Still......it's a Citrix configuration issue then.... not an issue for BGA itself. Is the concern the need to install and maintain many BGA's? If so, then Citrix is a great idea.

Hard to say...could be many different things. Some things to try: a) Server Job and not EE. Server is more flexible in large datatype areas....you are in the Server forum, so I will assume that you already are using a Server job, but just wanted to check... b) Package up the array before you send it...

agree with Arnd...xml is, by nature, character. There are binary things that happen with xml and web services, such as web services "SOAP with Attachments", and there are ways to carry binary data within xml (simple ways like using an extended hex notation is common).......but each are mor...

Are you planning on having each of those users install BGA on their machines locally? (ie...without Citrix in the mix for those users)? Ultimately they just need to see the WAS at the center...... ...and alternative which might be far more attractive from a distribution perspective, though requiring...

Not sure I understand the problem (you mention two WStransformers), but one suggestion I have is to create a test version of you job that captures only the soap body at the output side of your WSTransformer. Edit the job and delete the immediate downstream stage from the Transformer....keep the link...

How big is the answer set? There are defintely limits to the size, although I can attest to bringing back responses that are in the 10M range. On major key here though, is looking at the whole infrastructure......your Web Service is a lot more than just RTI.......there are a WHOLE lot of places wher...

I don't think istool supports ISD services yet..... Can we assume that you are talking about 8.x ISD services? (as opposed to RTI in 7.x)?

There may be more to this than what we can see here, as we don't have lots of detail about your source, but here are a few things to try: a) for your simple example above (create a test with only those two columns) make Col2 your "key" and choose Aggregate option in the xml output stage. b...

Well...as I said earlier...these are things I would "try".....what I was hoping is that you might get lucky and be able to entirely fake out the stage.... The "XML" data element is used when you want to embed some xml content (the xml you have from upstream) in a larger document....

Data Lineage for other ETL tools....

Hi all... Recently I have had the pleasure of working with a couple of consulting firms who have been very creative with Metadata Workbench and the "Extension" features (Extension Mappings and Extended Data Sources) that were introduced last year in release 8.1.1. These companies have deep...

hmm. Hard to say... EE may have more ways to do this, but the only stage that I know that can write to independent files is xmlOutput Stage. I haven't tried something as basic as this, but here is what I would try: Sending the documents down a duplicate link to an xmlOutput Stage that has NO output ...
