Configuration options for project monitoring data

You can configure the options that control the project monitoring data that is stored in the operations database.

Configuration file

The options that are used to configure the collection of monitoring data for all jobs in all projects are set in the DSODBConfig.cfg configuration file. This system-level configuration file is stored in the /Server/DSODB directory in the installation directory.

Some of the options in the system-level configuration file can be overridden for a specific project by placing a project-level configuration file with the same name, DSODBConfig.cfg, in the project directory.

The options shown in Table 1 can be overridden by using a project-level configuration file. Do not specify any other options in the project-level configuration file as they are ignored.

Table 1. Options that control the monitoring of InfoSphere® DataStage® job runs for a specific project
Option	Project-level override
DSODBON	If you set `DSODBON=1` in the system-level configuration file to enable the capturing of monitoring data, set `DSODBON=0` if you do not want to capture monitoring data for this project. If you set `DSODBON=0` in the system-level configuration file to disable the capturing of monitoring data, monitoring data is not captured for this projects even if you set `DSODBON=1`.
MaxWarnings	The setting in the project-level file takes precedence.
CaptureLog	The setting in the project-level file takes precedence. If an ID is not present in the project-level file but is in the system-level file, the system-level setting applies.
IgnoreLog	The setting in the project-level file takes precedence. If an ID is not present in the project-level file but is in the system-level file, the system-level setting applies.
UpdateIntSecs	The setting in the project-level file takes precedence.
MonitorLinks	The setting in the project-level file takes precedence.
CustomBatchId CustomJobType CustomContact CustomSequence CustomField1 CustomField2	The setting in the project-level file takes precedence. If an option is not present in the project-level file but is in the system-level file, the system-level setting applies.
