I am looking at creating a Windows Basic Installation of DataStage 8.7 in my company's training enviroment.

Can DataStage 8.7 be installed as a separate package or must it be installed as part of the Information Server Install?

Is there an existing instance of Information Server whose services tier could be used to manage the new Engine? If so, then you can get away with just installing the Engine tier (and any needed clients, of course). Otherwise you will need all four tiers of Information Server on the training machine.

There aren't any existing instances of Information Server, this is a new install.

Then you must install Information Server. DataStage is not a stand-alone product (since version 7.5).
