Background
S2PX supports the in-situ conversion of Server jobs from a supported standalone (i.e. non-Cloud Pak) version of DataStage (v11.7.x).
S2PX can only convert Server jobs which already successfully compile and run in a supported version of DataStage.
Technical Prerequisites
Requirement | Description | Link |
|---|---|---|
Open (non-IBM) Java v1.8 | S2PX is implemented as a MettleCI Command Line plugin and so is subject to the prerequisites of that tool. MettleCI CLI components cannot use the IBM-specific version of Java typically shipped with DataStage due to technical limitations with that version. See the MettleCI CLI documentation for more details. | |
IBM DataStage Fix Pack v11.7 : 11.7.1.3 SP4 v11.5: TBC by IBM | S2PX requires the installation of a DataStage Fix pack in your existing DataStage environment to provide a number of additional capabilities requires for it to operate.

C++ Compiler | This is required as part of a standard DataStage Parallel Engine installation, however we draw attention to it as a C/C++ Compiler is required when you need to replace a custom Server function currently written in DataStage BASIC with a replacement Parallel function. Instances on these will be identified by S2PX Asset Queries. | |
DRS-compatible Storage Platform | Note that this is only required if your Server Jobs make use of the Hashed File stage. Hashed Files will be replaced with a DRS Connector which will require, at a minimum…
