Basically - RTI allows you to deploy your ETL jobs *as* web services. The PACK allows an ETL job to *call* a web service.

From memory, the PACK also allows you to use a web server log as a data source. That is, you can trace every click on the web server, see what pages folks visited, how long they spent there, and so on, as a source of data for another application, even a DW.

Thank you so much for the info....is very helpful!! :)

I want to develope an RTI job but don't know how to test it. I am not a web developer. My experience with web developement goes as far as creating a few simple web pages using the Microsoft Front-Page but don't know if that would work to do this.
Does anyone have any ideas :idea: how I can do this :?:

Check this thread but skip the first three posts. :wink:

Ernie posted some information on testing web services. Or have a chat with any resources you have at your company who do that for a living.

Drop me an email (eostic@us.ibm.com) and I can send you a .dsx with some sample jobs in it that illustrate most of the "basic" patterns that are used for DataStage Jobs published as web services.
