How can I run a WISD job on demand?

Post by rahul8055 »

Hello,
How are the jobs who have source and target as WISD scheduled on demand? I mean when a website calls a webservice the job should run by itself and send an output to the target. Is there any way to schedule a job to run on demand?

WISD Jobs with ISD input and ISD output are by nature "always on"......they are "waiting" for input. You could set the minimum to zero and then the first request will trigger it and start it...and tthen it will remain "always on" until the timeout algorithm kicks in.

A job that does NOT have WISDInput Stage is simply triggered by the request itself....very easy way to launch a job rather than having to use Job control, and any Job Parms can be supplied by the service client.

What are you trying to accomplish?

thanks for the reply,

thats fine.....can you please let me know how is the WISD input or WISD output connected to a webservice and how to run a job with there WISD.
I believe this is different from regular running of a job.kindly let me know the complete difference between the regular jobs with database as source and target and these webservices jobs.

thanks

Too much to describe. There is a whole document dedicated to the Information Services Director. The Information Services Director is what publishes jobs as Web Services --- one of the options for such jobs is to have them be "always on"......and that's when they have a WISDInput Stage. The ISD manual goes into great detail on how to publish such jobs as a web service, with a variety of bindings, etc. I also have some details on this subject at my blog. Check out the table of contents.

Or are noted, read the documentation. It's there for a reason.
