Upgrading to watsonx.data integration

An instance administrator can upgrade DataStage and Data Replication from version 5.2 to watsonx.data integration.

This upgrade is a multi-step process. You must upgrade your existing installation of the respective service to Version 5.3 of that service and then install watsonx.data integration 2.3.

Installation upgrades for the services

Before you upgrade the IBM® watsonx.data™ integration, upgrade the following services to version 5.3:
  1. Upgrade your edition of DataStage. See Upgrading DataStage.
  2. Upgrade your edition of IBM Data Replication. See Upgrading Data Replication.

Specifying installation options for watsonx.data integration

When you install watsonx.data integration on top of an upgraded service, you might need to adjust some installation options.
