Course Outline
Pre-Requisites
IBM InfoSphere DataStage Essentials (v11.5)
Lessons
This course is designed to introduce you to advanced parallel job data processing techniques in DataStage v11.5. In this course you, will develop data techniques for processing different types of complex data resources including relational data, unstructured data (Excel spreadsheets), and XML data. In addition, you will learn advanced techniques for processing data, including techniques for masking data and techniques for validating data using data rules. Finally, you will learn techniques for updating data in a star schema data warehouse using the DataStage SCD (Slowly Changing Dimensions) stage. Even if you are not working with all of these specific types of data, you will benefit from this course by learning advanced DataStage job design techniques, techniques that go beyond those utilized in the DataStage Essentials course.- Use Connector stages to read from and write to database tables
- Handle SQL errors in Connector stages
- Use Connector stages with multiple input links
- Use the File Connector stage to access Hadoop HDFS data
- Optimize jobs that write to database tables
- Use the Unstructured Data stage to extract data from Excel spreadsheets
- Use the Data Masking stage to mask sensitive data processed within a DataStage job
- Use the Hierarchical stage to parse, compose, and transform XML data
- Use the Schema Library Manager to import and manage XML schemas
- Use the Data Rules stage to validate fields of data within a DataStage job
- Create custom data rules for validating data
- Design a job that processes a star schema data warehouse with Type 1 and Type 2 slowly changing dimensionsÂ

I would never take another course that starts at 11AM and goes to 9PM again. The way the course was laid out really took away from the capturing of what was presented as it was 5-6 hours of watching a screen before getting to the actual labs. There has to be a better way to lay out this particular course. In my previous course, the lectures were broken up by labs which worked out fantastic and kept you engaged in the course. There were days when in order to actually complete the labs, would go over the 9PM day end time frame. Was able to get the primary labs done, but if you want to get all the content completed, you cannot complete it in the window of this course, you will need to come back on your own time.
