Seems to me the only help can come from either IBM directly or indirectly through your official support provider. Someone in your organization should be able to get that ball rolling for you. Ray is correct - the migration utility itself is deployed as part of a migration package from infosphere la...

IBM is supposed to have one. ... Yes several tools exist to do this migration. IBM has one and also several partners have built them - I've actually seen two new ones appear in the last few months which both turned up at the Berlin user conference. Please reach out to your local IBM account team on...

I'd be very grateful if anyone who's built a dashboard to display operational information from DataStage / QualityStage could spare some time to drop me an email. I'd after the following details: 1) What information /reports did you include 2) What tool / application did you use to display this info...

Hi All, Recently Arnd poped an interesting question, How did our community learn to use this product? Please take a minute to answer this poll :) Regards, Lol while I'm not quite as old a timer as Ernie, Arnd, Ray and others I was the second ardent employee hired in the uk and attended one of the f...

Hey Aakash Aside from Ray's first suggestion of a dsx if you want to back up the various layers at the file level please contact IBM support - As you correctly noted there is information stored in each of the tiers (repository, ISF, Engine even the clients if your users have customized their palette...

It seems like quite a few people need processing in PX to allow the stripping of header and trailer records for an incoming dataset. Wouldn't it be nice if the Sequential file import had separate header and trailer flags that would tell the engine to strip an existing header/trailer and output them...

We need to be able to put DataStage in a restricted mode when we perform upgrades and/or import/exports. This will lock all users out except for the "admin" user. Please contact me directly to give me more detail on this requirement. I am especially interested in the workflow around this....

It will be useful if we have the feature of search/replace facility in the Designer. Things like replacing same transformation for multiple fields will be of great useful. Also replacing column names .... Will make developers lazy..... :lol: Thanks Rasi Part of this capability was added in DS 7.5 Y...

We are presenting two DataStage Tips & Tricks sessions at Ascential World later this month - one for DataStage Designers and another for DataStage Operators. In the Performance Tuning component of the Designer Session we are going to share a summary of what we've learnt on customers sites (small...
