Can anyone tell me how to get an evaluation version of DataStage 8.x (website address). My company has a partner license of IBM, but I am not sure where can I download this.

In the following link I could see the zip files but its disabled.

You should be able to login to PartnerWorld and get it via that channel. If not discuss with your manager - this is part of what being a partner is about. I'm not, so can not really give any more advice.

Ray is correct. You can get it through the partnership program. You will need to purchase either the Software Option or Value Pack.

I was with a company for five years who was an alliance partner with IBM and I could never download the damn software - I could get access to PartnerWorld no problem but couldn't access Passport Advantage where a lot of the Enterprise downloads are stored. Ask around at your company to see if you have Passport Advantage otherwise contact your local IBM sales team and meet up with them to get the software. Some smaller content such as fix packs can be gained directly from IBM support pages but most of the big software needs Passport Advantage.

Especially for evaluation version of any software, you should go to Trial Software Download site instead of Passpaort Advantage main page.
