DataStage 7.5.2 on Red Hat 5

Post by ufl_developer »

We're currently running DataStage 7.5.2 on RedHat AS 4 and wish to move to version 5 because Red Hat AS 4 goes out of support at the end of the month. That being said, we have determined from IBM that they have not certified and will not certify this version of DataStage on RHEL 5.

Has anybody made the conversion from Red hat 4 to Red Hat 5 with this version of DataStage? If so, what path did you take? Did you simply copy your DataStage filesystem over to the new machine? Did you upgrade in place? I'd like to know as we are faced with making a decision on whether to stay on Red Hat 4 (without OS support) or upgrade (and lose DataStage support through the vendor). Thanks!

Tim
