Hi,
it depend of the controlm server retention parameter for ctmlog, but if you want a so old job log in archive view point, ctmlog retention must be grather than 30 days, if you want sysout to, sysout retention must be set to the same too.
Control-M/EM server, must retain that parameter too, to keep the 30 days archives.

I think it could just be done on small datacenter (about 1000 jobs) if you don't have too much datacenter (less than 5).

Another way is to save the ctmlog, that just allow you to cat the archive file that you daily made, and retrieve the log of the job in it.

hope anderstanding.

abishek,

I created a job that runs right after newday to save the previous nights ctmlog:

ctmlog list %%$PREV 0600 %%$DATE 0600 /opt/bmc/controlm/backup/ctmlog%%$PREV..txt

If you keep a saved copy of the log each day (which is a very good idea) make sure you run a job every month or so to delete old logs that are no longer needed (those over 30 days, 60 days old or whatever). They do take up significant disk space.

The logs are saved as text files so compressing them works well to save some space. In our case, it reduces the file size by about 90%.

Archival of log information for a longer period may work with the methods described above. But if you are concerned about the long term availability of Control-M logs and sysouts, you may need to look for a professional (but still affordable) solution like APS Sysview for Control-M.
