Overview of InfoSphere DataStage
IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® is a data integration tool for designing, developing, and running jobs that move and transform data.
InfoSphere DataStage is the data integration component of IBM InfoSphere Information Server. It provides a graphical framework for developing the jobs that move data from source systems to target systems. The transformed data can be delivered to data warehouses, data marts, and operational data stores, real-time web services and messaging systems, and other enterprise applications. InfoSphere DataStage supports extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) patterns. InfoSphere DataStage uses parallel processing and enterprise connectivity to provide a truly scalable platform.
