Data Stage Manager

Module Objectives

 Understand DataStage Manager components and

functionality
 Manually create metadata
 Import metadata from a sequential file
 Load metadata into a passive stage
DataStage Manager

Jobs

Branches:
 Data Elements
 Jobs
 Routines
 Shared Containers
 Stage Types
 Table Definitions
 Transforms
Where the Metadata Comes From

 Metadata is imported
 File definitions
 Table definitions
 DataStage components
 Metadata is created
 Jobs are created in Designer
 Data elements, routines, table definitions, transforms
can be created in Manager
Exporting DataStage Components

Objects to export
Importing DataStage Components

List objects in file

Import objects in file

Table Definitions

 Specify the format of data files and tables

 Reusable
 Use table definitions for:
 Sequential files
 ODBC data source tables
 UniVerse tables
 Hashed files
 “Loosely coupled” with the data it defines
 Can be used for any data with the same format
(relational, sequential, hashed)
