Hi Experts,

We are using datastage 8.5 version with internal registry configuration. That means suite users reside in XMETA.

I would like to know what is the maximum limit of number of users that can be created by using webconsole.

Is there any configuration file present on the datastage server that stores this information.

Kindly share your thoughts.

Thank you.

I'm not aware of any limit.

There is no technical limit, but there is a licence limit and the number of DataStage users should be noted somewhere within your licence agreement.

There are, however, a number of user-roles that may not count in terms of number of used licenses. For example there may be users who need access to certain reports, but never log into any client tools except the web-console. The installation will not check the number of available licenses, but IBM regularly carries out licensing audits with clients.

Be aware also that, for some roles, you have a "named user limit"; you must be able to show during audit that actual names of the users licensed in those roles, such as Business Glossary Administrator.
