AutoClass and DataStage

[Shree0410]

hi guys, my project is to integrate the data between different target systems using DataStage
One of these target systems will return the same data that I sent to it with one extra column being appended in the end.
This target system uses scheduler functionality of AutoClass.

Can you help on how AutoClass can communicate with DataStage to let DataStage know the file from that target system is ready?

I can use a file watcher in the DataStage job, but I do not want my job to wait too long if the Target systems takes 2 or 3 days to process the file.

Thanks

You can specify the timeout in the wait for file activity stage. This way your job doesnt have to wait for an indefinate period of time.

Or have AutoClass do the 'file watch' and only run the job if/when it shows up.
