Kurs informasjon: How to Install IBM DataStage on UNIX - Web Based Training

Note: This is a self-paced online course in which the Guided Tour Product Simulation requires no installations: Everything is through your IE 5.0+ browser. Please DO NOT make travel arrangements for this course. After you receive confirmation that you are registered, just follow the instructions to access the course.

This browser-based product simulation let's you "learn-by-doing" in and will put you in charge of the installation process and require that you interact with UNIX, DataStage, and DB2 environments within the tutorial's 'Guided Tour Product Simulation' environment - no installations needed just a browser and a passion to learn.

By the end of this training you'll have a better understanding of how to navigate DataStage, its terminology, and a better understanding of how it can be implemented.

This course will put you in charge of the installation process and require that you interact with UNIX, DataStage, and DB2 environments within the tutorial's 'guided tour simulation' environment. You will learn by doing and benefit from expert instruction as you go.

We will begin by opening up a UNIX terminal's command window, logging on, and mounting the Installation CD. Then you'll perform some required steps such as creating a UNIX user, creating a UNIX group, and checking available memory resources on the machine where DataStage will be installed.

Then you'll install DataStage server and Enterprise Editions by locating and running an Installation script. We'll discuss the various options, interfaces, and recommended particulars of the server's installation.

Next, you'll test the installation of the DataStage server. You'll then move over to a Windows box, install the DataStage clients, and test the connection between the clients and the server. Then, as the database administrator, you'll grant some privileges for DataStage to be able to access the database. Next, you'll log on as the DataStage Administrator and create a DataStage Project, configure DataStage Environmental variables, and test the connection between the database and the DataStage server.

Finally, you'll log into DataStage with the Designer client and import some table definitions from the database to test successful extraction and loading facilities.

By the end of this training you'll have an understanding of the installation process of both DataStage server and DataStage clients. We will walk through the steps needed to install DataStage on a single machine in an SMP environment. This same knowledge is a mandatory step in MPP, Cluster, and Grid installations.

You'll test the success of your installation, test for successful connectivity between the server and it's clients. You'll go on to connect DataStage to a database and come to understand some of the principles involved. By the end of this online training, you should be able to do the following:

• Locate and execute the Installation script to install DataStage's server and then understand and select appropriate installation options, and test for a successful installation
• Log on as DataStage Administrator, install DataStage clients on Windows, and test for connectivity to the server
• Log on as the Database Administrator and, within the database, grant privileges for DataStage to be able to access the database
• Log on as the DataStage Administrator and configure DataStage to interface with and connect to the database
• Log onto DataStage and import table definitions from the database to test for a successful ability to extract from or load to that database
