Introducing DataStage
DataStage, a core component of Ascential's Enterprise Integration Suite,
enables you to tightly integrate enterprise information, regardless of the
sources, targets and time frames. Whether you're building an enterprise
data warehouse to support the information needs of the entire company,
building a "real-time" data warehouse, or integrating dozens of source systems to support enterprise applications like CRM, SCM, and ERP,
DataStage helps ensure the success of your enterprise data integration
initiatives.
ment resources resulting in a decreased development and maintenance 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 create 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 existing data integration business logic. This
works through the concept of containers, 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.
