Has anyone tried to use the Common Connector migration tool, CCMigration.exe.

When I try to loging by specifying the domain , user, password and project name it receive the error

Failed to connect to the project: Node for DataStage server with name [servername] is not found in the repository.

My ETL and Services layers on differnt boxes. I wonder if the migration tool assumes that they are both on the same server. I have opened a PMR but wondering if anyone has has similar issues.

Have not (yet) used CCMigration.exe so can not advise.

Not wanting to derail the thread but what exactly is this tool?

DataStage 8.1 provides a new DB connectivity stage, Common Connector.
It supports Oracle, Terra Data and DB2 (maybe a few more). It's supposed to be alot easier to configure than the enterprise stages, and I assume you don't need to pay for the additional Datastage licenses if you are running an MPP environment. It also has a number of properties not in the enterprise stages.

Anyways, it comes with a migration tool to replace all the enterprise stages in your jobs with the Common Connector Stage. I have over 200 stages to replace so this would be a huge timesaver.

The tool is located on the PC in the clients directory.

Sounds like a connector version of the DRS stage.

Did you get a resolution to this yet?
I have a PMR open too.

I will update if I get any answers.

Thanks.
