Is there any big change between V5 and V6?
I mean, a datastage developper that have been using the V5
can hope to use the V6 quickly?

Thank for your answers.

From a development perspective, DataStage v6 is not much different from v5 [:)]. Version 6 has some new features that have been mentioned in this forum but the foundation is the same. This is in regards to DataStage Server side jobs and even DataStage/390.

As a general consideration, coding parallel type jobs using Parallel Extender is indeed different. P/E requires different design/coding concepts. If you are thinking of moving from your standard server side jobs to Parallel jobs then there are definately differences.

I agree. Primary differences are in the 'Look & Feel' of the interface and there are no fundamental changes that I am aware of, so getting up to speed should not be an issue.

Parallel Extender, on the other hand, is the horse of a different color.

There is a specific class, available from Ascential, on the Parallel Extender. Check out their web site, follow the links to Education (under Services).
