We are planning the process to convert from DataStage on Windows to DataStage on Linux.

Is there an easy way to do this without having to reload all table definitions and recreate the database stages?

All you will need is export and import.

Only places to see is any paths specific to old system and commands.

Beware of any job or routine that invokes a BAT file - you will need to convert these to shell scripts.

you'll also need to consider if you have any jobs using SQL Server stage, it won't work under Linux, these can be changed to ODBC via the .dsx
