Hello All,
We are in DataStage 8.5 now. As per the 8.5 Information Center, it's saying the Command Stage is able to be found in Processing category in Palette. But we didn't find this stage there.
Here is the link about Command stage in 8.5 IC:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocente ... Stage.html
It says the Unix command is supported.
Please feel free to tell me how that stage is able to be located in 8.5 server job if you experienced the same as us before.
Thank you
Command Stage in Server Job

I mean it's been available for the command in Unix in DS 8.5 as per the Information Centre.
You can execute any command, including its arguments, that you can type to the shell of the operating system, such as Windows or UNIX. Examples include Perl scripts, DOS batch files, UNIX scripts, and other command-line executable programs that you can call if they are not interactive.
If true then that's a change that no-one here has mentioned yet. I've only ever worked on UNIX servers so never seen the Command stage in my entire up-to-8.1 DataStage life. The fact that it can run 'UNIX scripts' could be simply because of the MKS Toolkit that is installed with the product.
Ask your official support provider and let us know what you find out.

I am running 8.5 on AIX. There is no Command stage. A search revealed only four objects with Command in their name:
Execute Command activity (for sequences).
A folder in the repository Data Elements branch.
Two data elements COMMAND.OUTPUT and COMMAND.RTNCODE.
No Command stage.

I've been told the IC will be updated as the Command stage is still not available on Unix yet. And meanwhile, the Command stage might be developed to support Unix environment in future.
