Hi,
Can any one of you please share some conceptual documents on Data Stage Architecture?
Like
1. What is the difference in 7.x and 8.x?
2. What is the complete Web Sphere Installation suite?
3. What are the basis steps to be considered while installing the Data Stage?

1. Radically different. In version 8 DataStage is an optionally installed component of IBM Information Server.

2. What's your IT budget? (Ask IBM or search their website - the suite grows nearly every month.) WebSphere is IBM's marketing term that encompasses everything that could be called "middleware".

3. These are fully documented in the Upgrade and Install Guide, a manual that ships with every DataStage client.

You can search for DataStage 8 on this forum for some good threads, you can read my blog entry What is new for DataStage 8 on the Information Server and visit the Moving to DataStage 8 on Squidoo page that has some links to IBM, blogs and this forum.
