Information Server provides an option called DataStage SOA Edition (or RTI) in release 7.x.y, and in version 8 it is known as the Information Services Director. It allows you to publish wholesale DS jobs as Services, or to have the job "logic" be published as a service, where the inputs and outputs are the clients of those services. It provides load balancing, ensured service delivery and a host of other performance options, in addition to alternate bindings for SOA, where Web Services may not be the only desired protocol for invocation.

Both Admin. and User pdf files are in the documentation folder of RTICD.
Assumed that you have a license for RTI.

In other words, unless you have an 8.x version you need to purchase RTI/SOA in order to expose jobs as services.

Well, if you have those two stages then you have RTI. No-one is going to be able to explain everything about RTI in a post here, you'd really need to attend a class. That or bring in an experienced consultant to get you started.

Best place to start would be the RTI pdf documents included with the product. There is both a User Guide and an Admin Guide for your reading pleasure. :wink:

Again, if you have the product you have the dang documentation. It ships on the CDROM in pdf format, surely you can get your hands on that, yes?

No i have IS8 installed on my PC, so i dont have that doc, the documents provided with IS8 is not enough as far as the Webservices thing is concerned.

I don't have the url handy from where I'm working, but it's all up on the ibm site also.... if memory serves, fire up the help that takes you to the doc on the website...poke around and you'll find the update parts on Information Services Director....I don't think the doc made it first time around to the media (it's been available for a year, so it may depend on when you installed).
