Introduction_to_IBM_Data_Studio

The document provides an overview of IBM Data Studio, detailing its role in the data life cycle and its two available packages: Stand-alone and IDE. The IDE package offers full functionality and integration with other IBM Eclipse-based tools, while the Stand-alone package is smaller and lacks some features. Data Studio can run on various Windows and Linux platforms, requiring a minimum of 1GB of memory and specific disk space depending on the package.

So, moving on to the next chart,


Where does Data Studio fit in in the data life cycle?
We can see from this chart, that Data Studio has partial functionality
for every step in the lifecycle of data.
At the top of the figure you see the "Task Launcher"
that you will find when you start Data Studio 2.2.1
Each tab represents a step in the life cycle of data;
from design, development, and administration to monitoring and tuning.
The arrows point to descriptions with more information as to what
functionality is included in each tab.
Note that some of the functionality listed is available only
on the IDE package of Data Studio
which will be described in the next few sldies.
The other products mentioned in the previous slides like ODS, ODA
IDA, and so on, provide
complimentary functionality for each step in the data life cycle.
Now, let's talk about packaging.
Data Studio is available in 2 packages: Stand-alone, and IDE
Data Studio is available in 2 packages:
a Stand-alone, and IDE
which is here on the second line.
IDE package which stands for Integrated Development Environment.
With this package you get everything Data Studio can offer
including an installation manager.
. It also allows you to integrate well with other IBM Eclipse-based tools.
For example if you have IDA installed in your system,
then after installing and starting Data Studio IDE package
you would see all the menus also from IDA from the same console
as one single tool.
As you install more products that can be integrated like this,
you will see more menus appearing from the same console.
You also can "shell-share",
meaning that you share the same Eclipse across all of these products.
Now the IDE package is rather heavy
It has a download size of 826MB.
The IDE package could be downloaded differently
as shown on the next line in the figure.
So with this other package, or another method to download IDE.
You only need to download 91 mb.
This package, will first download the Installation management component.
and then the installation manager will pull in
the components it needs rather than all of Data Studio software.

This is helpful if you have already installed other IBM Eclipse-based products
that share components with Data Studio.
The second package is the Standalone package,
also known as RCP,
which stands for Rich Client Platform (an Eclipse component).
This package has the exact same look
and functionality as the IDE package,
but it does not allow for extensibility with other IBM Eclipse-based products.
It also does not have support for a few features like
Data Web services and an XML editor.
However, the download size is a lot smaller (290Mb).
Data Studio Stand-alone made be all that you need
and is the preferred choice for people using DB2 Express-C data server.
Moving on, let's answer the 3rd question in this video
Where can Data Studio run?
Data Studio can run on Windows workstation platforms like
(XP, Vista, Windows 7)
and Windows server platforms (2003, 2008).
It can also run on Linux. Redhat and SUSE are the one normally used for testing,
but other distributions may also work.
And it can run on 32 and 64-bit systems,
though if running on 64-bit systems, Data Studio will actually be running on 32-bit mode.
Finally, to answer the last question about Data Studio requirements
you would need a minimum of 1GB of memory
and for disk space, 500 MB for the stand-alone package,
or 2GB for the IDE package.
