Calling DS Job through web page

santosh · Post by **santosh** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 12:42 am

Hi all,
We have a requirement to trigger datastage job via web page. When submit button is clicked, underlying job should run and web page should display error/ success result.

I am proposing to write to write some ASP/java web page. on button click it will call DS job thru UNIX interface and display error/success condition.

Wanted to check, if this is fine or any other options are available?

regards,
Santosh

Santosh,

that's the way I've used it before in the past, as far as I know IBM/Ascential don't have any other method to do this from a web server.

If you were doing a lot of these you could go for the RTI pack and call it as a web service.

Hi,
It's a seperate lisence (and costs additional money).
Basicly it allows you some EAI interaction such as web services and publishing an ETL job as a web service, hence call-able from your internet application.
Go to the provider's site Or contact your provider for more details.

IHTH,
