Licensed IBM InfoSphere DataStage editions and feature packs activation and deactivation
If your entitlement to IBM InfoSphere DataStage editions, trade-up, or feature packs changes after you have installed IBM InfoSphere Information Server, you must activate any newly entitled items before you can use them. If you no longer have entitlements for items, you must deactivate them.
When you install IBM InfoSphere DataStage by using the InfoSphere Information Server installation program, the program prompts you to select the InfoSphere DataStage editions and feature packs to install and activate. Each item in the selection list enables associated InfoSphere DataStage canvases and job features. Select the items for which you have a valid Proof of Entitlement from IBM. The installation program activates the features that are associated with the items that you select. Any other editions or feature packs are deactivated and cannot be used.
If you later acquire entitlements for an additional InfoSphere DataStage edition or feature pack, to use the features that are included in the item you must activate the item within InfoSphere Information Server. If you no longer have entitlement for an item, you must deactivate it. When you deactivate the edition or feature pack, the features within the item are no longer available for use.
To activate or deactivate an edition or feature pack, use the iisAdmin command.
If you installed InfoSphere
DataStage,
the full product with all optional features was installed. However,
the installation program activated only the features that are associated
with the edition and features that you selected at install time. If
you acquire entitlements for additional InfoSphere
DataStage features,
enable them by using the iisadmin
command. Also use
the command if you are entitled to an additional edition or trade
up to a different edition.
For example, a company is entitled to IBM
InfoSphere
DataStage Server,
and enables this item. At a later time, they become entitled to the
full functionality of IBM
InfoSphere
DataStage from DataStage Server Trade Up.
They use the iisadmin
command to enable the full
functionality of InfoSphere
DataStage.
As another example, a company is entitled to InfoSphere
DataStage,
and enables this item. At a later time, they become entitled to the IBM
InfoSphere
DataStage Balanced
Optimization feature pack. They enable these editions and features
by using the iisadmin
command.
The following table lists the InfoSphere DataStage editions and feature packs that the InfoSphere Information Server installation program can install. The table also lists the features that are included within each item.

If jobs are created that depend upon certain editions or feature packs, and those editions or feature packs are deactivated, the jobs remain in the repository. However, they cannot be opened, or cause an error message when opened.
