BG doesn't not support inheritance. It is not an ontology....however, you can do very creative things with the relationships that are available...such as Synonyms, Related Terms, and Assigned Assets. BG supports URLs, so you can point to any url where you have a Word document or .ppt or something at...

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

I always use FastTrack...I find it best because it can remove everything from the Host on down..... ...but in 8.1.2 you can use Workbench (list the objects from the main page using the listing options on the right), or you can use the new option for repository mgmt in the Info Server Web Console. .....

No...but I've seen scenarios where a Business Term is associated with a particular table (sometimes in a category that is established for such types of Terms) and then that Term has custom attributes. ...another way would be to have an Extension Mapping with custom attributes and map that Extension ...

Sounds like you might just be doing an alternate assignment of metadata....consider using ColumnImport.....

I think of server as a special surgical tool -- critical for certain solutions. Often they are better for small volume transactional things, and are easier to work with when dealing with randomly variable length text.

Too much to describe. There is a whole document dedicated to the Information Services Director. The Information Services Director is what publishes jobs as Web Services --- one of the options for such jobs is to have them be "always on"......and that's when they have a WISDInput Stage. The...

WISD Jobs with ISD input and ISD output are by nature "always on"......they are "waiting" for input. You could set the minimum to zero and then the first request will trigger it and start it...and tthen it will remain "always on" until the timeout algorithm kicks in. A ...

When inside of DS...double click on the table def....a dialog box opens up that lets you look at different tabs, such as "columns"....one of those tabs is the "locator" tab.... Open it and look at the pull down......set it to "sequential" before you do the "Create ...

Depends on the context. For instance, Web Services Pack can call a Web Service and employ SSL for confidentiality for the whole HTTP packet.....

What and where do you need it?

What are the errors?....could be lots of things, from data to environment to................. what do you see in the log when it aborts, etc. more details....

The stage supports passing of HTTPS based credentials. See if they have a way of mapping those to a Windows userid.

That feature in the plugin should do it, unless it is an issue with EE. Try a test Server Job and see what happens (for the test, just use the folder stage and read your new shiny xml document from disk, using the "Built-In" Folder table definition on your output link, and then go to an in...

There are a lot of concepts and objects going on in this thread :) Data Lineage is the "details" (includes DS Jobs, Extension Mappings, etc.) Business lineage is the "summary" (derived from DS Jobs Extension Mappings, etc.). Both are identical in how they are determined --- Busin...

Ok.... this is certainly a scenario of best practice that is way larger than DataStage alone, and I'm sure we'll have lots of opinions here. At the same time, it is very broad, and not related to something like SOA. Best probably to recognize that there are hundreds (thousands?) of different approac...
