Setting up input options in DataStage

Setting up input options in DataStage®

Input tab options define the contents of the SOAP message for a web service request. Use the Input message section to complete one of these actions:
  • Generate the SOAP message by using information supplied by the WSDL of the web service.
  • Load the namespace, input parameters, and other table definition information for the web service that you specify on the General page of the Stage properties page. This information is used to create the SOAP message for a web service request.
  • Use the SOAP message that a previous stage generates.

Generating the SOAP message from the WSDL of the Web Service

  1. Open the Input message section of the Input tab.
  2. Click Load message information to load namespace information and input parameters for the web service operation that is listed as a stage property. You can then update the prefix or value of the namespace.

Using the SOAP message from a previous stage

To use a SOAP message that was generated by a previous stage:

  1. Click the Input message tab.
  2. Select the User-defined message checkbox.
  3. In the Choose the column receiving the user message list, select the column that contains the SOAP message that a previous stage supplies to the Web Service stage.
    Note: If you configure the Web Service stage to handle user-defined messages or headers, you must define the column that contains the message as VarBinary, especially if the message is not UTF-8 encoded.
