confusion and request for help setup Windows UNIX datastage
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 8:32 pm
Hello,
I HAVE THE FOLLOWING SETUP:
DataStage Enterprise Edition 7.5x2 installed running on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 (both client and server components)
single processor machine
----
I'm only writing to text files right now to learn the Enterprise Edition.
I will install some databases, starting with Oracle or SQL Server, not sure yet.
I WANT TO SETUP THE FOLLOWING:
I have another machine with a dual-core processor.
I want to setup DataStage on that other machine in order to use the parallel configuration capabilities.
I want to install UNIX on that other machine in order to run the jobs on UNIX.
So, I'm in the process of installing CentOS-3.9 which is the redistributable of Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 3 (formerly known as Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 3 as in the datastage documentation)
I had some problems with the installation of CentOS-3.9 not detecting my monitor because of drivers so it was recommended to me to install CentOS-5 in order to not have a hardware driver problem.
(This would be the same as Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 5)
So well, I would like to know if anyone has run datastage on CentOS-5 or Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 5?
I'm a little confused as to how I will be able to or how I can work with Datastage, setting up between Windows and UNIX between 2 machines.
In the documentation and as I have tested, you can run parallel jobs on Windows Server 2003..this is fine.
Will I be able to kick off parallel jobs from the Windows Server 2003 over my network connection where the jobs are actually located on my UNIX machine?
If so, will the jobs appear in Datastage Director even though they actually reside on the UNIX machine?
I was reading in the Datastage documenation that you can install Datastage on a UNIX machine and use the Datastage client components on Windows XP or 2000.
So, would this also be possible from the Windows Server 2003 "client?"
Something else that made me wonder- in one of the videos in the DSXCHANGE LEARNING CENTER called "WINDOWS: Start dssh" by Ken Bland he connects to a Telnet Session on Windows Server 2003.
Is he connecting to a UNIX machine where the Datastage server components are installed or is he using a UNIX server on Windows??
If it would be possible to use a UNIX server environment that's already on Windows that would be amazing.
Well as you might notice, I'm sort of confused and need to figure this out before I can figure out how to setup database connectivity between these two environments.
