    The level of bundled open-source components should be clearly stated in the Release Notes or Technotes at the time of DataStage release. Additionally, the impact of differences in open-source components on DataStage should also be clearly indicated.

    Currently, there is no mention of open-source components in the Release Notes (e.g. https://www.ibm.com/docs/ja/iis/11.7.0?topic=rn-infosphere-information-server-version-1171-fix-pack-5-releasenotes) or in the installation-related information prov...

    DataStage incorporates multiple open-source components. To ensure system stability and operational consistency, any behavioral changes resulting from updates to these bundled open-source components should be managed and absorbed by the DataStage installer. This approach prevents disruptions during system deployment and post-deployment operations.

    Currently, there is no mention of open-source components in the Release Notes (e.g. https://www.ibm.com/docs/ja/iis/11.7.0?topic=rn-infosphere-information-server-version-1171-fix-pack-5-releasenotes) or in the installation-related information prov...
