1. Install DataStage on the UNIX server.
2. Configure all database access on the UNIX server.
3. Make requisite changes to dsenv and .odbc.ini on the UNIX server.
4. Create all required projects on the UNIX server (via DataStage Administrator).
5. Export project from Windows.
6. Import project on UNIX.
7. Check that all Windows pathnames are converted to replacement UNIX pathnames.
8. Compile all jobs. Fix errors.
9. Validate all jobs. This will create hashed files.
