Thanks

I searched in Google and only found "Web Business Intelligence" but no specific database or data format so I am at a loss as well.

Probably IBM WebSphere Business Integrator, an old version of WebSphere MQ Broker.

I am afraid I don't quite understand your question:
WBI is not a repository of data of any kind. It works as a router and reformatter of data but it does not storage it.

Your questions is a little vague, so I can only guess what you are trying to accomplish:
If you are looking for a DataStage Job Node to be included in a WBI Message Flow, it does not exist.
If what you need is a WBI Msg Flow Stage to use within a DataStage Job, it does not exist either.

But, you can try using WMQ queues as a mediator between both products.

Hope this helps :wink:

You may be able to interface using an External Filter (or External Source or External Target) stage but, of course, what happens "inside" this stage actually happens outside of DataStage.
