Migrating to a new InfoSphere DataStage server

About this task

To successfully install a new IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® server, you must do the following:

Procedure

  1. Install InfoSphere DataStage.
  2. Import the jobs that contain the old version of the Pack.
  3. Restore the SourceSystems.config file from the previous installation. It usually resides in the DSBWConnections directory. Restore it to <DSSAPHOME>/DSBWConnections.
  4. Restore all Source System directory paths. Determine these from the Source System Properties page of your old version of the stage editor.

    Alternatively, you can directly view the SourceSystems.config file. The Source System directory paths for each Source System are determined from the INFOSOURCEDATAPATH parameter.

    You must recreate each path exactly or the new installation cannot locate the necessary files.

  5. Install the IBM InfoSphere DataStage Pack for SAP BW server.
