Run datastage jobs from other application

Post by alex999 »

Hi all

Tell me please if it is possible to run datastage job from different application?

We've been developing .NET application and we need to run datastage job with a button in this application... is it possible?

Where does this other application run? Typical answer would be to leverage dsjob from the command line on the ETL server. Is that a possibility?

To my knowledge, if you have to run DataStage jobs from another application, you will have to use the "dsjob" command, either the client or the server version of it.

The IBM documentation below

You could also create a WSDL job and call that transformation from a REST api.

Really depends on what you want to do.

... and your experience with the tool. From what I recall, they are brand spanking new to it.

The dsjob command serves as an example of how to use the DataStage API. You may as well use dsjob, as it's supported, but my point is that you can create your own.

That is correct. the DataStage API is there for you to use --

A long time ago (around 7.5, I believe), the dsjob even had their source code included in the documentation, but that was removed.
