Migrating jobs to run in InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface, Version 10

You use a migration utility to update jobs to work in IBM® InfoSphere® QualityStage® Address Verification Interface, Version 10. Jobs must be updated to be compatible with the file format of the current reference data.

Before you begin

Install the current version of IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface. You do not need to uninstall the previous version before you install the current version. Keep the previous version installed until you ensure that the jobs were migrated successfully.

About this task

The migration utility processes only jobs and shared containers that contain the previous version of the Address Verification stage. If other types of stages use previous versions of the reference data, you must manually update the stages to use the current reference data. Types of stages that might use reference data are build operation stages, Java stages, or XML stages.

Procedure

Export the jobs that contain the previous version of the Address Verification stage. When you export the jobs, ensure that the Include dependent items check box is selected. You can export multiple jobs in one .dsx file.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where the utility is located. By default, the migration utility is installed on the client tier in the following folder: C:\IBM\InformationServer\ASBNode\bin.
From the folder where the utility is located, run the migration utility.
For example, enter the following command: .\qsavimigrate.bat -inputDSX C:\My_Test\PreviousJob.dsx -outputDSX C:\My_Test\CurrentJob.dsx -DBPath C:\AVI\v10DBPath

An output .dsx file is created.
Import the .dsx file that was produced by the migration utility into the InfoSphere DataStage® and QualityStage Designer client.
