Parallel jobs on linux

[MukundShastri]

Parallel jobs can get compiled on windows . However they cannot be run on windows. They can be run on unix. But can they be run on the linux platform ? Has anybody tried it ? Also do inform the linux version which can get installed on a Intel Pentium 4 PC .

Thanks

Parallel jobs can be run on Windows provided that the DataStage version is 7.5x2.

Parallel jobs can be run on Red Hat AS3.0. The Server to Parallel Transition Lab offered through DCS is run on a Linux server. This is running version 7.5.1 of DataStage.

... However they cannot be run on windows...

That is not fully correct. Some versions of EE on Windows will not allow the parallel jobs to be executed, while others do. PX will use the c++ compiler to create binary and object code; such code becomes machine specific and will not execute on other platforms and will need to be recompiled on the new hardware.

On recent projects I have seen Linux overwhelmingly becoming the most popular platform for DataStage servers, especially on sites running clusters or grids. If you work out how to get the first server setup correctly then you make this the standard configuration for every server that follows and you don't pay operating system license fees.
