designer client.

quality stage is integrated in designer.

system.in 8.0.1 code is a file based system where as
metadata is stored in database.

4.in 7.5.2 we required operating system authentications. in
8.0.1 we requiree operating system authentications and
datastage authentications.

5.in 7.5.2 we dont have range lookup. in8.0.1 we have
range lookup.

references. in 8.0.1 a single join stage can support
multiple references.


7.in 7.5.2 , when a developer opens a particular job, and
another developer wants to open the same job , that job
can't be opend. in 8.0. it can be possible when a developer
opens a particular job and another cdeveloper wants to open
the same job then it can be opend as read only job.

8. in 8.0.1 a compare utility is avilable to compare 2
jobs , one in development another is in production. in
7.5.2 it is not possible

is compile and run again surrogate key is generated from
initial to n. automatic increment of surrogate key is not
