Procedure

  1. Configure the options that control how IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® job runs are monitored.

    Normally, all fatal messages, all control messages, and the first N warning messages of a run are captured, where N is specified by the MaxWarnings option. The capturing of these messages can be modified by the CaptureLog and the IgnoreLog options. The severity of a message is looked at after any message handlers have been invoked, which might have adjusted the severity of the message or discarded the message.

  2. Configure the options that control how InfoSphere DataStage job run usage is monitored.
  3. Configure the options that control how InfoSphere DataStage system resource usage is monitored.
  4. Configure the options that define the default port numbers for sockets used to communicate between various processes.
