Hello,
My company is finally upgrading from DS 4.2.1 to DS 7.5.1 Server Edition (Yes, we grunts really wanted Enterprise but so be it). With this new install we would like to have DEV/QA on one server and PROD on another server.
Is this possible with the Server Edition ? or
Can you only separate projects to different servers in Enterprise Edition ?
If you can separate them do all of the underlying install directories have to have the same paths on both servers ?
Thanks !

You can use as many servers as you like, but will need to buy a separate licence for each unless you own an special "enterprise" licence (not the same as Enterprise edition, but one that allows up to 999 CPUs over one or more machines). Contact your vendors; they will be more than happy to hear from you!

Ah, I'm sure they will $$$.ray.wurlod wrote:You can use as many servers as you like, but will need to buy a separate licence for each unless you own an special "enterprise" licence (not the same as Enterprise edition, but one that allows up to 999 CPUs over one or more machines).

Do the underlying directories for DEV/QA and PROD have to have the same exact paths for Import/Export between the two servers ?
Thanks Ray
No. Project name and location are irrelevant. When you generate a .dsx file the only thing that carries over is the Folder/Category name. You'll be fine.

We run Dev/SIT/QA/Prod on their own servers. In QA and Prod we create the projects as Protected so that jobs cannot be modified and compiled.Are there any issues as far as permissions that I need to keep in mind ?
No special permissions (Unix) other than what is recommended for normal installations.
For DataStage permissions we give a change control group "Production Manager" access. All imports are done by that group. I am not sure you want to go to that level of control. It does have it's advantages and disadvantages.
We are running server and parallel jobs.

For development, it's good to use umask of 002, because you have so many developers. However, in the QA and Prod environments, you may consider only running under a select userid, therefore, consider using umask of 077 to tightly restrict access.
