Reading data rules from XML or external source into IA

All,

I am new to IA and have a scenario that requires me to input hundreds of data rules into IA so that we can read it from DataStage jobs. The GL system, whose combo-edits and other validation rules we are trying to implement, can send those rules in the form of an XML file.

Questions:
1. Can anyone suggest a way to import those rules into IA?
2. Can this process be automated to accommodate any changes to the combo-edits daily/weekly etc.?

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, you can use the command line for this. See: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecen ... mands.html

And then the following for the xml fragment you will need:

Or you can use the REST api: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecen ... comps.html

I hope this helps!
