With InfoSphere DataStage 8.7 now Director’s Log Detail window has been
integrated into Designer. With this feature, users can access the
full set
of job run-time information directly alongside their job design, thus
simplifying the development life cycle. You will also note that
additional job control buttons (job stop/job reset) are provided in the
log toolbar. It not only saves additional connection to Server from
Director but uses less resources on client machine as required to open
additional director.
