Hi all,

We are planning to migrate jobs from Informatica 8.6.1 to Datastage 8.6.1. Can you pls provide the best way to achieve this migration and also the steps if you have encountered these kind of migration.

Thanks for your time,

Regards,
Senthil

I'm not sure what kind of information you are looking for. How do you convert any X to Y? You determine what X is doing and you then build the same thing in Y. There's no magic here. Do you have design documents, source to target mappings or just the Informatica mappings to work from? Are you familiar with Informatica?

ps. There is no "8.6.1" version for DataStage.

Track down Metadex from CompactBI (there's a link to a webinar on DSXchange home page). This can read the Informatica maps into the Information Server metadata repository. You should then be able to load those into FastTrack and generate DataStage jobs from them at the click of a button.

We have the technology.
