Dear All,
Would like to put forward this question:
We are to prepare a datastage development environment for implementation and testing of a datawarehouse module. What are the consideration to be addressed in preparing one?
I would like to get feedback from everyone in this forum.
Thanks in advance.

Your question really boils down to installing everything you need (it's easiest to install all plug-in stage types), making sure there's plenty of resources (CPU, memory and disk space, and more disk space), and having a robust metadata management strategy in place before you start. This last includes all the standards that you might like to implement.
If you can set up separate development and test environments, you will have the luxury of being able to "load test"; that is, to conduct tests using production-level volumes of data. You would probably never need to do so in a development environment.

Dear Ray,
I guess my sentence was misleading. Sorry about that. I wanted to get feedback from any of the members of this forum who might have setup something similar in a major scale of sort.
Dear DSguruDB,
Previously i have created similar environment but for small scale developments within the same DW, but this one will be for a major development. There are multiple modules and this is one of them. So i just want to consider views from others in the forum so that i wont miss any crucial consideration.
Appreciate everyone's input.
Thanks in advance.
