Seriously? That's what you decide to put up as your 61st post? Confused

If you are at all serious, start by googling for 'DataStage' or by visiting IBM's website dedicated to the product.

You win the top prize in the category "Worst subject line" and are in the rankings for "Question most likely to receive silly responses".

I hope you didn't mean the question the way it sounds. Imagine logging into the Oracle support forum and asking "What is Oracle".

I'll take a stab at answering the question - "DataStage is software".

I'm wondering if there is a new guiding spirit behind the homunculus. Wink

The Golem has most certainly acquired new ownership.

DataStage is an "FTA" - one of many ways for transferring money from your pocket into IBM's.

FTA = Funds Transfer Application

@priyadarshikunal: Your quote (in your signature) is an apt way to classify this post. Laughing

I just Google'd "saraswati" (as opposed to jumping on SaraswatiXchange and asking) and got the following:

"Saraswati is the Goddess of leaming, knowledge, and wisdom. The Sanskrit word sara means "essence" and swa means "self." "

Ah, the irony...
