This IBM InfoSphere Datastage Enterprise Edition (EE) installation guide is based on a
Datastage 7.5.1 EE setup on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Datastage 8.x installation on
Windows 2003 server
5. Install Datastage server - the server software is installed by executing the install.sh
program. It is quite straightforward and in most cases following the screen instructions
will lead to a successfull Datastage EE installation.
6. Configure the Datastage EE configuration file - the file pointed by
$APT_CONFIG_FILE datastage environment variable which defines the parallel system
resources and architecture.
Sample configurations shown in the next tutorial lesson.
7. Install Datastage clients (Administrator, Manager, Director and Designer) on the client
windows machines.
8. Verify the installation by checking whether a dsrcpd unix background process is running
(ps aux |grep dsrcpd).
