in Director.

@ray

Thanks for input.We have auto purge enabled and In production we want to capture how many records are processed,how many records are loaded,is there any warnings,is all activities in the sequence ran or not etc.i Think we can get above information using logs.


@chullet

If I wrote the logic using BASIC API,in that case do i need to include the basic routine in every job sequence?.I want to trigger this BASIC API code whenever sequence job is triggered(success or failure).Not sure how to proceed?

[ray.wurlod]

If you were writing the BASIC routine I'd call it either through a Routine activity as the final activity of the sequence, or in a controlling sequence that runs "your" sequence.

Some of the information you may want to get directly from the job itself, rather than the log. And we've just had conversations on this subject (actually there are tons on the site), I'll see if I can link in the most recent one.
