Collecting Job Logs on the Java-based DPX Management Interface

Take the following steps to collect job logs on the Java-based DPX Management Interface:

  1. In the Java-based DPX Management Interface, open the Monitor Jobs tab or open the Review Scheduled Jobs window from the task pane.
  2. Right-click a job whose status is either “Completed”, “Failed”, or “Canceled”, and click one of the following options:

  • Collect Logs

    Collect and archive logs of the selected job in TAR format, log-collection-<timestamp>.tar, where <timestamp> represents the start time of the last repetitive job in the UNIX time format.

  • Collect All Job Logs

    Collect and archive all job logs in TAR format, and store this archive file: Master-job-logs-only.tar.

Ensure that you can open the log archive files in the logs directory of the Catalogic DPX Master Server.

For more information, refer to the following documents:

A user can look at a log file by using any file editor, either command line or script oriented, that opens ordinary text files.

To enable the Node-Based Logging model, you must turn on the Boolean environmental variable, SSCOMMONLOG, on each node. The Module-Based logs are generated regardless of this setting.
