Enrol Details
Course Code: KM520G Brand: UGI – Master Data Management Server Category: Analytics Skill Level: Basic Duration: 8H Modality:CR Audience
This course is recommended for those who will be administering Information Server and DataStage.
Prerequisites
It is recommend that students take KM510 “IBM InfoSphere Administrative Tasks for Information Server v11.5” course.
Short Summary
This course teaches Information Server and/or DataStage administrators to configure, manage, and monitor the DataStage Engine. Overview
This course teaches Information Server and/or DataStage administrators to configure, manage, and monitor the DataStage Engine which plays a crucial role in Information Server. It not only runs high performance parallel ETL jobs designed and built in DataStage. It also supports other Information Server products including Information Analyzer, QualityStage, and Data Click. After introducing DataStage parallel jobs and the Engine that runs them, the course describes DataStage project configuration, the Engine’s development and runtime environments, and the Engine’s data source connectivity. In addition the course explains how to import and export DataStage objects, how to run and monitor DataStage jobs through the command line and GUI, and how to use some important Engine utilities.
