About this task

InfoSphere DataStage
To activate or deactivate an InfoSphere DataStage edition or feature pack (for example, if you are no longer entitled to an item), you do not use the IBM® InfoSphere Information Server software removal program. Instead, deactivate them by using the iisAdmin command. For more information, see iisAdmin command. The format of the command is as follows:
Linux cue graphicUNIX cue graphic
<IS_install_path>/ASBServer/bin/iisAdmin.sh -set -key <license_key> -value [0,1]
Windows cue graphic
<IS_install_path>\ASBServer\bin\iisAdmin.bat -set -key <license_key> -value [0,1]
Table 1. Value of the license key for each product edition or feature pack
Product edition or feature pack <license_key> value
InfoSphere DataStage (parallel and server engine) com.ibm.iis.datastage.license.option.parallel
Server engine only com.ibm.iis.datastage.license.option.server
IBM InfoSphere QualityStage com.ibm.iis.datastage.license.option.qualitystage
Balanced Optimization com.ibm.iis.datastage.license.feature.BAL_OPT
SAS Pack com.ibm.iis.datastage.license.feature.SAS_PACK

To deactivate an edition or feature pack, set the value of the -value option to 0. To activate an edition or feature pack, set the value of the -value option to 1

For example, to deactivate InfoSphere DataStage (parallel and server engine), use the following command:

<IS_install_path>\ASBServer\bin\iisAdmin.bat -set -key com.ibm.iis.datastage.license.option.parallel -value 0
