Designer Functions
Designer is mainly used for the following
 Design and Develop jobs
 Compile the jobs
 Run the jobs
 Import and Export datastage components
 Import Table definitions
 Perform Estimation of Resource, Performance analysis and generation of reports

Note:
On Compilation,
1. OSH (Orchestrate Shell Script) is generated for each job.
2. For any transformer stages, c++ code is generated.

For each transformer, datastage builds a C++ framework operator that is then
compiler. So, when a job contains a transformwe, it takes longer to compile (but not
to run)

In WebSphere DataStage, jobs can be opened in read-only mode.
