Some questions about DataStage set
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2000 4:41 pm
Hello All
I apologize in advance for my curve English?
I have read some .pdf-s from Ardent (data-movement.pdf & meta-data.pdf). And there are some questions about their content. Lets read some quotations:
data-movement.pdf
-----------------
p.3
"Repository Manager
Graphical browser used to view, edit and create meta data stored in the Repository.
Repository
Stores technical and business meta data describing source and target data, transformations, data elements, built-in stages, business rules. "
meta-data.pdf
-------------
p.2
"
Meta Data Management services consists of three components, the:
- Directory - the storage schema that represents the essential semantic units for a shared environment;
- Explorer - the primary client interface allowing users to navigate and analyze meta data stored in the Directory;
- MetaBrokers - exchange utilities containing knowledge of the tool s data model, which can decompose and recompose that model into simple semantic units for movement in and out of the Directory. "
What are differences between meta data tools from base DataStage Suite and Meta Data Management? I guess that they talking about the same product. Or they mean that Repository and Repository Manager together are Meta Data Management. Whats the meaning of word "additional" in a price-book in a section "DataStage -Optional Components"? Can I buy Quality Manager additionaly to my DataStage 4.x or I must buy DataStage XE to be able using it? Can I use Business Objects MetaBroker with only my DataStage Server or I must to buy MetaStage Directory to be able using it?
Best regards,
