Datastage 7.5.1A Migration From Solaris to AIX
Hi,
We are planning for migration of Datasage 7.5.1A that is installed on Sun Solaris to new AIX box. Please let me know the necessary steps that are needed in migrating this tool after re-installing on new server.
How to configure the tool just like the one in the older server? How to move the repository file from Older to Newer one? Is it a just copy and paste of the configuration files and repository files between the servers or do we need to follow any set of rules?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Sue

What chipset is being used in the Solaris machine. If it's x86, you'll have byte order issues. In any case, the recommended method is to export projects from the old system, create projects on the new system and import into those newly-created projects. Cut-and-paste is definitely NOT the correct way.

The easiest question to ask is whether Solaris is running on SPARC or x86 chipset.
Another way is to look at the first four bytes of a hashed file with a hex viewer such as od.

Code: Select all
od -cx VOCLIB | head -1

Installing is installing is installing. You need to install the AIX version. Are you installing on 64-bit or 32-bit version of AIX? (DataStage 7.5 is a 32-bit application.)
Migration of DataStage artifacts is then a matter of export then import. Since export is pure text, the chipset is irrelevant to this method.
If you are moving hashed files, use the -export and -import options of the format.conv command, which will look after byte-order for you automatically. DO NOT try to copy hashed files from one operating system to the other.
If you are installing Enterprise edition, you need the AIX-specific C++ compiler, xlC_r.
