whats is RTI package .what is its usage.

Have you tried searching, the manuals, pdf help files

The 'RTI package' no longer exists, it is now known as the 'SOA Edition'. RTI stood for Real Time Interface and SOA allows jobs to be deployed as web services and run in 'real time'. There's more to it than that, but there's the Executive Summary.

Pardon my ignorance. I'm searching to see how this whole picture fits together. We have the Datastage 8.0.1 Server Edition installed. I'm reading in many places that I can expose my DS jobs in a web service, which would be brilliant for for requirements. I'm searching through the console and documentation and I'm really struggling to come close to a solution.

1) Do I need extra software or another edition of DS?
2) if not, where and how do I expose the DS jobs to a web service?

They changed the name yet again for the 8.x releases. From what I recall seeing here and talking to Ernie, it is now known as WISD and is included with the base product.

Thanks for the advice. That really helped for future development.
The WISD allows your jobs to accept web service posts and returns data.

However, what about my current jobs that I want to just be able to execute when ever necessary? i.e. expose the jobs to a web service where you can just execute them. And once successful continue. with the rest of the application.

AFAIK, both sets of functionality should be there "out of the box" - for jobs to access web services and to expose a job as a service. The "RTI Input" and "RTU Output" stages are used for that, but for all I know they have new names as well.

Maybe Ernie will wander in here and add some Words of Wisdom on the subject.
