Hello All,
I'm having a request to process some Data from CSV Files and create some charts as a result.
Is it any way to do the creation of such graphics in DataStage ?
Any hint would be great.
Thanks a lot in advance

In a word, NO.
DataStage is an ETL tool, it has no business in the presentation layer.

Right. Load the csv data into database tables and let your BI Team handle the graphics.

Yes I know we are doing ETL and not presentations. But I thought might be able to execute an API or so from a routine passing the data or using excel or so.
Have anybody done that before?
Anyway, thangs you guys for the answers.

I've never tried such a thing but I'm sure you do have some options along those lines, especially when running a Windows server. Perhaps via an Excel ODBC driver? And some clever macro work?
Perhaps someone here has been forced to do such a thing and will wander by.
