To begin with there are many kinds of error that can be handled by DataStage (including the ones that occur between the keyboard and the chair), and there are many ways that they can be handled. A comprehensive reply would be a very long email indeed, and I doubt that anyone would be prepared to put...

www.AscentialSoftware.com is a great place to start for getting information about DataStage. In addition, m is another place to go to get in contact with professionals who cover the entire gambit of data warehousing, not just ETL. There are published how-tos and inside peeks into using the full prod...

Mir, As per my knowledge, most of these evaluations do not come for free (I would love to be wrong on this one). I know that if you attend TDWI conference, you can get such ETL evaluation copy during one of the courses offered by them. Another place of search would be www.gartner.com. You may find s...

Could someone please help me out here, by pointing me to a web link where i can get more recent information on datastages functional & programming capabilities.

Thanks Pavan and Ray, Could you please point me to a more recent web link that would give me a better picture of functionality available.

Thank you for your quick reply. I see where they make this unsubstantiated claim. I believe that they do not have sufficient knowledge about what DataStage can do. I note, also, that not all ETL tools were included in the paper. Regards, Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: Mir Ali Date: Wed, 26 M...

I have a large book from our ETL evaluation and we only seriously looked at 2 products. -----Original Message----- From: pavan.marpaka@ascentialsoftware.com [mailto:pavan.marpaka@ascentialsoftware.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 3:07 PM To: datastage-users@oliver.com Subject: RE: Performing calcu...

Mir, I had a look at the evaluation. I think I can safely say without fear of contradiction that their identified disadvantages of DataStage are rubbish. For your benefit and to ease your concerns, Ill address their specific points: Looping construct: DataStage has many looping constructs. Jobs inhe...

Mir, I believe that the ETL comparison is very much incomplete. It also has misstated information about DataStage as well as the other tools/vendors. The data warehousing institute just published an ETL tool evaluation matrix. It is located out on: m DataStage is an excellent tool. If you are set on...

Looking at the website and the evaluation of what they call "market leading ETL products", i really have to question how old this evaluation is and the depth of the evaluation. Clearly it does not address the issues of parallel processing, enterprise application connectivity, metadata management sol...

Can you advise where you read this? It is wrong. DataStage has two looping constructs; a counted (for..next) loop, and an uncounted loop. And all the branching constructs you would expect in a mature programming language. Performance may be an issue, if you want to iterate 10 million times for every...
