Post by jojipjohn »

I am having datastage 7.5 installed and when I open a new desingner window i get a list to choose from. I have parallel jobs also in this list. Is this parallel job same as Datastage PX.

Yes.

Datastage PX is also known as Datastage Enterprise Edition.

When Ascential acquired Torrent Systems for their "Orchestrate" parallel execution technology, they named this capability "parallel extender", or PX. It was purely a marketing nomenclature. The term "PX" has now been subsumed into "Enterprise Edition", which also includes server job and job sequence capability. The name "Orchestrate" lives on in osh and a whole lot of orch... utilities.
The environment variable names beginning with APT reflect an older product name, "Advanced Parallel Technologies", that Torrent Systems also used.
