What you will learn

Students will learn to Create Parallel & Sequencer Datastage Jobs to implement Business Intelligence on any given requirement. Additionally, the course explains the different IBM Datastage Admin Activities with the concepts of Architecture, Partitioning & Deployment strategies. In Short, Zero to Hero in IBM Datastage.

Description

New Video recordings with a better Audio and Video Clarity uploaded on March 2023 with Subtitles in English, Spanish, German, French and Russian. The VM used in the recording is backdated because of the expiry of the Software used.

ETL/ELT, buzz of Datawarehouse, Initial point and source for Reporting and Analytics, IBM Datastage is always in demand ETL tool used in many sectors to implement Business Requirement.

There are detailed explanation on the Architecture, Installation, Topology & 65 examples of Job Design using different stages to learn Datastage Designer and Director. Additionally, the course is filled with assignments & scenarios with free-data for practice.

Let's parse that.

IBM Datastage is one of the software in IBM Inforsphere Information Server Suite and is used in all major sectors not limited to Banking, HealthCare, LifeScience, Aerospace projects for data transformation and cleaning. 
Because of its cool User Interface and ease of design, its easy to implement any requirement/scenario with limited background knowledge. 
These 65 examples will help you trust Datastage. Each is self-contained, has its dsx code attached. Each example is simple, but not simplistic.
What's Included:

The Big Ideas: Before we get to the how, we better understand the why - this course will help clarify why we even need ETL and Datastage.
The Little Details That Matter: Partitioning & Pipelining, Types of Jobs(Server,Parallel & Sequencer Jobs) and their differences, Deployment topologies (like Two tier, three Tier, Cluster & Grid). Concepts like these matter, this course will cover them.  
Aditionally, the course focus on live requirement implementation & clarifications. Hence, we design 65 scenarios to understand the basic concepts of stages from Designer & Project setup from Web Console and Administrator.

Also, you are provided with Datastage 9.1 and Datastage 11.3 Virtual Machine where you can practice and explore the tool.

Using discussion forums

Please use the discussion forums on this course to engage with other students and to help each other out. Unfortunately, much as we would like to, it is not possible for me to respond to individual questions from students:-(

I have worked with many consultancies on training Datastage and have literally seen students getting looted by them, in terms of money, time and training content and quality. And hence,I took over my course to Udemy to make it reachable to millions at an affordable price without worrying about the mediators.

Also, I have implemented the entire experience of 3 years of training to create a course, which is self understandable and covers all the concepts required to implement any simple to complex scenario on Datastage. And hence, the course comes with *MINIMAL Technical support over email or in-person*. The truth is, direct support is hugely expensive and just does not scale.

We understand that this is not ideal and that a lot of students might benefit from this additional support. Hiring resources for additional support would make our offering much more expensive, thus defeating our original purpose of delivering the course at a low cost. But we can definately use the discussion forum to help each other out. I can pitch in at times on certain scenarios if required.

It is a hard trade-off.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

What are the requirements?

Basic knowledge of DB concepts like Joins (Left, Outer, Inner or Full) & Slowly Changing Dimension Concepts esp SCD Type 1 & 2.
The course cover the Virtual Machine set up of Datastage - no worries on that front as we have to simply use the Virtual Machine & Datastage is installed already!

What am I going to get from this course?

The course explains the basic concepts and architecture of Datastage, sets the mandatory steps to follow to design the jobs to ensure minimal errors and warnings, use Datastage to Implement Business requirement using different stages, pick up the correct stage to create a best suitable job.
Identify what features are available in the stages that we can choose to implement a certain requirement to ensure limited stage usage and maximum output with accuracy.


Lastly, I would like to thank my colleague "Sushmita Gaur" in helping me create this Video. Your input and guidance are very helpful in putting things together.

I can tell the instructor has extensive knowledge and experience in DataStage but for beginners like me with 0 knowledge this is information overload. Long discussion over a few movements of the slide, not sure which ones to take note and disregard. Also, audio in Section 3.3 not clear.

Mi nivel de inglés unido al del instructor (elevado) hace tenga que recurrir a la transcripción pero esta considero no es buena. Supongo la transcripción se ha generado de forma automática y por la forma de hablar del instructor no se ha transcrito correctamente.

Awful audio quality. So much (unnecessary?) information to go through before actually getting to the point of using the it.

I can barely understand the instructor, he speaks too low sometimes and kind of fast so he doesn't modulate his words. Not only that but the microphone is awful. And if I want closed captioning its even worse. And there are grammar mistakes in the written parts. Horrible, its much too distracting when trying to learn an already complicated subject.

so much of theoretical knowledge and the installation video is not clear . I came here for Admin related concepts but so far can only have development topics. Please work on the installation video . Grid concepts and its implementation is missing

Very good course ! I have some experience with DataStage still I have got some news from this course and very important it helps me to structure the information in my mind regarding DataStage. I recommend this course , it is a little bit costly in comparison with others courses in this platform but the information is valuable.

Easily the best course on DataStage, not only on Udemy, but also when compared to other courses on the other platforms. You can feel that the instructor has experience in all chapters of datastage. He even explains with great details the concepts so that you have the fudamentals and not rush to job design and just drag the components and expect them to work. He also provides easy access to lab where to run the jobs by providind you with a virtual machine to download. Thumbs up also for the quick replies on student problems. I highly recommend this course !!!
