Pros and Cons of DS Windows vs Unix
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 7:19 am
I have thoroughly searched this forum and other internet sites such as ittoolbox but couldn't find a whole lot on the specifics. Here are a few points I found:
1)Windows OS requires far more server reboots than Unix
2)Unix allows much larger file size handling
3)If source data is in Unix, DS on Unix is obviously better
4)Windows takes more RAM to run
5)Admin commands such as ds* commands run on Unix. On Windows, they use MKS Toolkit to run.
Can anybody add more? I am looking for Datastage specific issues rather than OS specific issues.
