DataStage and Oracle Programmer 2000

[harshkohli]

We use DataStage XE 7.x on HP Unix and our database is Oracle 9i. We have another product 'Oracle Programmer 2000' on Unix for which our company pays the annual support. But we are NOT sure which product requires Oracle Programmer 2000. Our development team does not use Oracle Programmer 2000. Now the company is trying to find whether we need to renew the support for this product or not and if we need then which product requires this. Is in any way DataStage need 'Oracle Programmer 2000'? I think it does not but want to make sure.

Thanks
