DataStage Engine Log files

Hi,

I am looking for a log file which includes/ records activities around DSEngine. For example when it went down, when it was brought UP, what caused the Engine to crash.

Thanks
Yogesh

There's no such thing as far as I know, it doesn't seem to maintain a log like that. I believe you can create a file called "errorlog" in the DSEngine directory and it will log certain problems there but it doesn't track the kind of 'activities' you are looking for from what I remember.

The file name is actually errlog. If you create it it exists and logs engine errors. Don't forget to make it writable.

Code: Select all

cd `cat /.dshome`
touch errlog
chmod 777 errlog

Ah... that explains why the one I found called "errorlog" was empty. Figured everything was perfect.
