Hello and welcome to DSXChange.

Generally an upgrade of DataStage will not have significant issues and problems; but with Version 8 the product has become somewhat more complex and the Information Server has been added.

Version 8 ships with PDF documents describing the upgrade process.

Take a backup first. Export your projects. Do it twice!

Axiom: things only go wrong when you don't have a backup.
