Hi,

I am just curious to know which is latest version of Datastage.

The latest I worked on is Datastage 8.0.1 ( IBM Information server 8.0.1).
There is some talk about Datastage 8.1 and even 8.2 in this forum. I searched on IBM website but could not gather any information. Where can I get information about latest versions if any.

Thanks in advance!

We are still on 8.0.1 though check my blog post Get your fix pack for IBM Information Server 8.0.1 on all platforms.

Release 8.1 products such as the deployment tool and the optimizer have been demoed since the IOD conference last October but we still don't have a release date. It should be just a couple months away.

Some metadata products are being released between major releases and you can get FastTrack and the Business Glossary Anywhere tool right now.

Thanks a lot!

I have already applied fix pack 1a to Information server 8.0.1. and your post helped me a lot!
but recently I got a call from a company looking for guys with experience in Information Server 8.0.2 which took me by surprise. also please look at this post where people talk about upgrade from Datastage 7.5 to WTX 8.1 and 8.2. So I am just curious.

WTX = WebSphere Transformation extender, which is the successor to DataStage TX.

It is no longer a direct part of the DataStage family of products, and therefore is separately versioned.

Thanks Ray!

So Can I mark this thread 'Resolved' by concluding that as of today, the latest Datastage version is IBM Information Server 8.0.1 with Fix Pack1a?

Thanks !

I am not certain. There may be an 8.0.2 for some platforms. Check the IBM website or your account rep for up to date details.

Latest version of WTX is 8.2.0.1 build 16. There is supposed to be a new service pack at the end of May.
Since this is the datastage tx - now WTX - forum I don't think the previous posts are relevant and should be in a different forum.

Version: 8.2.0.2
Build id: 52

There's an intfix01 file to go on top of this release.

Well Currently I am working on the latest version and it's 8.5.

Jack - you are replying to a two year old thread. At the time the information was correct.
