Hi
I am planning an upgrade from DS 5.1 to 7.5 in a Solaris Environment. I wanted to hear if somebody out there had done a similar upgrade and if there were any issues/pitfalls with doing such an upgrade (that is not covered in the upgrade guidlines from Ascential)
Best Regards

DataStage Upgrade from 5.1 to 7.5
Moderators: chulett, rschirm, roy
In general, upgrades are extremely painless affairs. Unfortunately, from what I recall, the times I've seen people reporting issues here seem to have been when people running on Solaris.
Hopefully, someone on your same O/S who's done a recent upgrade will chime in.

Hi,
I am familiar with an experience of moving from 5.2 to 7.1 with an attempt to go to 7.5 over the last few months. We Upgraded (real DS Upgrade, not a fresh install) from 5.2 to 7.1 and there were a few minor differences like Teradata defaults but that was generally successful. With Parallel Extender we tried go to 7.5. I wasn't that close to it but there was something that was serious enough with the Oracle 9 interface and Parallel extender that we backed down to Parallel Extender with Oracle 9 on DS 7.1. So if you're using Parallel Extender and Oracle 9 I would ask Ascential Support about the Oracle 9 interface on 7.5 Enterprise Edition. O.S. was HPUX 11.11 on Unix Datastage server.
