Datastage 8.0 (8.1 and 8.

5)version-standalone
DataStage 8 version was a standalone version where DataStage engine and service
are in DataStage server but the Database part repository (metadata) was installed
in Oracle/DB2 Database server and client was installed in local PC and accesses the
servers using the ds-client.
Metadata (Repository): This will be created as one database and will have 2
schemas (xmeta and isuser).This can be made as RAC DB (Active/Active in 2
servers, if any one DB failed means the other will be switch over without connection
lost of the DataStage jobs running) where
xmeta :will have information about the project and DataStage software
iauser: will have information about the user of DataStage in IIS or webconsole
Note: we can install 2 or 3 DataStage instance in the same server like ds-8.0 or ds8.1 or ds-8.5 and bring up any version whenever we want to work on that. This will
reduce the hardware cost. But only one instance can be up and running.
The DataStage 8 was also a standalone version but here the 3 components were
introduced defiantly.
1.information server(IIS)- isadmin
2.websphere server- wasadmin
3. Datastage server- dsadm
1. The IIS also called as DataStage webconsole was introduced where in which it will
have all the user information of the DataStage. This is general accessed in web
browser and dont need and DataStage software installation.
After the DataStage installation. The IIS or webconsole will be generated and will
have isadmin as administrator to mange this web console. once we login into the
web console using isadmin we need to map the dsadm user in the engine
credentials(dsadm is the unix/windows user created in the datastage server with
dstage group).Then after the mapping the new users will be created in the same
user components(note:The users xxx created are internally tagged to dsadm
mapped user which internally making connecting between unix datastage server
and IIS webconsole.All the files/project ..etc created using xxx will be owned by
dsadm user in the unix server)

Client components & server components

Client components are
Data stage designer
Data stage administrator
Data stage director
IBM import export manager
Webconsole
IBM infosphere DataStage and Qualitystage multi-client manager
Others I have not come across J
Data stage designer is user for to design the jobs. All the DataStage development
activities are done here. For a DataStage developer he should know this part very
well.
Data stage administrator is used for creating the project, deleting the project &
setting the environment variables. This is handled by DataStage administrator
Data stage director is use for to run the jobs, validate the jobs, scheduling the jobs.
This is handled by DataStage developer/operator
IBM import export manager is used for to import & export the project to view & edit
the contents of the repository. This is handled by DataStage operator/administrator
Webconsole is use for to create the datastage users and do the administration .This
is handled by DataStage administrator
Multi-client manager is use for to install multipal client like ds-7.5,ds-8.1 or ds-8.5 in
the local pc and can swap to any version when it is required. This is used by
DataStage developer/operator/administrator/all
