I want to what is java source stage and can this be used to read excel files having multiple sheets. Each sheet can have different columns.

Is this stage available with DS7.5 or only in higher versions.

Thanks,

Shashank

It's available in 7.5 (JavaPack)....but has to be obtained and installed separately. Not sure about the Excel bits --- but if the xml challenge can be done in java, then you could use it to help with DataStage.... all JavaPack does is give control to your class to do as it pleases, and then (optionally) return data to a link......
