IBM InfoSphere DataStage Training Course and Workshop in Bangalore, Mysore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Kolkata

In IBM InfoSphere DataStage - Essentials training course, you will learn to acquire the skills necessary to develop parallel jobs in DataStage. You will learn to create parallel jobs that access sequential and relational data and combine and transform the data using functions and other job components.

In IBM InfoSphere DataStage - Advanced Data Processing training course, you will learn to develop data techniques for processing different types of complex data resources including relational data, unstructured data (Excel spreadsheets), Hadoop HDFS files, 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.

In IBM InfoSphere Advanced DataStage - Parallel Framework training course, you will learn to develop a deeper understanding of the DataStage architecture, including a deeper understanding of the DataStage development and runtime environments. This will enable you to design parallel jobs that are robust, less subject to errors, reusable, and optimized for better performance.
