I would like to upgrade our Websphere Datastage Server Version 7.5 to 8.0.1. I would like to know whethere I can install it on Window 64 bits OS environment or not. Actually I want to install on Win server 2008 standard edition - 64 bit OS.
Do you think it does support??? I cannot find in my CD. The max environment is Win server 2003 and it is 32 bit OS. Do u think DSJ can support higher OS than that they certify because window always has backward compatibility???
OR do you have any idea which Datastage version, which may higher than this 8.0, can support 64-bit OS???
I have just finished one site on AIX 6.1 (64-bit) and am embarking on another. I am not sure about Windows - certainly Windows 2008 is not yet a supported server. Check the IBM web site.

Any contribution to this forum is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect any position that IBM may hold.
Yes. I have been checked on IBM website and I do not see for 64 bit window OS
That's why I asked you again. I also called IBM and still waiting their response. Very slow response:(
Thank you all,
ICE

I would think it would run as a 64bit O/S is perfectly capable of running a 32bit app - are they saying that it won't work at all or just that there's no 64bit version of DataStage for that O/S?

Do you mean DSJ win server 32-bit application also can run on 64-bit???
Here is their repose.
"DataStage8.0 or 8.1 for windows platform, they are only compatible with 32bit environment, not 64bit. However, you can use 8.0 or 8.1 on 64bit Unix, Linux and Solaris environment."
Thank you so much.

All I'm saying is that pretty much any 64bit O/S can still run 32bit applications, although the opposite is not possible. If this wasn't true hardly anyone would be using a 64bit version of Windows, IMHO, being locked into running only true 64bit applications would make it impractical. For Windows click here and then note the two "Can I run" questions a little ways down.
Their reply is a little ambiguous to me, if you still want to pursue this with them I'd specifically ask them to qualify their answer in light of the information noted above. There may be some reason they haven't noted that precludes a 32bit version of DataStage from running properly in 64bit Windows.

It is really a valuable information for me
Thank you so much for your time. If it is possible, please ask for me. I really want to make sure of it.
Thank you again for your help

Ok. I would like to ask myself. I have to check with Microsoft. Right? But here what I am confusing is how the microsoft will certify DSJ can install in their 64-bit OS??? Does their info be reliable???
I am so sorry for my poor knowledge
Thank you for your time,

Sorry, not possible. You'll have to do that yourself.
