HI, Where can get a copy of the latest version of Datastage for an evaluation - a Windows version?

Thanks.

Welcome aboard.

Find an IBM InfoSphere reseller in your part of the world (IBM can tell you who these are) and convince them that there is a 50% or better likelihood of a sale after your evaluation.

IBM does not provide free downloadable copies of this software.

Or get yourself an Amazon elastic web services account and start using DataStage for about US$21 an hour.

It's very cool. I had the pleasure of doing some beta testing with it.....it works great....took a little getting used to at first (mostly conceptually as you set up the instances and IP addresses thru their gui's)-- you become your own "administrator" and configure and start stuff, and then have Windows images for your client....but it's a great way to test things on a much bigger box when needed, and/or do evals too.....
