difference between 7.5 and 7.5.2

Hi All,

what is the difference between 7.5 and 8.0 in server jobs?

Welcome Aboard
What version do you have? If you have 7.5.2, go into the readme folder which has a file called "contents". Open that file, click on the link "Whats New". You will see the enhancements there.

Lots of fixes... enhancements too, from what I recall. As noted, it will be in the README.

(I'm trying really hard not to just say ".2" but it's obviously not quite working)

O yea, what was its official name, was it 7.5.1A

[chulett]

No, there was a '7.5' first before any of the 'dot' releases.

I know that but talking about 7.5.2, there is an unofficial name and then the official name. Was it version 7.5.2? I cant seem to recall. Was it .2 that was to be called .1A

:D You're overthinking it. Somewhere on the IBM site will be the full release history, but from what I recall the 7.x releases went:

7.0
7.0.1
7.1
7.5
7.5.1
7.5.1A
7.5.2

Something like that, anywho. Unofficial names are things like 'Twister', 'Viper', 'Sorcerer'... I think Vincent has them all in his blog on the history of DataStage.

Yea, I was overthinking them. For some reason I thought 7.5.2 was the same as 7.5.1A. Nevermind. Me need coffee
