Interesting observation. While an Ascential product I was going to local user group meetings (Well they were DataStage user meetings that tried to attract TX developers too.) I never learned DataStage but seeing the demos and watching what various DataStage customers were doing it appeared to be more complex but similar. Probably what you're more used to.

Yea probably you are right. Datastage EE is basically more of a dataware housing tool, and WTX is more about real time. So you cant move zillions of rows per second by WTX. EE looks still simple because there you dont have so many designers and wat not. Only one designer and a director. ere so many parts make like a bit difficult.

The main difference is that they are completely different products.
Ill-advised marketing lumped them together under the same name.
DataStage server edition began life as DataStage, a UniVerse-based application, vendors VMark, Ardent, Informix, Ascential, IBM.
DataStage enterprise edition began life as Orchestrate, a parallel-execution environment, vendor Torrent Systems, acquired by Ascential.
WebSphere Transformation Extender (formerly DataStage TX) began life as Mercator, vendor Mercator (?), acquired by Ascential.

QualityStage also looks like DataStage. A zebra also looks like a horse. They are not the same.

WTX is entirely different than Websphere Datastage. WTX is going to use complex data transformation. Datastage is ETL.
In WTX you can develop the map in Map Designer and Deployment in Integration flow designer. There is no repository. It is not a client server based tool. It is a standalone. There are so many features in WTX. Can I know what features you are specifically looking for?

Thanks Vinakota. Sorry for the late response.
I am not so aware in DataStage.
So, please let me know all the features available in WTX against PX / ServerJobs.
Thanks in advance
