How to invoke or run a job from Webpage..
Hi all,
I have 2 categories of Jobs...1. Local Validations 2. Global Validations
Also the front end is Web Entry tool through which the file is uploaded into DB...and then the Job is scheduled or manually invoked..
I want to know whether can I give flexibilty to the web user to invoke the Jobs from the Web atleast for Local Validations which should run evrey 30min or so...

saadmirza,
as DataStage has a command line tool to invoke, control and report on jobs, all you would need to do is invoke your web server package exit functionality. This is different depending upon your platform and package (apache, MS, etc.) as well as configuration, but easily implemented once you know the functionality.
And I also vaguely remember seeing something about software to allow DS Director type functionality from a thin client. I think it was Ray and some sort of a dashboard product from Ascential - it might be worth looking at their web pages.

I not sure exactly what you are looking for but DsWebMon will start and stop any job from the web. You can view logs and monitor or anything you want. You can get a free 30 day evaluation by going to

You can view the manual or downlaod it at:

One DsWebMon can control multiple DataStage servers. The look and fell of this is very well done. It is a little tricky to setup IIS otherwise it will drop characters but that only takes minutes and there is a couple of avi files you can download and show what to do. There is one setting not in the avi which you need to set which is only in the manual.
Thanks Kim.

Kim - thanks for adding to the thread, I had a vague recollection of your posting the tool but couldn't remember the details. I have had enough of trying to program exits from web servers - it just never seems to work as simply as the docs lead you to believe.

You can convert any DataStage job into a Web service using the RTI (real time interface, now called SOA (service oriented architecture)) components.
If you need to pass XML documents to and fro, simply add the stages that read and write these.
Apart from needing to register the job as a Web service, that's really all there is to it.
For name and address validation particularly, one of more of the stages in the above design might well invoke QualityStage components.
Code: Select all
RTI Input ---> stages ---> RTI Output
Code: Select all
RTI Input ---> XML Reader ---> stages ---> XML Writer ---> RTI Output
