DataStage logging was changed at release 8.1 to log job run detail records into the operational repository, (xmeta) rather than the local project level log files, (RT_LOGxxx).
In case XMETA repository logging causing problem (i.e not visible from designer), we able to change the logging method back to local project log files.
RTLogging ---> Log will saved in project level log files which is UV binary files
ORLogging ---> Log will saved in XMETA DB
Here are the steps:
1) Log into DS machine
2) Go to /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Projects/
3) Choose you project directory
4) Edit DSParams file
5) Look for RTLogging and ORLogging entries
RTLogging=0
ORLogging=1
6) Change it to
RTLogging=1
ORLogging=0
The logging should now go to project level log files instead of xmeta DB.
Note: We still need to rely on Director client to verbose the log information as the log files data are in binary form.
