On a daily basis, someone goes into the Job Schedule, enters the appropriate username, and searches for a multi-step job. At that time, they right click on the job and select View Job to open and copy information from the log. I know where the individual .prt files are stored for each of the 198 steps for this job. I need to know where the job log that is being displayed so I can automate this process.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The job logs are stored in $LAWDIR/system/joblog with a name of jobname.pid. the jobname is truncated on my system but I'm not sure if that is a AIX only constraint.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the quick reply. After looking at my directory structure I don't seem to have the joblog directory in my system. See attached. Any other ideas?

Perhaps you just don't have permissions -- it should be under the system folder -- lsfprod\law\system\joblog\-files-

We are a Windows shop and I can verify what @Bob Canum says is not just an AIX oddity. All of our job names that have 8 characters in them appear as a 7 character joblog name followed by a period and the PID.

Based on command I use in SYSCMD nodes, I do believe we are using Lynx.

So at one point it was jobname(7).pid.
I don’t recall when it changed, but it is now slightly different.

Format: jobname(left 7).jobnbr
Job number is from the QUEUEDJOB table.

So in (ba/k/mk)sh: you could use the following declarations:

typeset -l jobname
typeset -L7 jobname
typeset -i jobnbr

“${LAWDIR}/system/joblog/${jobname}.${jobnbr}”
