Datastage Version Control

ORACLE_1 · Post by **ORACLE_1** » Thu Jul 01, 2010 2:31 pm

Version Control - I am trying to understand how the version control tool works , how much effort does it take to set this up , and does it yield enough to even take a shot at it.

I know this question is some what vague but any help will be appreciated.

Thanks !!

Setting up is very straightforward, and is managed by the installation script. Essentially you have a separate project (by default called VERSION) in which are stored version-stamped copies of the objects from your actual DataStage projects. The Version Control tool provides an interface through which the next version can be created, and migrated into other projects (such as test or production environments).

It also ships with a pdf document that walks you through everything you should need to know about it. The online help mirrors that pdf pretty closely.

I will go through the Documents... quick follow up question , can this be setup after the project is created (in short for existing environment)?
