Here's what to do:

  Job foo foo.sub
  Script Post foo foo.post $JOB $JOBID

($JOB is the DAG node name, and $JOBID is the Condor ID for the job.)

in foo.post:

  (get jobname and jobid from command-line arguments)
  condor_history -l $jobid > $jobname.$jobid.snapshot.ca

(Of course, the exact syntax depends on what language your post script is 
written in, but hopefully this gives enough of an example to work things 
out.)
