You can look into the "Generate Report" option, available in the Datastage Designer. It does a pretty good job.

DataStage has the generate report function, MetaStage has publish to browser, the new Metadata Server has a browser based reporting tool. You can see more options in the FAQ or my post Navigating your project through the documentation Bermuda Triangle.

It's the icon second from the right in the Designer toolbar, the icon that looks suspiciously like the Internet Explorer icon. Click it and enjoy the results.

Tip: Specify somewhere with a short pathname for the temporary location, for example C:\Temp, whether or not you choose to preserve the intermediate XML file.

and how can I publish this report online ?

Which database? Your source database, your target database, your staging database, your intermediate tables, your lookup tables? Describe what the schema you have in mind should look like.

There is an option to use a 'User defined stylesheet' so the answer to that question seems pretty obvious - depending on what you mean by 'options'. And from what I recall, the default stylesheet is in your Client install directory.
