BEMCLI - getting a job log in xml format

Hi guys,

 

I hope you can help me. I am using BEMCLI module in Powershell and I would like to receive a job log in xml format. Directly, using Get-BEJobLog you can receive the log file in txt or html format. Do you know a easy way to receive the log file on xml format?

    I am not in front of the console at the moment, so if you need further details let me know. The. Get_BEJobHistory cmdlet has a field which give you the path to the joblog which is in XML format

    Hi Guys,

     

    thanks for your reply. Right, Get_BEJobHistory provides the xml path.

     

    I wish you a good day.

    Just as an FYI if that gives the path and .xml file name, then the file itself might be missing the formatting if just copied. Which is why support often ask customer with active support cases to save the job logs as .html due to our gather tools would only get the unformatted .xml versions (which are much harder to read)

     

    Kind of depnds on if you want to open the result in a browser, or parse the file with some kind of script as to how useful it might be.
