Generating a job report

You can generate a job report.

Procedure

  1. Open the job you want to report on in the Designer and choose File > Generate Report... (if you have updated the job since it was last saved, you are prompted to save it). The Enter report details window opens.
  2. Specify a name for the report. The Reporting Console folder field shows you the location where the report is saved to.
  3. Type a description of the report.
  4. Choose Use Default Stylesheet to use the default XSLT stylesheet supplied with IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® (the report is generated in XML, the stylesheet converts it to HTML, suitable for viewing in a browser). You can also define a custom stylesheet for this purpose, in which case choose Use custom stylesheet and type in, or browse for, the pathname of your stylesheet. Any stylesheets that you supply must use UTF-8 encoding. The default stylesheet is DSJobReport.xsl or DSMainframeJobReport.xsl for mainframe jobs - both located in the InfoSphere DataStage client directory for example, C:\IBM\InformationServer\Clients\Classic.
  5. Select Retain intermediate XML file to have InfoSphere DataStage retain the XML file that it initially generates when producing a report. Specify the folder in which to save the xml file.
  6. Click OK to generate the report.
