Why is it a problem?. Make sure you install a Oracle client on your 2003 server else you have to use ODBC to connect to Oracle database.

Welcome aboard. :D

As noted, yes that is perfectly feasible. You can connect to any Oracle instance you have 'visibility' to from the DataStage server via your tnsnames setup.

Do you really have DataStage version 8.0 on Windows-NT, sachin1 ?

Can you please explain how you installed the same? I find that I am unable even to install version 7.5 on Windows-NT.
