Do you have the webservice pack?

If you do it it easy, either create a job that writes records to the webservice stage, or you can call the webservice from a routine which datastage writes for you through Manager once you have the webservice pack installed.

I've only used this breifly once but it was easy to implement if the webservice architecture is already there.

I'm guessing that if they had that pack, they wouldn't be asking the question.

To add what Nick said, you wouldn't call a web service from a Sequence job directly but rather a job or 'utility' running under that Sequence. And without the pack, that means you'll need to write something outside of DataStage to invoke it - which would also mean it would need to land its output, I would think.

so, it's no inclued in DataStage ? it's an aditional pack ?

No, not included. Yes, an additional PACK that must be purchased if you want that functionality.
