Pfffff ... hell of a few days.
Doing an upgrade of datastage, which according to the manual is quite straight forward.
(would be the first time with an ibm product I thought)
Attempt 1 ended in the complete chaos, as the rollback of the upgrade installed over the earlier version and decided that rollback = delete all installed files.
No backup was present so everything needed to be re-installed.
Then you raise a ticket by IBM.
Meanwhile attempt 2 was ongoing (this time I made a backup
). Attempt 2 failed also.
Finally IBM support answers with, "Don't do an upgrade do a clean install".
Then why the h*ll do they write a 15 page manual on how to do the upgrade you bunch of *******
And today a 3rd attempt which also failed ... Really .. stay as faaaaar away from IBM as you can ..
sorry if it's polluting the topic ... but anyways hope everybody else his/her day will be splendid
