Migration from Unix to Windows

Hello,

Currently we are migrating our Datastage jobs, routines, etc from Unix to Windows. I was wondering if someone has experience with such a migration, and knows what problems (if any) can be expected?

Changing all ExecSH to ExecDOS will be fun. If you're truly Parallel, then MKS toolkit will be available for you to use as it's part of the install. You won't have to rewrite/change much any scripts you're using.

You'll have fun of course changing your Sequential stages to write DOS files, but you don't have to make those changes. It's just that any new jobs will default to DOS type, so that will trip you up.

File path changes will be a pain.
