trigger jobs by events and if datastage supports web service

SPA_BI · Post by **SPA_BI** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 7:47 pm

Hi,

Can datastage jobs be triggered by events from another server? Say I have a transaction on server 'a1', and after that transaction completes, I want to run a datastage job on the server 'a2'. Is that doable?

Also does datastage have any support for service oriented architecture, like web services etc.

Thanks

The command line program dsjob lets jobs be started on a remote system, the syntax is dsjob -server {name} -user {name} -password {name} -run -mode NORMAL {project} {job}[/b]

That means I'll need to copy the dsjob program to the 'a1' server right? Where is dsjob located?

No, it means you need to look into issuing 'remote shell' commands.

And yes, DataStage has support for SOA, like web services, etc.

rsh would be better if DataStage isn't also installed on your a1 server. But you can copy the program over from the $DSHOME/bin directory. I'm not sure if it needs any libraries on UNIX.

Hi, where can I find more information on DstaStage's SOA support, is it a plug-in we need to buy? Where can I find to documentation/white paper for it?

I just went to www.ibm.com and did a search on "DataStage SOA" and got several references to red books, pdf files and other documents.

The first big hit is This page

Hi, that all seem like it's for Datastage 8. Has anyone ever used SOA in Datastage 7.5. If so, any comments regarding the SOA feature in DS 7.5?

It's not just for 8.x as a glance through the SOA Edition forum here would reveal. I'm currently using it with 7.5.1A, what kind of information are you looking for?
