Hi All, one of my clients is upgrading from 7.5.2 to version 8.0 on the Windows Platform thinking it will be more stable. I'm thinking they should be switching to a Linux platform for a more stable environment rather than upgrading DataStage.
Has anyone upgraded to DS version 8 on Windows from 7.5.2? Was it more stable?
Thanks in advance.

We are running two versions on the Windows platform, 8.0.1 and 8.1. When we went from 7.5.2 to 8.0, it was a horrible transition. Once we moved to 8.0.1, all of our conversion issues went away. My recommendation is to go to version 8.1. It's the latest and we have seen improvement in functionality and performance. All this being in mind that we upgrade our Windows environment to 32G ram on a Quad core system. This attributes to the performance improvement.
If your able to go to Linux, even better as I have heard it is more stable than Windows but then the price for the product is more.
Windows====> go version 8.1
Linux, from what I heard reliable.
