I see you refer to some document that helped you resolve the issue you mentioned. I’m having the same problem, at least the same error message. It would be great if you could send me that document you used to solve the issue.

Thanks in advance

will come back to you in case of any other questions or help…

Thanks again !

Can you help me with some documentation on Security in DS 8.0 for WebServices, at what levels we can implement and types of authentication. I really need this.
My Email: sensual_sturdy@yahoo.com

I tried handling the null part in my DS job and it worked fine for me, will get back to you if i get any more doubts on it.

Thanks a lot !

The features for built in security are in the 8.1 release, which became available about six months ago. In 8.0 you can do any kind of security also, but have to do it at the WAS layer. I can dig up a document for you on this that I worked on with our engineering team.

As for nulls, are you sending up the entire input message as null, or just one of the column values? If so, what binding are you using? Watch the DS Job in the DS Director. Does the instance stay running, or does the job abort. The error below is fairly generic…it’s hard to say if the job is not liking the nulls, or if the nulls aren’t even getting to the DS Job. And just a thought — why are you passing nulls? If the properties aren’t filled at all, why make the invokation?

- for security as you explained, is there any documentation as i have all the documentation for 8.0.1 (but was not able to find how to implement that when calling Web Services outside datastage; like if i am calling web service publised on ISD thorugh eclipse for testing). Any way i can define while creating WISD to authenticate who is calling it.

- for Null: when i call the service thorugh ecilpse to test and in service (i call a job to do lookup where input is not null) and if i pass no value and invoke service it gives me following error:
exception: javax.ejb.EJBException: nested exception is: javax.transaction.TransactionRolledbackException: CORBA TRANSACTION_ROLLEDBACK 0×0 No; nested exception is: org.omg.CORBA.TRANSACTION_ROLLEDBACK: “javax.transaction.TransactionRolledbackException: ; nested exception is: javax.ejb.EJBException: nested exception is: com.ascential.asb.agent.HandlerException: Job samtestproj.jp_Wisd_get_Info.1236904303669.PipeReceiver Aborted. vmcid: 0×0 minor code: 0 completed: No”

- for logging purpose, i will do my homework of finding more on it and then get back to you if i have any doubts.

Thanks a lot, hoping to get some more thoughts from you on my doubts.

ISD uses the normal WebSphere stack for deployment of its services. Tivoli provides integrated tools to do monitoring of such services.

I have list of question on WISD’s published thorugh DataStage WebSphere Information Server, please help me if you can:

- can we authenticate the calls made to this wisd, by any way (any kind of security) ?
- Null handling, if i don’t pass input parameter/message to WISD which do the lookup and get the data, it gives error; is there any way to get rid of that error ?
- Is there any way of logging the calls made to this sevice (for maintainence purposes) ?

Hope, you can help me these doubts, thanks in advcance.
