You need to get the specific version of DataStage for your operating system release. Your CD only works with the OS you purchased. You need new CDs and licensing information for Unix variants.

Get back to the IBM support. Tell them about the exact OS on which you want to install it on.
They will be more than happy to sell you the correct one!

It's always called DataStage. The individual product codes specify for which particular operating system it is. Your vendor has access to the relevant information. You can determine what's available from the IBM web site, if you're really interested. Beware that there are also version dependencies; particular versions of DataStage are only supported on particular versions of operating systems.

Your vendor may try to get you to buy version 8.0, even though it's not yet out for UNIX platforms. In this case you will have to buy IBM Information Server and an optional component for it called DataStage.
