DataStage and Disk Resource

Post by sangi1981 »

Hi,
I write for advice.
I have to make an estimate of resources (in terms of disk space needed) required for a DataStage server (parallel jobs).
In my project we will have about 10 GB of input data, divided in several files.
How much space for DataSet? How much space for the scratch area?
There is a standard methodology to estimate the disk space?
Thank you very much

Welcome aboard.

DataStage includes a Resource Estimation tool that can assess resource requirements for individual jobs. Start with that, and add the results for any jobs that you intend to run simultaneously.

It's on the DataStage Designer toolbar. Open it then click Help to learn how it works. Or read about it in the Parallel Job Advanced Developer's Guide
