Calling a web service

We are on adTempus 4.2. ODI (Oracle Data Integrator) has web service interfaces to start/stop/monitor/etc. ODI processes (load plans and scenarios). I know we can write our own programs in PowerShell, Python, Perl, etc. to interact with a web service and run them using adTempus. Is there any capability or examples in adTempus related to calling a web service?

The only capability currently is through the Web Request Task, but that will only let your request a URL. There's no facility for passing custom headers, form values, etc. We are planning to add a more robust web services capability for adTempus 5.

In the meantime, if you want maximum integration with adTempus (getting results back to use in conditional logic, etc.), you could look for examples on the Web for calling ODI from VB.NET or C# and build your script using the adTempus script engine.

Is there any plan to have adTempus provide a web service interface?

That would allow users to write their own programs to interact with adTempus. Perhaps I could, at last, have a command line program that would list the running jobs. It might make it possible for a user to write a script that would read IBM (Tivoli) scheduler job scripts and create them in adTempus. It should allow for the promotion of development jobs to test, SIT, and production.

There is a plan for a web services interface but probably in the first round wouldn't support anything as complex as creating jobs. The existing .NET API will let you do all the things you mentioned.
