For different reasons I had to test a URL scenario today...it still works (I was using 8.5.1 with xmlOutput Stage for this particular test). This was for a fixed xml document that was sitting up at a web site, but it's a good sign that it will probably be transparent whether it's a REST service deli...

I haven't had a chance to try it, but it's possible that you can use the xmlOutput Stage or the new xml Stage to pick up the url for your REST service and then process the document that you receive. Maybe someone else on the forum has tested this as a source. Get either Stage working first against a...

That's odd....end of wave should take care of it.....for testing, you might want to try another target Stage type....like DB2 API, to see what happens with commit=1 and also end of wave.

Business Lineage is a "summary" lineage view. It shows objects like tables, files, Extended Data Sources, and BI reports.......

Data Lineage shows all of that, as well as any Extension Mappings or DataStage/QualityStage Jobs that are "in between" the objects above.

Metadata Workbench can represent all of it, though not all with automatic imports.... Business Objects and Embarcadero are supported for import via the Import/Export Manager.....the others can be represented by Extensions...... there are partners such as Accantec and Compact (www.accantec.com and ww...

For Extension Mappings alone, the two will be the same....they are very closely related --- if you also use FastTrack, impact analysis will include those mappings....there are other things that impact analysis extends to, such as ISD projects and services, but they may not apply in your scenario. Er...

ditto....but thanks also for everyone's contributions, and to so many of those not directly mentioned. I learn more just from thinking about the real-world issues that everyone runs into and how to solve them...

...it could be like MQ though...it might simply repeat the SQL statement and get duplicate rows..... check it carefully. ...and look in your Job Parameter env variables for the APT_CONFIG_FILE .....

...that may not necessarily be an issue with 1.1, 1.2 or anything else.... ...it could be with something far simpler, like handling arrays, or a strange datatype.. ...describe the error that you are having. It's certainly possible that it is having a SOAP version issue, but we need to know more...su...

Metadata Workbench collects and can show Operational Metadata...but it is not designed for doing any kind of deep operational reporting --- it is designed for doing data lineage and showing light stats on Jobs and the tables they write to. It will work --- give it a try --- you can certainly collect...

ISD (Information Services Director) is the tooling you use to publish a DataStage Job "as" a Service (where a DataStage Job is the actual code and processing behind a hosted web service). Alternatively, ISD can also publish a SQL Query as a service. It supports an array of options for REST...

It depends on the context. ISD and the Web Services Pack support some things about SOAP 1.2, and not others.... there is no feature for SOAP with Attachments, for example.

REST is fully supported for Services that you publish via ISD.

I would take a look at things like ETLStats (see kim duke's web site and entries here in the forum) and other solutions that pull data via dsjob api or command line. MWB Operational Metadata could work too, but it sound like you have some very creative specifications for things you want to collect a...

For right now, forget the old Job...key is meaningless in the old xmlWriter Stage....it has a far different meaning and impact in the xmlOutput Stage....the functionality and behavior of the two stages, especially for "key" is entirely different...... ...as noted in the thread, this exerci...

...eliminate the header in any of your xmlOutput Stages by checking the Generate XML Chunk box... As for the CDATA, if it's not appearing in some cases, it "sounds" like the <web:request> element might be null. Make sure that the value of that column (where you build the header and has xpa...
