Unfortunately, in todays release, the gui is the only way to stop an ISD job.....by "disabling" it......

Excellent....now here are a few other interesting things for you to review.... a) check the DS Director....you should be able to "see" your instance there when it is running and "always on".... (you can't do much with it, and should never try to start/stop it there, but you can s...

Yep. I only read the first sentence of your post On vacation today and in too much of a hurry to get back to the water.... ; )

Exactly.... As soon as you finish the "deployment" in the Info Server Console, your job wil be started...it will be running and "waiting" for your incoming SOAP request.......when the request arrives it wlll be processed immediately.

See the other thread.....go to the Actional web site (might also be at Progress' web site and various others where you can download shareware) and get their testing tool, or SOAPui...

You need to review and study the documentation. Pay particular attention to the sections on "Job Topology". Jobs with WISDInput will be "always on".....Jobs without WISDInput will be run only when invoked...there are pros and cons to both methods ---- you need to know about your ...

I like Actional's SOAP testing tool...another good one is SOAPui........XMLSpy has a soap testing tool also, I think. .....Vordel has another one called SOAPBox...

Be sure you are familiar with WSDL and how to find it and and test with tools that can invoke SOAP based web services.

If you are getting escape character values on your "previously" created xml content, use the XML "Data Element" value for that particular column...this will prevent it from being automatically "escaped"......

Yes and Yes. You may need to find it and install it separately from the original media.

Search thru the forum here...find Kim Duke's web site and get the xml best practices document....spend time with it......study it..., especially with the parts on using xml Output to create a multi-path document. You will likely need the technique that builds independent xml nodes and then combines ...

...but you do have to configure your Cognos environment to point to the workbench for lineage.....it's in the system settings, and is also very well documented in the Cognos doc set. Search thru the doc for Information Server or Metadata Server or possibly Glossary, to find the settings.

Are you publishing a service? Writing out xml? Or both? What are your SOA clients expecting? If they are expecting a "clean" SOAP payload then do nothing....WISD output stage plus ISD will do all the "undercover" xml work to deliver SOAP.......however, if your service clients wan...

Can you "see" the DataStage server, the project, and its folders? If so, and you are certain you enabled the job for services, then simply make sure it is compiled. It won't appear unless compiled and enabled.

In the property inside of BG you just put your url "as is".... like http://www.ibm.com . You can also make it a "pretty" entry by using square brackets and pipe characters such as: [http://www.ibm.com|main ibm web site] Now the "main ibm web site" becomes an underlined ...

The Extension Mappings came along in release 8.1.1, about a year ago, and are in the regular documentation.....we can discuss them further here, and I also have a few entries on them in my blog (link below). The documentation is also easily accessible on the web at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/info...
