What do you mean by "virtualisation" or "virtual concept"?

Does any other version of DataStage support it? If so, please give details, and we'll indicate whether 7.5x2 has the same functionality.

I have no idea whatsoever what "virtual concept" means in a DataStage (or even ETL) context.

A Google search did not enlighten me.

Though this quote was amusing:

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Reality is just a virtual concept.

Are you asking if it is supported under something like VMWare?

You've put up two posts without actually telling us what you mean by "virtual concept". But, I guess you might be asking if Datastage works on a virtual machine (as Craig guessed). You can run Datastage on VMware, I do that all the time (mine is a test machine).

You shouldn't expect any difference between any version of Datastage installed on an actual machine or a Virtual machine(as long as you have enough CPU and Memory resources)
