Hi I want to migrate Datastage7.5 version to Datastage 8.1 version.
I have no idea on migration from one version to another.
If any body have the detailed procedure to do a migration , share with me.

Also tell me , wether these two versions are compatible?

All versions ship with an 'Install and Upgrade Guide', the gory details of how everything would be done are there. Mostly it's just a matter of setting up a new 8.x server, exporting all of your 7.x jobs and then importing them into the new server. You really shouldn't have to change anything about your jobs. Of course, testing everything (or a representative sample of 'everything') would still be a good idea.

What do you mean by 'compatible'? All versions of DataStage are 'backwards compatible' if that's what you are asking. And you can run both versions on the same server as well, though it will take some work... and yes, there's a manual that explains that as well.
