Migrating InfoSphere QualityStage, Version 9.1 standardization rule sets

Migrate InfoSphere® QualityStage®, Version 9.1 standardization rule sets that are used in the IBM® InfoSphere QualityStage Standardization Rules Designer by using either istool or the InfoSphere DataStage® and QualityStage Designer. You need to export the standardization rule sets that are on the source computer, and then import the assets to the target computer to complete the migration.

You can migrate only published standardization rule sets. You can use the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Designer or istool to export and import your standardization rule sets to the new computer.

Important: IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Standardization Rules Designer will not be supported after 31 December 2020. No replacement is planned.

  1. Export and import the standardization rule sets by using the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Designer.
  2. On your old computer, open the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Designer and navigate to the standardization rule sets that you want to migrate.
  3. Select the standardization rule sets and export them. For information on exporting assets, see Exporting directly from the repository tree.
  4. Copy the exported files to your new computer.
  5. On your new computer, open the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Designer and import the standardization rule sets that you exported from your old computer. For information on importing assets, see Importing previously exported objects.

To export and import the standardization rule sets by using istool

Use this procedure to migrate InfoSphere QualityStage, Version 9.1 standardization rule sets that are used in the IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Standardization Rules Designer by using istool. You need to export the standardization rule sets that are on the source computer, and then import the assets to the target computer to complete the migration.

You can migrate only published standardization rule sets. You can use asset interchange to import and export your standardization rule sets to the new system.
  1. Export the assets from the Version 9.1 computer.
    For information on exporting assets from your Version 9.1 system, see Export command for InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage assets. The asset type of a standardization rule set is a data quality specification. The file extension of a data quality specification is .dqs. For example, you might specify the following export command to export a standardization rule set:
    • Linux cue graphicUNIX cue graphic
      istool.sh export  -domain localhost:9080 -username  isadmin -password ibmXYZ -archive "/opt/archive.isx" -ds '"<server>:31538/<project>/Standardization Rules/NEW.SET.dqs" -incdep'
    • Windows cue graphic
      istool.bat export  -domain localhost:9443 -username  isadmin -password ibmXYZ -archive "C:\archive.isx" -ds '"<server>:31538/<project>/Standardization Rules/NEW.SET.dqs" -incdep'
  2. Import assets to your 11.7 computer.
    For information about importing assets to your Version 11.7 computer, see Import command for InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage assets. The asset type of a standardization rule set is a data quality specification. The file extension of a data quality specification is .dqs. For example, you might specify the following import command to import a standardization rule set:
    • Linux cue graphicUNIX cue graphic
      istool.sh import  -domain localhost:9080 -username  isadmin -password ibmXYZ -archive "/opt/archive.isx" -ds '<server>:31538/<project>' -replace  
    • Windows cue graphic
      istool.bat import  -domain localhost:9080 -username  isadmin -password ibmXYZ -archive "C:\archive.isx" -ds '<server>:31538/<project>' -replace
