Building an InfoSphere DataStage API Application
Create an application that uses the InfoSphere® DataStage® API by writing the program, compiling the code, and linking the application.
Everything you need to create an application that uses the InfoSphere DataStage API is in a subdirectory called dsdk (DataStage Development Kit) in the IBM\InformationServer\Server installation directory on the engine tier host machine.
- Write the program, including the dsapi.h header file in all source modules that uses the InfoSphere DataStage API.
- Compile the code. Ensure that the WIN32 token is defined. (This happens automatically in the Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler environment.)
- Link the application, including vmdsapi.lib, in the list of libraries to be included.
