Don't you ever bother to Search?

There is no such thing as a log file in DataStage. Now search on...

What you want to read in log files and what you want to send mail for? Pls. describe.

In Datastage Director tool you can output job log into text file and use that text file to mail it yourself...

Try researching on the dsjob command. There is an option to dump out the log details.

In other words, there's no need to know "where" they are stored, there is a perfectly good API - BASIC or command line accessable - to fetch log information.

As Craig said that "there is a perfectly good API - BASIC or command line accessable - to fetch log information. ".

There is no need to access the storage.
Just for your information log details are stored in hashed files named RT_LOGxxx in side your project directory for 8.0 or earlier. Haven't worked on 8.1 but it seems like in 8.1 logs are stored in xmeta.

But don't mess with them. Just use routines or scripts to fetch them.

Also search would have revealed this information much earlier. Try to use search option before you post.
