Specifying your own stages in DataStage

Last updated: Mar 12, 2025
Specifying your own parallel stages in DataStage

In addition to the stages and connectors available through the DataStage® design canvas, you can define your own stage types, which you can use in DataStage flows.

Note: To use this functionality on IBM Cloud, you must set up a remote runtime engine with DataStage as a Service Anywhere. For more information, see DataStage Anywhere.

To specify your own stages, go to the Assets tab of your project. User-defined stages are DataStage components. You can edit existing ones through the DataStage components list under Asset types. You can create new ones by clicking New asset + > Create reusable DataStage components and selecting your component type.
