Developing server jobs

Server jobs are compiled and run on the IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server engine. Such jobs connect to a data source, extract and transform data, and write data to a target database or file, such as a data warehouse.

Server jobs
InfoSphere DataStage® jobs consist of individual stages. Each stage describes a particular database or process.
