DataStage Architecture

The top half displays the Clients. Below there are two engines: The Server engine that runs DataStage server jobs and the parallel engine that runs parallel jobs. Our focus in this course is on Parallel jobs.

The DataStage client components are:

Administrator
Administers DataStage projects and conducts housekeeping on the server

Designer
Creates DataStage jobs that are compiled into executable programs

Director
Used to run and monitor the DataStage jobs
The Repository is used to store DataStage objects. The Repository is shared with other applications in the Suite.
