Multi Client Manager for switching clients DS 7.5 & 8 ?
1. Are there any Multi Client Manager exist to switch the client between DS parallel 7.5.2 to 8 (Hawk version)?
[quote="seanc217"]The answer is yes. And I have used it to switch between 7.5x2 and version 8.[/quote]
Thanks for the reply. Are there any issues or constraints with the usage of Multi Client Manager with packages like 7.5 version control client etc.
If I use datastage parallel 8.0 , I will be using only for new development and the entire existing application will be running in current 7.5 server edition and I also will be using 7.5 Version control also. Are these clients compatible in windows OS ?.
I heard that with datastage Version 8.0, there is no datastage Version control package support . Atleast DS 8.0 client is compatible for 7.5 datastage version control client ?.
Any way I will ask IBM, but I dont have complete confidence in their reply , unless some body tried it out and says OK. Please suggest.
background :
I had a very bad experience with Multi Client Manager older version.
I used to have hell lot of problems with Multi Client Manager switching between Datastage server editions 5.2 and 7.5. Datastage said I can use use multi client manager to switch between 7.5 and 5.2 , but when I started using that it is not compatible with Datastage Version Control , which we use heavily for production cotrol.

It doesn't switch Version Control. If you are planning on using a new version of VC then you need to install it while 'switched' to the new client and only use it under the same circumstances - new client only, new projects only. If you want to stick with your older version of VC, don't install the new one and only use it when switched to the old version on your old projects.
In other words, one or the other can be supported - but not both.
Since there's no such thing (never mind the fact that the repository is completely replatformed) under 8.x, don't expect to use Version Control on anything other than your 'old' projects while switched back to your 'old' client.

There is no Version Control for version 8.0.
Some time in the future (8.2 has been postulated) there will be an interface to a source code control system - probably ClearCase initially since IBM own that.

Now I think I understand better . so Clients are not switchable .chulett wrote:It doesn't switch Version Control.

I am aware that VC is not supported in 8.X. I only used Version control word to quote a example for incompatibilities saying VC and Multi Client MAnager is not compatible.
Does the hash files DS_JOBS , DS_JOBOBJECTS which are in project directory is supported and loaded in DS 8.X , as is done in 7.5 ( both server and PX editions ) ?.chulett wrote: Since there's no such thing (never mind the fact that the repository is completely replatformed) under 8.x, don't expect to use Version Control on anything other than your 'old' projects while switched back to your 'old' client.

Not in hashed files any more. What is your underlaying repository database.pxr87 wrote: Does the hash files DS_JOBS , DS_JOBOBJECTS which are in project directory is supported and loaded in DS 8.X , as is done in 7.5 ( both server and PX editions ) ?.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
I think repository is in UV , as we Currently we are using 7.5 server and we have some custom application which uses these hash files for some information. we are in the process of converting a piece of application to PX and we are debating whether to use PX 7.5 or PX 8 ?. So I am cross checking the impact to our custom application if we use PX 8.0.DSguru2B wrote:Not in hashed files any more.
