1 Differences
7. Balance Optimization :
DS8.5: Balanced Optimization is that to redesign the job automatically with maximize
performance by minimizing the amount of input and output performed, and by balancing the
processing against source, intermediate, and target environments. The Balanced Optimization
enables to take advantage of the power of the databases without becoming an expert in
native SQL.
DS8.7: No Change
DS9.1: Balanced Optimization for Hadoop.
8. Transformer Enhancements
DS8.5: Looping in the transformer, Multiple output rows to be produced from a single input
row. 1. New input cache: SaveInputRecord(), GetSavedInputRecord().
2. New System Variables: @ITERATION, @Loop Count, @EOD(End of data flag for last
row).
3. Functions : LastRowInGroup(InputColumn).
4. Null Handling more Options.
DS8.7: No Change
DS9.1: New Transformation Expressions has been added. EREPLACE : Function to replace
substring in expression with another substring. If not specified occurrence, then each
occurrence of substring will be replaced.
9. Big Data File Stage :
DS8.5: Not Exist
DS8.7: Big Data File Stage for Big Data sources (Hadoop Distributed File System-HDFS).
DS9.1: New Enhancement on
1. The IBM Big Data Solution Integrate and manage the full variety, velocity and volume of
data.
2. New Hadoop-based Big Data Support Any to Big Data.
3. Big Data Integration with DataStage.
10. Added Java Integration Stage
DS8.5: Not Exist
