Does Datastage 7.x is uspported on Linux 64-bit Server? I tried checking the system requirements on the IBM site for this, but couldn't find it.

No it is not; neither is 8.1. From what we heard, 8.1 will be supported in March this year.

How about DS 8.0.1? Will that be supported on Linux when 8.1 is?
Does anyone know what flavors of Linux are supported and recommended? Where is a good resource for researching this?
Thanks!
Brad.

Not sure about 8.0.1; the only thing IBM confirmed was that "it's still a 32bit implementation, operated on 64bit platform".
We had to call support to get this information.

That brings up another good question - when is IBM going to help DataStage join the 64-bit world? Most, if not all, of the databases it talks to (including its own repository in v8) are 64-bit. There's untapped power there for the taking!
