Adding the ISD Input stage

You configure the ISD Input stage while building a job in IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® and QualityStage® Designer.

   Note: You cannot use job parameters for buffer size and timeout for the ISD Input stage or the ISD Output stage. Enter fixed values for these job properties when you create a service in IBM InfoSphere Information Services Director.IBM InfoSphere Information Server and the InfoSphere Information Services Director agent must access these values before you start the job.
6. Type a value for Buffer Size.
7. Type a value for Timeout. The default value of 30 seconds is adequate for most environments.
8. Click the Outputs tab.
9. Click the Columns tab.
10. Type the column names or click Load to automatically add the input column names.
    Note: If you plan to use the Text over JMS service binding, use only one input column. You must be using the Network Deployment edition of WebSphere® Application Server to use the Text over JMS service binding.
