RE: DTS?

>From our DB2 guy:

IBM does have an equivalent, but it is not as good, and I think it costs
some $$. The name escapes me, but come with data warehouse edition I
think.

Dts - data transformation services. I'd think they could do it in java
anyway. It is just moving data from "A" to "B"...

subject: DTS?

        We are looking at creating a custom A/R system (do not ask why
custom!) using WebSphere/Java/DB2 on the iSeries.  The vendor selected
to do the work now says he needs to do the back end on Microsoft SQL
server. 
When asked why not DB2/400 as originally specified, he said it was
because of DTS (data transformation services?) on MS SQL server.  Does
anyone know what DTS does?  Is there an IBM product that does what this
DTS does?  Is the vendor saying this because he does not know DB2?  Is
there any reason to do this project on an WINTEL box instead of the
iSeries?

Please help.

Thanking you in advance.
