NT - Unix portability

Post by viji »

hi,

My production environment in on AIX. If I have the development environment on set-up on NT, will I be able to port the datastage components to production ie from NT to UNIX ?

Thanks

Yes.

The main things to watch out for are pathnames (which should be job parameters anyway), calls to ExecDOS (which must become calls to ExecSH on UNIX), and calls to DSExecute to invoke operating system commands (parameterize the Shell argument, or use System(91) to determine the platform).
