Parallel job in DS Server edition
Hi,
When open the DS, there is a window prompt out to ask use new derver job, sequence job and etc. I saw there is a new parallel job and new parallel shared container. My question is can we do the parallel job in server edition? and what is functions on this both jobs?
Thank you

Hi,
Usually having those options means you have it installed.
So try building a new parallel job a simple column generator stage directed to /dev/null using a sequential file in append mode will do the trick.
in any case bare in mind you need a C++ compiler to be able to compile parallel jobs that make use of the transformer stage.
IHTH,

You can't "develop a parallel job in Server edition". If all you have is the Server edition, then all you can generate are Server jobs. If you have the Enterprise edition, then you can create either. And the same Designer tool is used for both.

so which means...i can create the parallel job in designer at server edition but i cannot run it at server edition. so, i have to export the job to the parallel extander?chulett wrote:You can't "develop a parallel job in Server edition".

is it with this meaning?
No, that's not what I meant... I meant exactly what I said.
If you have the ability to create PX jobs, then you have the Enterprise Edition of DataStage. The Enterprise Edition supports both Server and PX jobs, created using the same client tools - Designer, Director, etc - all work for both Server and PX jobs.
If all you have is the plain Server or Extended Editions of DataStage, then you can't create PX jobs. Period.
Not sure how to say it any clearer than that.

i'm sorry that i makes u on trouble....coz my client keep asking me on we can use the parallel jobs in server edition.The reason she saw thats is a new parallel job , new parallel shared container on the window prompt out once u open the DS. she said if we using the new parallel job then which means we can develop the parallel job.
But my mind is....we just only can create the "parallel job in enterprise edition only"
is it correct?

The literal answer to "can we use the parallel jobs in server edition" is no. If the question is "can we only create the parallel job in enterprise edition only", the answer is yes.
But keep in mind the fact that in the Enterprise Edition you can also create Server jobs.

The reason that you see the option to create a Parallel Job in the popup window is because you have Enterprise Edition installed along with the ServerEdition while installing DataStage. Now, if you can create parallel jobs..The answer is Yes.You can use the stages and just design a job. You can choose to create a Parallel Job but you wont be able to compile and run them unless you have a C++ compiler. And the rest..I think Craig explained it neatly.
