We don't do "urgent".

DSXchange is an all-volunteer site whose members post as and when they can. When you posted it was around about 3am where Ernie (WISL while you work) Ostic, our guru in all things ISD, lives - chances are he was asleep.

If you need urgent help, sign up with your official support provider for priority service, and learn just how much "urgent" costs.

Hi,

Does anybody has any idea about implementing the security part in DataStage for WSDL?

It's built into the Stages. There is a tab on the stage for specifying security and whether you want SSL encryption or not.... this is for basic HTTP authentication, which most sites use.

...importing the WSDL is not always so easy though--- you may need to obtain a copy of the WSDL locally...the importer doesn't have an HTTP option.

...strongly consider also having an external tool available to test the service with. Rational Data Architect or many of the other IBM Eclipse based tools have a Web Service Explorer option....I also like a few other tools like SOAPscope (from Mindreef now part of Progress) and StrikeIron...
