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.
