Windows vs UNIX

If you are using only the standard out of the box Datastage (no custom routines or anything like that) is there any issue writing jobs on one platform, exporting them, then using them on the other platform??

Thanks.

You can routines that will work on both. Most of the routines in EtlStats work on both. The jobs do too. Paths are the main issue within jobs. Switching / to \.

For Server jobs, the answer is no - they are highly portable, 'executables' and all. I doubt that is the case with PX jobs containing a Transformer stage, they would need to be recompiled.

May be some issues with generating flat files and choosing record terminators or slash direction but at a high level they are very portable.

I agree with Craig. Even if you need to recompile then that is not a big problem. You can automate that.

Kim is going through an avuncular phase.

Pratap (chotu) nicknamed me that. Seems appropriate. Thats my favorite role in life. I am very close to my sister's kids (now 21 and 24).

Wonder when someone would notice. Beats guru any day.
