The job developer only chooses a method of data partitioning and the Datastage EE engine will execute the partitioned and parallelized processes.ĭifferences between Datastage Enterprise Edition and Server Editionġ. The concept is hidden from a Datastage programmer. The key concept of ETL Pipeline processing is to start the Transformation and Loading tasks while the Extraction phase is still running.ĭatastage Enterprise Edition automatically combines pipelining, partitioning and parallel processing. Pipelining means that each part of an ETL process (Extract, Transform, Load) is executed simultaneously, not sequentially. This means for instance that once the data is evenly distributed, a 4 CPU server will process the data four times faster than a single CPU machine. The main outcome of using a partitioning mechanism is getting a linear scalability. Each partition of data is processed by the same operation and transformed in the same way. Partitioning means breaking a dataset into smaller sets and distributing them evenly across the partitions (nodes). Datastage EE is able to execute jobs on multiple CPUs (nodes) in parallel and is fully scalable, which means that a properly designed job can run across resources within a single machine or take advantage of parallel platforms like a cluster, GRID, or MPP architecture (massively parallel processing).
The EE architecture is process-based (rather than thread processing), platform independent and uses the processing node concept. Key Datastage Enterprise Edition conceptsĭatastage jobs are highly scalable due to the implementation of parallel processing.
Infosphere Datastage EE tutorial - Datastage and Qualitystage tutorial based on Information Server 8.1 and Datastage 7.5 EE New Datastage 8 tutorial available on ETL-Tools.Info!
With the recent versions of Datastage (7.5, 8, 8.1), IBM does not release any updates to Datastage Server Edition (however it is still available in Datastage 8) and they seem to put the biggest effort in developing and enriching the Enterprise Edition of the InfoSphere product line. Introduction to Datastage Enterprise Edition (EE)ĭatastage Enterprise Edition, formerly known as Datastage PX (parallel extender) has become recently a part of IBM InfoSphere Information Server and its official name is IBM InfoSphere DataStage.
