General DataStage Server Question

Post by poorna_76 »

If my DataStage Server is on Unix Box,

is there a way DataStage can communicate with SQLServer Database.


Is it necessary to have the DataStage Server on Windows(only),
if we are loading data into SQLServer database?

Thanks in Advance.

Sure, DS ships with an ODBC driver to SQL-Server 7. You just configure the odbc.ini file with the entries to point to each SQL-Server. It will require things like IP or hostname, db name, port, etc.

No problems doing what you want, as long as you have the right version and configuration information.
