Accessing Remote Files
Posted: Mon Nov 02, 2009 3:51 pm
Hi,
We are running DataStage v7.5.2 on an AIX v5.3 platform. The development staff has a new requirement to read remote files (I do not know the details). In doing some research it looks like I can either
1) Use NFS to map a remote file system and have DataStage access the file as if were local.
2) FTP the data/file to the loca DataStage filesystem.
Is there another possibility? They were looking at possibly defining the configuation file to include a remote directory, but I don't see where that will work.
