DataDirect - DS7.5

Post by akrzy »

Could someone tell me, can I use DataDirect drivers from DataSTage 7.5 CD to my version of DataStage 6.0.3?

It would not be a problem from DataStage's point of view - it's just a client.

You may need to change some entries in .odbc.ini, and the driver versions may or may not be compatible with your database version (particularly for Informix), but neither of these are actually DataStage problems.

It may be that the internal licensing has changed between version 6.x and 7.5; if so, you would discover that fairly quickly. I have no reason to believe that it has, however. :)
