And be careful to realise that it's not a "dsx" file per se. "dsx" files are produced by DataStage export utilities.
Information Server Manager (istool) produces a compatible file IF the file only contains DataStage components, but the utility can create deployment packages containing components from other products too.

It is safer to use conventional export and import utilities than to try using Information Server manager tools.
With 8.X, it is much easier as Designer client can also do this functionality. The DSX file is a textfile.
Most of the parameter values could be replaced by simple Ctrl-H using a text editor. Simple and efficient way of migrating the jobs.
