Is that possible to invoke a javascript function in success of datatable ajax call. Here is the code am trying to use,

var oTable = $(\'#app-config\').dataTa

Maybe it's not exactly what you want to do, but using the ajax complete solved my problem of hiding a spinner when the ajax call returned.

So it would look something like this

var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
    "ajax": {
            "type" : "GET",
            "url" : "ajax.php",
            "dataSrc": "",
            "success": function () {
                alert("Done!");
            }       
    },
    "columns": [
            { "data": "name" },
            { "data": "position" },
            { "data": "office" },
            { "data": "extn" },
            { "data": "start_date" },
            { "data": "salary" }            
        ]
    } );
