Getting started with DataStage

Use DataStage to transform your data and move it between target systems. You can connect directly to enterprise applications, cloud data sources, relational and NoSQL systems, REST endpoints, and more.

With DataStage, you can create flows that extract data from a source, transform it in a series of stages, and load it to a target. You can access hundreds of prebuilt transformation functions, parallel processing capabilities, and platform connectivity. Design and reuse flows to integrate data across systems throughout your organization.
