The answer is QS Server, because ultimately you need the server to process the data. However, it's common practice to configure both, so that you can inspect the data (outside of QS) before/during processing.

You need the UNIX-based ODBC driver for your database; this is probably the one that shipped with DataStage. Configure DSNs by editing a file called .odbc.ini (this is probably in the Engine directory for DataStage). If you're going to use that ODBC driver with DataStage too, you also need to configure a file called uvodbc.config in the DataStage project directory.
Search the forum and/or consult the vendor's documentation for how to perform each of these tasks.
