Hi,

Currently I am working on webservices. I have to call a webservice from the data integrator. My designer and jobserver and database everything in my local machine and my local machine is in ABC network. But the webservice which I want to call from DI is outside the ABC network. So ABC network preventing the access to that webservice when I am call that webservice from my designer which is inside ABC network. So I connected to a Guest network and now I am able to call the webservice, but my jobserver is not responding. when I change to guest network, IP address of my machine will be changed. Can anybody solve my problem ?
Why the jobserver is not responding when I change from one network to other network ?

Because your job server and Designer are installed in same system, and when ever you change the network it changes the IP.

I guess below solution may work,

close the Designer before doing this.

Change the Network and take the IP of your system and now open DSConfig.txt from bin folder of the Business objects, change the Job server port in this txt(Search the job server port with your name) there will be an entry with your name.

now start the Designer. you shd see the new job server in options and also you should be able to connect to it.

Thanks…

in the DSConfig.txt file the Jobserver host and port should be changed.

There will be an entry like below in this file with username

Schirumamilla is my username, you will have these entries as many users as you have. give the server host and serverPortid.

[DTBOBJ__schirumamilla]
ServerHost=
ServerPortID=

You want to call a webservice, call is made by the jobserver, hence the jobserver has to be able to access the webservice through the firewall.

There is a firewall between Designer and jobserver, then the firewall has to allow communication between the two.

Hi wdaehn,

Could you please solve the above problem.

My computer is in ABC network. Everything is installed when my computer is under ABC network. Now I logged in to my computer using a guest port. I observed that the job server is not responding. Could you please let me know what needs to be done when I change my network from ABC to GUEST.
