IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® and QualityStage® provides a graphical framework that you use to design and run the jobs that transform and cleanse your data.
Depending on which products you have licensed, you can develop parallel jobs to transform and cleanse data, server jobs to transform data, and mainframe jobs to transform data. Parallel and server jobs are run on the IBM InfoSphere Information Server engine. Mainframe jobs produce COBOL code which runs on a mainframe computer.
You design jobs in the IBM InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Designer client and run them in the IBM InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Director client. Jobs are organized into projects, and you can administer these projects by using the IBM InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Administrator client. You can deploy your job designs and job design collateral by using the InfoSphere Information Server Manager.
