Hi,

I would like to set up my DataStage werver on Windows to make it work with Oracle using OCI stages.

In UNIX you have to edit the odbc.ini, uvconfig.ini and the dsenv files, but in the windows version these files are not present.

Can anybody help me??
I guess If i have installed the ORacle client in the same box as the DataStage server, and I can connect to the DB with SQL plus DS won't work with OCI stages stright away, isn't it??

Thanks so much in advance

In UNIX all you need to edit is the dsenv file. The others - .odbc.ini and uvodbc.config - are for (as their name implies) ODBC and not OCI. Other mechanisms control this on Windows.

:? Have you installed the Oracle client on the same box as the DataStage server? Can you connect to a database with sql*plus? If so, have you tried connecting via DataStage?

On a Windows platform, and provided that the Oracle environment variables have been set for the user who executes the DataStage job, installing the Oracle client software on the DataStage server machine should be all you need to do.
