I am in the process of setting up a new Datastage environment , all on the Linux platform. I will have a Dev, QA and two production servers. Since we will be installing Enterprise Edition, we wanted to take advantage of installing and running multiple instances of Datastage on the Linux platform. Maybe one engine for each Business Unit, something like that, instead of just running one engine.
I cannot seem to find any documentation or best practices in any of the doc I have - does anyone have a good source on how to best configure for this senario -- is it possible? IBM stated it is possible -

It is possible, but not because it's Enterprise Edition. You can install multiple versions of Server Edition also.
But why do you think there's a need to? And - I suspect - IBM will want to get licensing revenue from each of them.
The magic word here is "-itag". You install different engines with a different "itag", which primarily allocates different shared memory keys. The default itag is "ade".
You can read about this technique in the Installation and Upgrade manual. There may even be some posts here.

Sorry for the late response - was out most of this week.
I got the info from IBM in regards to how to setup multiple engines on a Linux box - it is pretty easy. We had a need to run multiple engines due to some projects with RED data , and also isolating different development groups - seems to be working rather well.
If anyone needs info on setting up multiple instances, I have some doc.
