Hi,

I have a Datastage server software that is for HP platform. Is it possbile to install it on Sun Solaris?

Nope.

I called the guy from Ascential who sent me the CD, he said that it works on all Unix platforms, including Sun.

Well then, let us know how it goes.

Unless they are starting to distribute multi-platform releases, something for the "HP platform" - which I assume means HPUX - won't have the binaries you'd need for Sun. Be glad to be proven wrong...

Think chulett is right, I just got the discs last week and they are specifically solaris. The discs are for version 6 btw. I'd get on the phone to them and give em hell.

You may indeed find that binaries for all UNIXes are on the one CD, and that the actual operating system is embedded in the auth code so that the installer knows which binaries to copy. It's been a while since I looked at one!
This would make everyone correct! (Even though not useful.)
