XML functionality TX vs SOa
Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2005 8:29 am
Hello Forum,
My client will be processing some XML files as part of batch processes. They have no need for real time processing or web services or messaging functionality.
It would seem that both TX and SOA extensions have XML parsing/transformation features.
1. If my goal is only to process XML files for batch processes, will I require the TX product, or with the XML transformer stage, the XML input and XML output stages be sufficient?
2. Is there a subset of XML documents that cannot be parsed/transformed in DataStage Soa Extensions that can be parsed in TX?
3. Are there any significant performance issues in processing XML files in Soa Extension's stages versus TX XML functionality?
Quite simply, I don't want to have to buy TX if Soa Extensions functionality will suffice.
Your input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Greg
