Connecting Datastage to Classic Fed server

Hi,
I have a requirement where Mainframes is source , Target DB is oracle. Data is extracted from Mainframes using SAS script and variable length sequential file is generated .These files are passed to Classic Fed server and Datastage needs to invoke classic Fed server/client to read these files.

My question is whether Datasatge 7.5.2 can connect to Classic Fed server through ODBC or through any other stages?

Please let me know if anybody has worked with Classic fed server connectivity to Datastage 7.5.2

Welcome aboard.

It's certainly possible in version 8.0.1, where there is a separate stage type for Federation Server (though I suspect, from its properties, that it uses an ODBC driver, or at least ODBC protocols, under the covers).

I am not currently in a position to verify or otherwise whether this is available in release 7.5.2.
