The rest of the answer is "whatever you feel comfortable to maintain". The actual GUI is rather irrelevant. Did you plan to leverage DataStage in the background (using the real-time components), or to update the table(s) directly?

Thanks for the reply. However, the client does not want to use the 'after job' option. Just had something similar with the new flight security rules. After taking the ink from my fountain pen (because it's liquid, all 1.5ml of it) they wanted me to fill out some forms. What's wrong with this pictur...

If that's all the transformation you need to do, prefer a Modify stage (it's far more light weight). Use the substring function in that stage.

Your assertion that you have to re-install DataStage is probably based upon an erroneous premise. Perhaps what you do need to do is to install the DataStage components properly. If you have done so, you can shut down and re-start the server as frequently as you wish. You just need to ensure that the...
