A basic Question.

Starting from the 1st to latest what are the different versions of DataStage.

Ascential DataStage (v ?) -> WebSphere 8.0 -> InfoSphere 8.1

Can anyone elaborate/correct ?

Gracias.

VMark Software brought out version 1.0.

They went through a merger with Unidata to form Ardent Software. Versions 3.0 through 5.2.

Ardent was in turn acquired by Informix Corporation.

Informix sold all its database products to IBM in 1999/2000 and renamed itself Ascential Software. Versions 6.0 through 7.5.

Ascential Software was acquired by IBM in 2005. IBM initially included DataStage 7.5 (and associated products) under the WebSphere brand. This continued for version 8.0, the first on the Information Server platform.

IBM moved all these products to the new InfoSphere brand with effect from version 8.1.

To find out more, search the internet - it's all out there. One plan would be to look for product release announcements.

That was very descriptive Ray.

Also, to the OP, may I suggest looking for this in ITToolBox.com where Vincent McBurney had a post regarding all the releases for DataStage (server as well as PX/EE).

I was talking to someone and I am not exactly sure if I am right:

1st came IBM InfoSphere 8.0
2nd IBM WebSphere 8.1

Correct ?
