ps. It has a cool little "ocean wave" icon on the stage too.... ; )

Indeed. You are looking for the Wave Generator, which engineering has wonderfully made available for us (it's a patch that is generally available now). It gives you the opportunity to force an end of wave by virtue of a number of rows and/or by a boolean value. The boolean value is the most powerful...

....it doesn't sound like you have installed the patch for Business Glossary 8.1.1 ..... that patch is a pre-requisite, as it contains the new capabilities for the REST API, along with some other goodies, such as support for cookies so that you no longer need to log into the BG every time you use BG...

It's not a choice anymore. The former work horse of DataStage Server from 7.x and earlier is now the "engine", and all the connectivity and authentication functionality is handled by WAS. Together, "all of it" is IIS. The two (and all the other parts) work together.... your DS cl...

....and btw...did you change the host value in the "deployed" version of the .html file? You need to change it in C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\default\installedApps\localhostNode01Cell\bgTermFinderWidget_war.ear\bgTermFinderWidget.war (replace your values where needed).

Yes....it's pretty cool. An interesting example of what you can do with the new REST API. Keep in mind that it relies exclusivley on features that are in 8.1.1 of the Business Glossary, namely the new REST API. You'll know if you have that installed successfully if you get a response from: http://lo...

Is it consistent? meaning...always 2? If you have 3 links to your funnel do you get 3? etc? The additional record is clearly causing something. At this point I'd probably validate it for consistency and then zap it manually.

Ernie

hard to tell because something like that is likely to be dependent on the actual data you are streaming thru as well as your logic. The elements are empty....look for rows with blank values for those columns...see if you might have two rows where you thought you had one.....or see if you have this c...

oops. missed your wisd question. do some searches. There ought to be a lot of entries on it in here...look also at the RTI/Information Services Director forum....

The first question would be...why are you asking? Most of these things are intenal bits that are historical or part of the architecture and have very little meaning anymore. Years ago parts of the architecture were based on Universe, but the code paths were separated several years before the IBM acq...

...are you running 8.1.1 yet? I would strongly recommend that you get 8.1.1 for Metadata Workbench to go on top of your 8.1. There are some key new capabilities, namely a vastly enhanced graphical lineage and also the ability to represent external processes. FTP scripts, other shells, COBOL programs...

Ok... I will do some checking. In the meantime, I dug up my old .dsx and ran some tests. I have to look at it more, as I was surprised to see the Job Abort (I thought I had set all the options to reject), but it did indeed capture an unknown element, in that particular subset test. This was in Serve...

xml input only? No...they either mis-interpreted the question, or it is still broken, or both. I did a very lengthy set of tests of validation back in release 7 when XMLpack2 came out, and submitted a set of issues in 8.0 when it had been broken. I know that some of it has been fixed, but I haven't ...

...wanted to point interested folks to a new example just published on developerWorks by my IBM colleages in engineering. It illustrates how to build a custom "widget" for your portals and web applications that takes advantage of the REST API that comes with Business Glossary (with the rel...

That's a good point. BI reports today are in, I believe, only alphabetical order, and not sorted in a hierarchy by their Package. The Packages appear also in 8.1.1 within their own "trees", but they contain the queryItems and subjects and not the reports themselves. I haven't had a chance ...
