Evaluating WebsphereDataStage TX

[imsud]

Hi All,

I am new to Datastage TX/ETL etc. My background is Java/J2ee developer in websphere platform. Our company is evaluating WBI/WPG and DataStage TX. I am responsible for evaluating DataStage TX. Where I can find technical documentation on this product? How much is learning curve for an experienced Java/J2ee developer? What kind of programming lang. is used in DSTX? How much time it may take to build development environment?

All documentation and tutorial supplied with the product. DSTX uses its own rules language for data transformation.
3 months to become prficient.

Contact your IBM rep for eval copy of 8.0.1. Most of the rules can be implemented using a pull down function list.

What do you need the product to do?

We are Premium IBM business Partner and we need to enable or capabilities on this product because we are also delaing in products like WPG, WBI, Websphere Process Server etc. So at this time we are not sure about reqquirements because they will be diffrent for each customers. Right now we want to explore most of the features or most widely used features of this product and how this product can be integrated well with other IBM products like Portal or Websphere Process Server.

If you are a partner, you should have a contact within IBM that would get you the information needed. DS TX is not the ETL product, DataStage is. DataStage TX is an EAI product used in realtime.
Easiest way to integrate into other IBM products is to use WebSphere MQ Series to initiate a map and return the data.
