That would come with the 8.1 software - what used to be called the the 'Installation and Upgrade Guide' is now the Planning, Installation, and Configuration Guide.

Sure , we have a lot of information regarding installation and configuration , but i think i should have mentioned in my earlier post , that I am looking more on migrating jobs export/import the dsx , related documentation and things that are different in datastage 8 , common compilation errors etc and possible solutions

There are no "common compilation errors" and the basic job import/export process hasn't changed. Any kind of "what's new" information will be in the documentation. You may want to search ITToolbox (or whatever it is called nowadays) for Vincent McBurney's blog postings on the subject, I seem to recall he had a number of them on the subject of migrating to the 8.x release.

Ah... here he is.
