# Integrating with DataStage
{: #dc_integration}

You can integrate IBM® watsonx.data with IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data to ingest and to read data from watsonx.data.

## Requirements
{: #prereq_ds}

Following are the requirements to integrate watsonx.data with DataStage:

- Cloud Pak for Data with DataStage (version 5.0.1 or later)
- IBM® watsonx.data (version 2.0.0 or later)
- Use watsonx.data connector in DataStage to read or ingest data into watsonx.data.
- Make sure that Data Access Service (DAS) is enabled in watsonx.data to enable data ingestion in DataStage.
- Presto engine must be provisioned in watsonx.data to read and ingest data in DataStage.
- Amazon S3 or IBM Cloud Object storage must be connected to watsonx.data to enable data ingestion in DataStage.
- The Amazon S3 or IBM Cloud Object storage must be connected to the Iceberg catalog, which must be associated to the Presto engine to enable data ingestion in DataStage.
