We need the exact steps that you performed to be able to help, including the old and new version numbers plus the actual error message you are receiving.

One thing - if all you did was export your jobs as a backup / precaution and then 'upgraded your server' with all of the old jobs still in place - you are done. You don't need to import anything back in.

However, that being said, you should still be able to perform the import if you really wanted to - so it sounds like something is wrong.

When you start DataStage Manager, do NOT check the Omit button. You must provide a user id and password.

I hope this is it.

That's the kind of message you would get if you tried to migrate the 'wrong way', i.e. from 7.5 to 6.

Please re-read my first post and provide more information so we can help you.

Did you upgrade your Client?

I have had to clean up the registry on my client before installing DS 7.5. After uninstalling, use REGEDIT to delete any "Ascential Software" folders under HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then reinstall the 7.5 clients.

I am not sure if this is it, but it is the cleanest way to upgrade your clients.
