Quality Stage Stages not visible/selectable in new projects

Hi,
I am a QualityStage newbie. Recently got access to a Version 8.0 Windows server and tried to work out the "Quality Stage Tutorial" exercises. When I start the Datastage & Quality Stage Designer Client, it starts without any problems. However, after creating a blank Parallel Project, I don't see the "Data Quality" folder in the Palette. I did a "Quick Find" and found the "Stage Types\Parallel\Data Quality" branch in Repository. But I was not able to bring any of the "QualityStage" stages to the canvas.

Am I missing any additional setting on the Client or Server side? At this time, my client and server are on the same box.

I imported the QualityStage tutorial project and it opened successfully. I am able to compile it also, without any errors.

Thanks in advance for your time and input,
V

Have you created a new Server job by accident? QualityStage stages can only be added to Parallel jobs, not Server jobs.

Do you have QualityStage licensed?

Hi vmcburney,
I am very sure that I created a Parallel Job when trying the QualityStage job.

Hi Ray,
I have requested my DS Admin to confirm this once again.
The "Program Item" is labelled "Datastage and QualityStage Designer".
When I import the Tutorial Job, it loads, compiles and executes without any issues. Would that be possible without having a valid license?

I should get a response from our Admin team in the next hour or so (they are in a different timezone)

Thanks for your time,

Yes it's possible. The Designer carries the same title whether you run DataStage only, QualityStage only, or both. Licensing affects which stages you can use.

Ray,
You were correct. I just learned that the license is not available for QualityStage.

Thanks for your time and help,
