Welcome aboard.

Research the dsjob command ("command line interface") in the Parallel Job Advanced Developer's Guide or Server Job Developer's Guide (both of which are installed with your DataStage client software).

Hello Resham,

you can use the below command

dsjob -logsum #PrjectName# #JobName#

it will give you the datastage director log.

Regards,

Yes, but the question also specified "latest" job entries. So you should have mentioned the other log options of the dsjob command.

But if reshmakr researches the command a number of benefits will accrue, including a better learning outcome because of the active learning involved, and the added skill of learning where to look.
