DSXchange

Friends,
Just wondering on how to get this one done.
When a job fails, is there a way to just capture the 'Fatal' log entry in the job log and send it out as an email ?

Are you happy to write a routine?
You can call it from a Routine activity in the controlling job sequence.
Use DSGetNewestLogId() to get the most recent fatal error, or DSGetLogSummary() to get all of them.
Then use DSSendMail() to send the email.

And at the unix level you can detect for job failure and get the FATAL error message by using dsjob -logsum with TYPE as FATAL, I believe. Store that in a file and then send an email using mailx.

I just wrote a script last week. May be useful for you.
You can use this code to fetch the warning or fatal error occured the job's latest entry. You can output to standard output or to a file.

Hello everyone, I am looking to do the exact same thing as the original poster. I have a few questions about Kumar_s's script.

Q1: Line 1,2,3: Your script expects input parameters of Project, Job and Filename. If I have a job sequence with 10 jobs and the 5th one failed, how do I know what "Job" is?

Q2: Line 81: What is $4, the 4th parameter?

Q3: Line 15,16,42: You are expecting the year, month, timestamp and day values to be passed. Shouldn't you be just taking the current system values?

Q4: If I want to call this when a sequence job aborts, where would I put this code?

I would appreciate it if anybody could answer these questions. Thanks.

Hi,
I got a query for the post...
which parameter is $4?
Can I use DSRUNJOB script of Ascential to run the sequence?

The "$4" used with awk just prints the fourth column from the output, in this case will print only the fatal or warning ID, so you don't have to give that as input. This script (kumar's post) is a shell script and needs to be invoked from the sequence in the event of a failure and hence has to be incorporated in your job sequence.

By the way, did you try including the job status in the email using the built in functionality?

Thanks for clarification. By using built in stage ,I am able to send only job status( finished/finished with warning/aborted) only..So I am trying to write a Routine/Script which will capture the error msg also from log...
While searching I came across this script...

I have one more qn,if the job is trying to capture log of job,so basically it will read from DS log file. So in param file I should mention the path also...
I may be wrong ,so can you please clarify it..

Thanks in advance..

I honestly don't believe this to be true. It's been awhile, but from what I remember it actually does include the failure message(s) from any problem job when you enable that option. If I get a chance, I'll test that out on my system.

Thanks for reply.
Than I am not aware of it.Can you please guide me ...

Well, do this: in your job sequence, take a notification activity from the palette and open it's properties (the place where you have to mention the to and from addresses as well as the subject and body) and look for the check box of "Include job status in email" and switch it on and then see what happens.

Thanks for your help.
This process is working fine,but my requirement is different.
Here error msg sent is static.I want to capture error msg from job log & sent through mail notification.

Can you please help me out.

No, while the body text you supply in the stage would be 'static', checking the 'Include job status' option would dynamically include the error text as well.

Have you actually tried it with a failing sequence? Did your experience not match the advice given?
