Jacques Labrie is a senior software engineer at the IBM Silicon Valley Lab in San Jose, CA. Jacques has been a manager, team lead, and developer on multiple IBM warehousing and metadata products since 1984. Currently, Jacques is responsible for prototype development of integration scenarios with the IBM WebSphere family of products.

Summary:  Discover an alternate methodology for accessing application data sources in IBM® WebSphere® Federation Server using the WebSphere DataStage® product as the connection vehicle to SAP. Application data sources can also be accessed by WebSphere Federation Server using the WebSphere Business Integrator adapters. The WebSphere Business Integrator method is not described in this tutorial but can be found in the product documentation, specifically the "WebSphere Federation Server Data Source Configuration Guide - Chapter 8: Configuring access to business application data sources." (See Resources for links to available online documentation.)

Summary

This tutorial showed you how to use the WebSphere Federation Server and WebSphere DataStage products together to provide your developers and users a means of accessing all type of data sources with an SQL interface.

This technique can be used for all types of WebSphere DataStage jobs -- those that require input parameters to run, those that have neither input or output, or those that have both. You can even create WebSphere DataStage jobs that use RTI_Input and RTI_Output stages as the inputs and outputs of a transformer stage and expose this as a Web service. This provides you a means of using the real-time, complex transformation capabilities of WebSphere DataStage in a simple SQL query statement.
