one more. e) test it with a Server Job, using a Folder Stage to feed the xml Input Stage. Use the built in "Folder" table definition on the link. To mimic the behavior of the External Source, choose to fully qualify the filename at the Folder Stage and specify the filename column at the xm...

Can't say for sure, but here are some things to try: a) try another document, especially if this is your first time doing xml stage. b) make sure that you have "url" checked at the input link of the xmlInput Stage c) send the External Source to a sequential file Stage directly. Are you get...

To be certain the environment "works" and that it isn't simply something else, find out if the provider of the service has an http edition of it (without any security).

Also try some other services, so that you know it is "this" one that is giving you a problem.

good exercise for us all...especially considering all the food we ate..... ; )

Depends on the type of error... The XML Stage is "shredding" the document...if the document has a problem (bad tags, invalid xml via the schema, etc.), then the WHOLE document will be rejected. When you say it is one of your 100 rows, what exactly do you mean? Is it one of the 100 "re...

The Cognos bridge uses a direct connection to the cognos metadata repository.......there is no way to bring in xml exports from cognos into Information Server. Separately, where are they exported from? I've seen the export from Framework Manager, but haven't seen one from anywhere else....are these ...

I haven't done anything with certificates and keys in awhile...maybe someone else has and can comment........but I would certainly encourage you (especially considering the other post, which already indicates that this is a complex scenario) to make sure you have a test service available that doesn'...

This can potentially be a very complex process...."if" the wsdl describes nothing but a single large column to be sent to the service, then this is the general methodology.... (xmlinput to wsTransformer or wsClient, passing the xml in a single large column)... ...but if the real scenario i...

...it sounds as though you are able to successfully write the messages to a sequential stage? We will assume that you have one column on the output link, and it has a long length and a single "/" in the Description property?...and that you can write it to a file and it's the perfect xml th...

A formal tool like lstsaur notes is the best way....I like also Oxygen XML and xmlSpy......but you can also google and download "trang"...it's a decent open source command line utility that will create xsd's from straight xml documents.

Nothin' fancy, but it works.

No. You must have formally installed DataStage on the other machine in order for all of the underlying meta-model bits of xmeta to be in place for using/storing the DataStage metadata. You don't have to ever "run" or "compile" the jobs, but there must have been a formal instsall ...

You don't need another app. Do some careful reviews of the metadata that you've imported successfully..... You should have three object types....some new tables in the Implementation Model --- some BI model objects....and some reports. Look at the implementation model tree and also the BI Reports an...

Hmm. As Ray notes, "if" the FastTrack Mapping was used for direct Job generation, then the relationship will be automatic. If a particular FastTrack Mapping was not used as the source for Job Generation, then it is a bit more interesting......the FastTrack mapping in Metadata Workbench in ...

That's still a very small document. Some things to check and consider: a) There's an APT variable APT_DEFAULT_BLOCKSIZE or something like that (I never seem to be able to memorize its name and always have to look it up here or in DS and I don't have DS up and running right now...someone will correct...

I've noticed that "formal" rdbms Stored Procedure objects will get imported into Information Server when you use a modeling tool. Try reverse engineering your rdbms into ERwin or IDA or other modeling tool and then importing that physical model. The "Extended Data Source" type of...
