Can Information Server DataStage v8 be used on Windows 7 (server + client)?
The only thing that I can find on the IBM website is that the minimum requirement for IS Server on Windows is Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2. But that doesn't specify anything about Windows 7.

From which omission you can determine that Windows 7 is not (yet) a supported operating system for DataStage.
Rumour has it that Windows 7 will be supported, at least for clients, in the next version.

IBM could not begin testing until August 2009, based on that timetable.
There is support for Windows 7 in Foundation Tools 8.1.2 (recently released) - doubtless for other products in the suite in the next-released version (first half of this year).
Stay tuned.
