Migration from 7.5 to 9.1
Posted: Thu Jun 05, 2014 12:34 pm
Hi All,
We are planning to Migrate from Windows V7.5 to Windows V9.1 and would appreciate any help with this process and estimation
Landscape:
5 Projects
1000+ jobs
200+ Routines
100+ Batch jobs for Control Flow (No Sequence Stages used)
10+ Universe Basic Program called from Datastage
Jobs mainly use these stages:
FTP, Transformer, Aggregator, Seq File, Unidata stages
Src/Tgt
SQL Server, SAP (via ODBC), Unidata, Files, Hash Files
My questions are:
1. Will we be able to port these Routines directly to the new version or these need to be re-written?
2. Will we be able to port the Universe Basic programs to the new version or these need to be re-written?
3. is Unidata Stage still supported in V9.1?
4. Is Batch job based control mechanism supported in V9.1 or we will have to redesign using Sequence jobs and stages?
5. Migrating jobs to new version - unless we have stages that are not supported in V9.1, is this relatively as straight forward as Export and Import of the projects and then Recompiling the jobs?
6. v9.1 is supported in a Virtual Environment
7. Any rough guideline on the time we are looking at this Migration project
(excluding Testing which I understand will be a major factor)
Thanks,
VN
