DSXchange

I have a requirement where Datastage job needs to get fired whenever some files are generated in a remote system.The job needs to process those files as well.Please suggest the mechanism to do such polling & invoking DataStage job real-time.

Thanks

Remote system triggers job, dsjob or API. UNIX script polls for files and launches job. Looping Sequence job with Wait For File or scripted poll. All kinds of ways.

For the remote system to trigger a DS job I think it requires to have some kind of remote shell invokation permission to run 'dsjob' command.

You'd need a user you could ssh to on the DataStage server, yes. Or something equivalent.

Is there any other way of invoking a remote event based DataStage job

whats the best way of creating kind of 'always running' datastage job.I am using v8,is there any advanced feature to handle this.

Use quality Stage.
Create a job to listen always to particular port, and process the incoming file to that port.

WISD... formerly RTI, formerly SOA... you can expose a job as a web service.
