There should have been something specific that came with the PACK itself.

I had installed WebService pack in both the aix and windows machine but i couldnt find any documents along with it. Please if anyone have any links for it send them.

Thanks in advance......,

The CDROM has a readme file on it. Installing the client puts a pdf document in the usual place called WSPACK_Designer.pdf. Neither of which mention any special configuration requirements for the product, btw.

Your problem may be the fact that you are using the stages in a PX job. From the Designer Guide:

Using the Web Services PACK, you can access web service operations within a DataStage Server job. Web Services PACK includes plug-in stages and added functionality in DataStage Server routines.

Emphasis mine. Perhaps a support call is in order? Or are there others here who have successfully used the PACK directly in PX jobs?

Kamal,
We have been using WS PACK's Transformer stage in our parallel jobs successfully. As Craig said that WSPACK_Desinger.pdf will not tell you anything regarding how to configure the LIBPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, SHLIB environment variables. The only thing that we have to do is the configurations of $APT_CONFIG_FILE (we have 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 nodes) and make sure jobs use the correct configuration files.

Kamal --- were these two separate questions? (ie..where to find doc on WS Transformer and separately, where to find doc on the variables?).....I have used WSTransformer in EE and never had to concern myself with any of those sytem vars.

Ernie - this is a continuation of a previous post where usage of this stage in a PX job generates a 'unable to load' error when the job runs. Hence the (possibly) erroneous advice that perhaps some of these system variables are not properly set.

I've used them in Server jobs after installing the PACK, no extra configuration changes needed. Wasn't sure if that was the case with PX jobs as well.
