Does anyone have any good resources explaining/demonstrating the web services client stage?

Want I'm working on is being able to transfer XML data (either a file or from the DataStage XML stages) to an outside SOAP service and I thought this might a good opportunity to see if DataStage could accomplish this task.

Start from reading the WSPACK_Designer.pdf file. Have fun.

Note that, if you expect a SOAP response, you will need to prefer the Web Services Transformer stage, rather than the Web Services Client stage. All that is in the manual suggested.

Much more informative than lstsaur post

I have some other posts that you might want to browse thru, over at www.dsrealtime.com ...go to the table of contents link at the upper right and find the posts on web services. There are several there with additional tips that might simplify your journey.
