DataStage is just another application that AutoSys (or any other Enterprise scheduler) can control. And by 'control' I mean launch and monitor jobs and control dependancies between scheduled events - DataStage or otherwise.

Most of us have some kind of "start DataStage job" script that wrappers the command line interface dsjob command with some sanity checks, this script is what your enterprise scheduler would... well, schedule.

You would need to write one yourself. And this would be a script, so run at the operating system level in korn or bash or your shell of choice.

Hmmm.... there is at least one posted here, probably way more than most people need but let me see if I can turn it up...
