The Industry’s Most Powerful Solution
DataStage supports the collection, integration and transformation
of high volumes of data, with data structures ranging from simpleto highly complex. DataStage manages data arriving within sec-
onds of being acquired, as well as massive quantities of data that
flood the system, in daily, weekly or monthly processing intervals.
The Most Comprehensive Source andTarget Support
DataStage supports a virtually unlimited number of heterogeneous
data sources and targets in a single job, including:
> text files
> complex data structures in XML
> ERP systems such as SAP and PeopleSoft> almost any database - including partitioned databases -
such as Oracle, DB2 EE/EEE/ESE (with and without DPF),
Informix, Sybase, Teradata, SQL Server, and the list goes
on including access using ODBC
> web services
> SAS
> Messaging and EAI including WebSphereMQ and
SeeBeyond
…and many more. If it's in your enterprise, it's supported.
Real Time Data Integration Support
DataStage can operate in real-time, capturing messages or extract-
ing data at a moment's notice on the same platform that also inte-
grates bulk data. This provides a key advantage over competing
offerings that require the use of two separate tools to achieve the
same functionality.
Advanced Maintenance and Development
DataStage features a powerful architecture that gives developers
maximum speed, flexibility and effectiveness in building, deploying,
updating and managing their data integration infrastructure. The
productivity-enhancing features in DataStage reduce learning
curves, simplify administration, and optimize the use of develop-
ment resources resulting in a decreased development and mainte-
nance cycle for data integration applications. As a result,
DataStage enables companies to spend less time developing their
integration and more time reaping the benefits of it.
Complete Development Environment
The DataStage design metaphor is characterized best by the
phrase "work as you think." Developers use a data-flow model of
application programming and execution, which allows them to cre-
ate a visual sequential data flow. A robust graphical palette helps
developers diagram the flow of data through their environment via
GUI driven drag-and-drop design. Developers also benefit from a
versatile scripting language, powerful debugging capabilities, and
an open application programming interface (API) for leveraging
external code.
Get Started Quickly
Intelligent Assistants are wizard-like functionality within DataStage
that used for initial job creation. Creating Slowly Changing
Dimension jobs (supporting Types 1, 2, and 3) is one example of
Intelligent Assistants available. Job templates and pre-configured
components also speed development.
Powerful Pre-built Functions
DataStage features the industry's most extensive data integration
development environment, with a library of more than 400 pre-built
functions and routines that allows developers to simply pick and
choose.
Reuse, Versioning and Sharing
DataStage shortens the development
cycle by promoting the reuse of exist-
ing data integration business logic. This
works through the concept of contain-
ers, which allow jobs and meta data
created in one container to be shared
and reused by other jobs. Versioning
extends the development, test and
deployment of jobs among multiple
developers or DataStage servers.
DataStage's end-to-end meta da
sharing among all the tools that
make up the data integration lif
cycle ensures that all relevant
meta data is connected for a
clear, unambiguous picture of
your business.

of choice for complex data
integration challenges.

Event-based Scheduling and Monitoring
Administrators can schedule any DataStage job using its built-in,calendar-based graphical or command-line scheduling capability.
Alternatively, DataStage can be managed directly using any enter-
prise-class scheduling tool. Detailed job execution information for
problem determination, tuning, and monitoring is available via a
GUI, text and XML for incorporation with your existing operational
infrastructure.
The Most Scalable Platform Available
DataStage enables companies to solve large-scale business prob-
lems through high-performance processing of massive data vol-
umes. By leveraging the parallel processing capabilities of multi-
processor hardware platforms, DataStage Enterprise Edition can
scale to satisfy the demands of ever growing data volumes and
ever shrinking batch windows.
DataStage cuts the time-processing requirements and linearly
increases speed of throughput for integrating massive amounts of
data. It also boosts developer productivity by eliminating the need
to code new applications to run in parallel-a costly process that
often requires the expertise of specialists. Development is done
using sequential logic and the deployment configuration automati-
cally adds the desired degree of parallelism.
Open Extensible EnvironmentDataStage Enterprise Edition is a robust, open environment that not
only supports Ascential integration products like Ascential
ProfileStage™ and Ascential QualityStage™, but third-party appli-
cations like SAS, as well. In addition, DataStage supports custom,
homegrown code, enabling companies to reuse their existing pro-
prietary code and execute it in parallel against unlimited data volumes.
Flexible Parallelism
A separate configuration file allows users to define the degree of
parallelism without changes to application code. As a result, should
the business need to boost the frequency of its integration, users
could take the application from 2-way in the morning, to 32-way in
the afternoon, to 128-way at night-all with only a simple change to
the configuration file.
The Secret: Partitioning and Dynamic Re-partitioning
Ascential's parallel technology operates by a divide-and-conquer
technique, splitting the largest integration jobs into subsets ("parti-
tion parallelism") and flowing these subsets concurrently across all
available processors ("pipeline parallelism"). This combination of
pipeline and partition parallelism delivers true linear scalability
(defined as an increase in performance proportional to the number
of processors) and makes hardware the only mitigating factor to
performance. However, downstream processes may need data par-
titioned differently. Consider a transformation that is based on cus-
tomer last name, but the enriching needs to occur on zip code - for
house-holding purposes - with loading into the warehouse based
on customer credit card number (more on parallel database inter-
faces below). With dynamic data re-partitioning, data is re-parti-
tioned on-the-fly between processes - without landing the data to
disk - based on the downstream process data partitioning needs.
Wide-Ranging Parallel Hardware Support
DataStage scales effortlessly from SMP and SMP clusters to MPP
servers with hundreds of processors. Ensures critical integration
applications will scale in pace with business.

“Much of the significance of the capabilities provided by
DataStage Enterprise Edition is due to the ease with
which pre-existing serial applications are transformed to
operate in parallel. Without the DataStage Enterprise
Edition, dealing with the complexity of setting up and
managing parallel processes would be formidable.
