Hi All,
Is it possible to work on different projects i.e.,Let's say In X project a sequence is being running on, shall we open designer to connect to another project say Y & work on another job with the same access credentials

Thanks in Advance,

Kris, each client instance of the 3 main tools (designer,director and manager) can be open to a different project (on the same or another host) at the same time.

Kumar - I skipped the administrator client because it is not bound to a single project, but only to a single instance of DataStage server.

I Agree.

Designer can only be connected to one project at a time. However you can have multiple Designers open on one client machine, and these can be connected to different projects.

Director can only connect to one project, but can switch to another project. You can have multiple Directors open.

Manager can only connect to one project at a time. Host view allows it to "see" all the projects on the server, and like Director it can switch between projects, but it can still only be connected to one at a time. You can have multiple Managers open.
