I am tring to use Web Service client to call Web service in datastage V8.1. Following the ds instructions.

1) Import WSDL.
2) Select the web service in web service client stage.

but I don't know how to put the input parameters of Web service request into stage.

There are two parametes required. system code: alpa, input date: 2011-01-01.

The way .net application call webservice is using following format.

<CalculationsRequest><SourceSystem>LLS</SourceSystem><ReportStartDate>2010-09-01</ReportStartDate></CalculationsRequest>

I don't have access to DataStage right now, so I can't tell you exactly what it says, but the input arguments are specified within the Stage itself. It should be fairly clear from the GUI --- you can hard code the values or use Job Parameters....it's on one of the tabs.

if i am not wrong, you should expose your job as web service and pass the parameters and call the webservice from the external application.
