Hi,
We have a requirement to make http:// call from datastage which I understand is different from web service call. I tried to search through forums but could not find relevant information. Can someone please help.
I was able to make web service call using Web_Services_Client stage, but could not call a normal http://.
Call https:// from server job

It is also useful to know more about exactly what you are trying to do with the Web Service, and what type of service it is....some things to think about:
Ernie
- Is it a REST based Web Service?
Is it delivering a json or xml payload to you? ...or just some .csv data or other type of data?
How often will you call it? ...three times a day? ...or 300 times per second?
How much data is in the return payload?
How many of these web services do you have to invoke? (one or two for a particular application? ....or hundreds as part of a whole web services infrastructure?)

If you aren't processing a response payload from the service, consider just using something like curl from the command line. I haven't done it myself, but I have talked to a lot of folks who use that all the time for their REST calls.....it ought to work for any http invocation. Just use a before/after job subroutine or similar....or the command stage, depending on the release and job edition that you are using.
