FTP stage

[us1aslam1us]

Is there any kind of Overhead or Advantages in FTPing file through datastage rather than FTPing manually or through other processes?

Just want to have some information regarding this.

Thanks

The only advantage I could think of would be that you could ftp the file into whatever format you needed for your process, ie, dataset/fileset without having to drop a sequential file on your platform. It could save space on your platform. This also means you can presort your file during your ftp process in DataStage, which could possibly speed up processing time.
