Hi,

Whenever we overlay an existing job using import, the datastage generated log (Director -> logs) is getting cleaned up. Is there any way (any setting while importing or something similar) to restrict this clean-up on log files ?

Thanks.

Raj.

No. If you find that you need historical log information you should extract it and move it into a separate DB. You can find techniques if you search this forum.

As for the reasons why the log is cleared, it's actually removed. Anytime you import a job, all of its existing support tables are dropped and recreated. It is next to impossible to attempt to work around this.

If this "import" is actually a promotion activity, i.e. bringing the latest version of the job into Production from test, then consider using Version Control... unless somehow you can't use it for PX jobs. It will preserve the old logs.
