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

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
