Log files are stored as hashed files and cannot be directly viewed. You can use the "dsjob -logsum" or "dsjob -logdetail" to output a job's log to stdoutput, which you can redirect to a file.

DataStage jobs are not stored in any readily retrievable form either. They are stored as object and configuration records in a database. At runtime these data are read and used to execute your ETL process.

or

from unix command prompt u try like this.

change the directory as( /opt/dsSoftware/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine/bin )

U (one of DSXchange's members) has not participated in this thread. Why are you giving advice to U?

The second person personal pronoun in English is spelled "you". We prefer a professional standard of written English at DSXchange.

I think you're on a hiding to nothing with your good English crusade. If you want to be consistent have a look at the original post by 'chvenkat.v' - he uses terms like 'pls' and 'thnks'!

Senator Clinton isn't giving up - why should I?

I happen to believe it's important.

OddJob - I am in the same camp as Ray and I'm not a native English speaker. I believe using SMS-like English is an abuse of the English language that doesn't belong in a professional forum such as this one.

I've stopped being as active as Ray in mentioning abuses of the written language. What I have started doing is to tend to ignore and not respond to posts written in shorthand.

I agree entirely with your sentiment - my point was that Ray tackled krisna for the use of 'u', when the original poster was as guilty (if not more so) of use slang abbreviations.

Is there no way of reporting to a moderator for personal attention rather than going off topic to make this point?

No, moderators really aren't "grammar police" and shouldn't be. PM's to the really bad offenders haven't worked in the past, so all that is left is posting recommendations. It is the poster's right to ignore any such suggestions just as it is any reponder's right to ignore such posts.

I'm not a moderator in these forums, so I go "off color" (to Dark Red) when making these points.

I must have been tired to miss the delinquencies in the initial post.
