Are you clear about what WISD is for? It is not for connecting to web services, it is for exposing your job as a web services. Connecting to web services is an entirely different kettle of fish. Please clarify what it is you wish to accomplish.

WISD stages are for publishing DS Jobs "as" services........ Web Services Stages are for the opposite --- for "invoking" services from within DS....

Open up the \Stage Types\Parallel\Real Time branch of your repository.
Open the properties of each stage type in turn noting in particular what's documented in the Long Description field. This should answer your question.

Is there any other way for connecting to a web service other than webservices client.
In my job WISD input and WISD output are used for capturing the data from webservice.So how is my job connected to a web service.
please let me know...

Thanks,
Rahul

Seriously, you need to spend some time reading the docs and just doing some general study on the subject of web services. There are a ton of resources out there, so it's not like they're hard to find.

As Ernie noted, the WISD Input and/or WISD Output stages are for when you want to expose your job as a web service, not for "calling" one. As noted, you'd need one of the Web Service stages in your job to invoke a service and which one you use depends on the nature of the invocation you need to do - i.e. the WS Client for a one time 'sourcing' call or the WS Transformer to call one for each row through a job are a couple of examples.

As noted, double-click on the stages in the repository browser and read their Long Description. Find the RTI/SOA/WISD documentation and spend some serious time with them. It's not something you'll learn from a post or two on a web board, instead you'll need to invest some time and study on your own to be successful.

Sure chulett, thanks a lot

I will spend time on reading the documents...and will let you know if I need something .I have redbook PDF on SOA so I guess that would be fine.

Thanks,
Rahul

I did. Whether or not U wants to is a different question.

The second person personal pronoun in English is spelled "you".
