Datastage App using API

Post by swades »

Hello,
Is it possible to develop App (in iOS or Android) using DataStage API ? I know it might be questionable whether its worth or not from ROI perspective. but may be with limited functionality like, checking job status, start and stop job. basic admin tasks etc.

Thanks

Should be.

There was a browser-based Director client available in the mid 7.x releases, but they dropped this idea for no given reason.

Isn't the new operations console browser based? It would look good on an iPad but may be hard to read on a phone. I think it's a good idea to build one.

You can also use RTI's Job Control Web Service which exposes the DataStage API to build your application. I have a JSF application using this Web Service to display job's status, rerun job, etc. from any mobile device. However, this Job Control Web Service is no longer available from V8.x and forward. But I found that all required .jar files for this service are still there in V8.x, so I am still trying to tweak to make it work in V8.x environment.

I seem to recall our Kim Duke built a tool for web-based monitoring, wonder if he's kept it up to date? Ah, check here for DSWebMon. Tested up through version 7 it would seem...

Great idea. I did hear about using Director from a "PDA" way back before smart phones. I think capability existed but may have been in beta and never released (?).

8.7 does have the web-based DataStage Operations Console. I have not tried accessing it from my Android yet. Not sure it's possible given VPNs but will have to explore it. It is read-only, so while it gives great info, it does not allow one to run/stop/reset jobs.

...thanks for the memories, lstsaur! Indeed, RTI in production offered a WSDL that basically wrapped the classic Job Control API.

Accessing the new Ops Console remotely from my BB is one I haven't tried........don't know what kinds of browser requirements it has. I'll have to put that one on the list of things to experiment with. Good idea.
