Hi DSXians,

We have decided to upgrade DataStage from v7.5.1 to v7.5.3 in our project. During upgrade, we want to run both the versions in parallel for a short period of time, from testing perspective. Needless to say, both the versions would coexist, and on the same Unix server.

My questions is: Can we have the projects with same name in both the versions? (on the same machine)

Thanks!

Sure. They would need to be completely separate installs with different "itags" and you'd also need to install both clients into separate locations, using the Multi-Client Manager to switch back-and-forth between them.

There's a pdf document that explains all that in your Docs directory, it's called something like "multiconf.pdf" from what I remember.

Just double-checked and it's actually called multiserv.pdf in your Docs directory.
