Saving DataStage settings files :------------------------------Back up your settings files on your existing DataStage server.

About this task After you install IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.5, you can compare each of your saved settings files with the equivalent new file. You can then int egrate the two files. You must not replace the new files with the files that you saved from your existing installation, because you will overwrite new settings. The files that you copy depend on whether your DataStage server is on a Windows computer, or a UNIX or Linux computer. Saving the DSParams file (Windows) :---------------------------------If you are migrating an existing DataStage server on a Windows computer, save a c opy of the DSParams file from each project directory. Before you begin -> Each project has its own directory located, by default, in the directory C:\Ascential\DataStage\Projects. About this task -> Save the DSParams file so that you can move it to your target installati on. Procedure -> Copy the DSParams file from each project directory to a safe location. Also, copy the DSParams file from the Template project. For example, sav e the C:\Ascential\DataStage\Template\DSParams file. Copy the $DSHOME/uvodbc.config in the engine directory. -> The uvodbc.config file located in each project directory. Saving settings files (UNIX and Linux) :-------------------------------------If you are migrating an existing DataStage server on a UNIX or Linux computer, yo u must save copies of certain settings files. Before you begin -> The environment variable $DSHOME identifies the engine directory of your DataStage installation. About this task -> By default the engine directory is /user_home/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngi ne, where user_home is the home directory of the DataStage administrator who originally installed DataStage (by default, dsadm). Each project is in its own directory in the /user_home/Ascential/DataStage/Projects directory. Procedure ---------> Copy the $DSHOME/dsenv file to a location outside of the DataStage file struc ture. -> To keep a record of the existing configuration and the configuration of your ODBC drivers, copy the following files to a location outside of the DataStage file structure: ------------------------------------------------$DSHOME/.odbc.ini $DSHOME/uvodbc.config The uvodbc.config file located in each project directory Copy the DSParams file from each project directory to a location outside of the DataStage file structure. Also, copy the DSParams file from the Template project. $DSHOME/../Templ
