Did you try exporting the DS components using the DS Manager into a .dsx file and then import the .dsx file back into version 7.5?
I not sure whether version 3.0 has the DS Manager. May be our very experienced gurus who have been with DS for long would be able to shed some light.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Export from 3.0, import to 7.5. Then start making tons of changes to fix: link ordering, hashed file caching, row buffering, function argument modification, etc.

Hi Sunshine
Migrating from Version 5 onwards to its next version is what recommened. But version prior to that as said by kcbland will take lots of effort. I guess there should be someone who had done this in the past and hope had the checklist of things to be done while migrating.

That sounds like a lot of work. Check if its easier to build jobs in 7.5 rather than migrating from 3.0 to 7.5.

Theoretically all DataStage versions (to 7.5.1 at least) are backwards-compatible to version 1.0. Therefore I would make sure of a good backup of the 3.0 projects and of a good export of each 3.0 projects, and try a direct upgrade. If it fails, the backups will allow resumption of normal service (uninstall 7.5 and install 3.0) until a better method - probably via some intermediate version - can be figured out.

Re: migrating server jobs from 3.0 to 7.5
Hi,
I had the same issue migrating from 3.6 to 7.1. The suggestion from Ascential was migrating first from 3.x to 5.x then migrates from 5.x to 7.x.
I did exactly like that and it works perfect with only few changes made in 5.x
hope it can help

Re: migrating server jobs from 5.2 to 7.5
hi,
What are the problems you encountered in converting jobs from 5.2 to 7.5. I had experience only with parallel jobs in V7.5? Appreciate your help.
