Questions on istool build / deploy options

[srireddypunuru]

Hi Team

I Have some following questions.

1) I am using Datastage 8.1 and iam not seeing BUILD/DEPLOY options in the Information Server Manager GUI. The only thing is see is EXPORT just not sure what is happening ?

2) When i export iam getting that file as .isx not .dsx so is this considered as Package ?

3) Does that means i built a Package ?

3) Can i directly take this .isx file and use istool import and import the code or there any steps involved ?

Just an FYI i will use ISTOOLS gui just to export or Build Package and will use command line to Import (istools import) to import the code to QA Hope this works.

Thanks
