Hi All,
I have done my development(DataStage job)and created the .dsx but the datastage is in Window 2003 platform and now i want to deploy all my jobs in Unix platform where Datastage is installed and same DataStage version(7.5)is there which i have.
Can i directly install the dsx into Unix platform by dataSatge Manager by import and export ...or i have to do special treatment for this

.Please help

Regards and Thanks,
Vinita Bhate

Welcome aboard.

You can simply import the DataStage components from your DSX file. The jobs will run, from a DataStage perspective.

However, if you have anything DOS-specific in your designs, such as pathnames and record delimiters in text files, your jobs (or DSX) may need some tweaking for UNIX running. This is not a DataStage issue but, instead, merely a difference between the ways that DOS and UNIX work.
