Hi everyone,

I'm looking for insights or documentation on a few DataStage-related topics in CP4D (4.8 and later). I’d appreciate any guidance, references, or experiences you can share around the following areas:

  • Incident Checklist: A troubleshooting guide for DataStage incidents — what to check first, which logs are most relevant, how to test connections, which pods or routes to verify, how to identify impacted jobs or flows, etc.

  • Monitoring: Key indicators to monitor in both DataStage and OpenShift. What do you track, and why?

  • Log Maintenance / Rotation: Suggestions for automating or scheduling log rotation, especially for execution records and datasets, to avoid performance issues due to file bloat.

  • Backup & Recovery: Feedback on the reliability of CLI-based backups, any challenges experienced when restoring flows, and best practices or improvements you’ve adopted.

Thanks in advance for any input or pointers you can share.

Agustin Di Giuseppe.
