Updates
Patch 1 for Service Pack 1 to BMC Database Automation enables you to determine and collect the output of an Action's run. In previous versions, you could query the status of a job from the command line (pass or fail), but not query errors that might come from those jobs. To determine the actual output from the Action's run, you had to download the log package for the Action's run, unpack it, manually read the log files to determine which file contained the stdout from the Action's run, and then copy that file elsewhere to be further processed outside of BMC Database Automation.
In this patch, two new command line interface tools, job_output_status.pl and job_output.pl, provide the ability to retrieve the standard output (stdout) and standard error (stderr) files from an Action, enabling you to trigger different activities based on that output. Both of the output files are available for viewing or downloading by clicking the appropriate button corresponding to the output file displayed in the Job Output section in the Job Summary page. When viewing the output file, you can also copy the contents to paste elsewhere for analysis or troubleshooting.
