Parallel Extender Jobs on DataStage Windows Server

Post by dlvsrinivas »

My project needs to develop Paraller extender jobs on the DataStage server installed on Windows NT server. The DataStage documentaion says, "Parallel extender jobs run on DataStage UNIX servers that are SMP, MPP, or cluster systems, but you can install it on an NT server in order to develop jobs which can subsequently be run on a UNIX server."
In this case, can I export and import these P.E jobs developed on NT server to the DataStage server on Unix and can work comfortably with it? Also, could anybody explain how the development process takes place in this scenario? Is there any way to do the self testing of these jobs on DataStage windows server?

In DataStage 6.0 you can create PX jobs on a Windows-based server.
You can not compile them there, which means that you cannot test them there.
You can not use View Data, because the underlying (Orchestrate) engine has not been ported to the Windows environment.
I believe that PX on Windows is supported in the next release of DataStage (7.0).
