Hi,
The latest and correct information is available through prometric testing website or the IBM website.

The exam fees for 000-415 is 100 US$ and you need to calculate as per the exchange rate in each country.

All the Best :)

That cost entitles you to ONE attempt. The same cost applies to each additional attempt. Make sure to do your preparation.

If you attend the Information on Demand conference in October you can attempt three exams within the cost of the conference, and more at a discounted rate.

If you are a partner of IBM and have an education Value Pack you can be reimbursed for some of the costs of certification through the "You Pass We Pay" program including training and certification exam costs.

How can an individual become IBM partner? Can you please suggest sites on that and to avail the "education Value Pack"?

Among other things you need to guarantee IBM a certain amount of income per year. It's not a small amount.

You approach IBM and ask to become a PartnerWorld partner, you pay to get an Education Value Pack (I think it's around $3,000), this gives you access to trial editions of a lot of IBM software (but not Information Server) and 30% discount to training and up to $50K towards training that leads to a certification plus some free online training in certain products.

One more clarification, i heard we need to complete DataStage Enterprise Edition version 7x first, before datastage version 8x exam.

Is it true? Please suggest..

No, totally untrue. You can go straight to the version 8 certification.
