Hey Guys ,
Trying to archive logs of a Project (preferably in a readable mode) before I purge them on a regular basis for the project.
If I do not find an easier way , then we can't purge the log files in the project which may not be a best practice.
Thanks

How are you trying to accomplish this? Regardless, you need to build a process to read them out of the log tables and then store them in your archive of choice, be that flat files or database tables or what have you. You'll find lots of posts on this subject and "ETLStats" will come up in many of them. It is a suite of utilities that Kim Duke gives away from his website that does all of that (and more) for you.
If you want to "roll your own", the is an API for that, either from a Server / BASIC side or from the command line. The former uses the "DSGet*" functions you can find documented in the online help and the latter is accomplished via "dsjob" from the command line which has all of the equivalent functionality.
