Control-M for IBM DataStage
IBM DataStage enables you to construct data handling jobs that automate both ETL (extract, transform and load) and ELT (extract, load and transform) processes.
Control-M for IBM DataStage enables you to do the following:
- Integrate IBM DataStage jobs with other Control-M jobs into a single scheduling environment.
- Connect to any supported IBM DataStage server from a single Control-M for IBM DataStage installation.
- Connect to any supported database from a single computer with secure login, which eliminates the need to provide authentication.
- Attach an SLA job to your IBM DataStage jobs.
- Introduce all Control-M capabilities to Control-M for IBM DataStage including advanced scheduling criteria, complex dependencies, Resource Pools, Lock Resources, and variables.
